young in making their awards hada had a peculiarly onerous duty which ch no doubt was greatly accelerated b by the peculiarly delightful nature of the task in hastily gilding gliding along the piles

pleasing and unique appearance which was attractive to our visitors from afar mcwilliam Mr William sugden exhibits a highly polished chew chef fonnier made of white pine grained and french polished in imitation of rosewood for which the com cittee very j justly awarded him a premium nor must we forget a very tasty home made perambulator exhibited by by henry which Is far in a advance of anything of the kind we have yet vet seen made in these valleys turning to the east wing of the build ing we enter the space allotted to the fine arts here as in other sections of the fair we are surprised at the

photographic c views taken in utah idaho and montana by C E R savage which we opine would be hard to beat anywhere in the wide world I 1 the specimens of graining painting marbling and lettering exhibited by john are very fine we do not recollect ever having seen better and connoisseurs whom we heard dilating on their excellence were loud in their praise of the artistic and natural manner in which they wera presented mr air also exhibits some bome some very pretty landscapes and home scenes mr martin has a very large collection of photographs I 1 well worthy of his reputation in

by the great masters that we would not exchange for this simple portrait of bishop hunter were it ours there are many other exhibitors in this room well worthy of special notice but time and space compel us to omit the mention of their productions today to day in the basement of the building are exhibited fruits flowers vegetables grain and flour the blow show show of these natural productions of our mountain home would undoubtedly have been much larger and finer but for the ravages of the locusts during the past three years still they far exceed our expectations tat ions and do great credit to our farmers and horticulturists in this same room also are exhibited many samples of home made leather boots and shoes tin and iron ware soap candles brushes brooms white stone china paints 3 t rope cordage netting machinery and other articles which to use usa a hackneyed expression are too numerous to mention but it is impossible today to day to enter into the varied details of the productions duet duct ions lons and manufactured goods exhibited in this apartment consequently we must reserve our remarks relating thereto until tomorrows to morrows issue about 11 a in the hon schuyler colfax vice president of the united states and the party here with wit h him having been previously invited by president woodruff were esdor escorted ted in carriages to the rooms and among the admirers of the sights perhaps none were more delighted than mr colfax and his distinguished associates with the ladies accompanying them |
