820 - L. Feb. 25:2/2,4; 3/2, 6 - A beautiful sunny day greeted the fair yes-
terday. The bazaar occupies the west wing of the fair building which is
lighted by gas with heat supplied by stoves and steam apparatus under the
floor, covering an area of 6,000 feet. It has the splendor of oriental
magnificence with its drape of flags and evergreens. The bazaar has a
large book and stationery booth, and delegates from the land of the celet-
tial offer for sale a splendid collection of Chinese and Japanese wares at
their booths, Cotton, evergreens, sledges, reindeer, Moscovian ice palaces
make one booth distinctively Russian. The bazaar boasts its own postoffice
for the convenience of patrons,
The SANITARY FAIR GAZETTE is published daily and circulated by thou-
sands. Editors, printers, and pressmen are all there and the paper is made
up and run off amid the throng. - -
H. Craig, well-known microscopist, has a glass-blowing apparatus which
turns out beautiful varied figures.
In the fine arts hall several hundred worlºs by leading artists of Europe
and America are shown. There are paintings by Teniers, Kauffman, Rossiter,
Clough, Paul Webber, and others. Among the truly great pictures are CAMP
FIRE, TOWN PUMP, and MAIL DAY.
The third floor of the court house contains a museum which has curiosi-
ties from the fields of geology, mineralogy, zoology, and ornithology. War
machinery, E. Beebe's collection of stamps, coins and specimens of auto-
graphs from all the famous men in the United States are also on display.
Floral hall takes its text from nature and has so shaped its bowers,
water falls, and summer houses. Here is beauty, culled from nature and
shaped by art. The hall is octagonal-shaped, occupying the center of the
square. Entering the hall on the south side you ascend a stairway to an
elevated floor to view every part of this beautiful layout.
The fruit, the telegraph, cone, flower rustic gardening, and Indian tea
garden booths are just a few of the beautiful booths of the fair. It is
estimated that clear profits will amount to over $100,000. - (166)

2318 - L. May 30:4/3,4, 5 - Captains W. W. Hutchinson and J. T. Philpot, of
the 103rd Ohio infantry, who fell in action, were both honored members
of the Cleveland Bar association, and at a meeting held in the county
court house resolutions were adopted by that body expressing respect
for the memory of its departed members.
A committee cf five was appointed to receive the remains of the dead
soldiers, among the members being Judge J. P. Bishop, N. B. Sherwin,
and W. C. McFarland.
Judge Bishop, in his adāress on the death of Captain Philpot, said:
"Knowing him as I do, I can bear testimony to his uniform, correct habits
and integrity. Though apparently diffident, when responsibility de-
volved upon him he never shrank from it, but performed it with unwonted
firmness and integrity. -
"It was the discovery of this trait of character that caused me to
advise him to enter the service of the country, and do what he could to
aid in the suppression of the rebellion."
W. C. McFarland spoke principally about Captain Hutchinson, saying,
"I was well and 1ntimately acquainted with him. He was my classmate in
law school. In my judgment his was not one of those great overshadowing
minds which so readily grasp the philosophy, and dive deep into the
bowels of the law, but he was a man of ordinary capacity, with remarkable
industry." (52)
