THE FAIR.

The spectacle in The Fair to-day was in the highest degree brilliant and splendid. The multitude of visitors was fully equal to that of any preceding day; but, under the admirable police arrangements, not the slightest disturbance occurred, as none has ever occurred, to mar or shade the happiness of the occasion; and the entire panorama, as seen from the galleries, was one to be remembered for a life-time. Unless The Fair closes soon, the whole country will be here to see it!

The total receipts, up to last evening, were $280,377.
