The State Fair is over; a very pleasing Address
by SAMUEL STEVENS, Esq. Of Albany, was the last
Of the exercises at 3 to yesterday afternoon.
The tens of thousands have dispersed, leaving but
n few hundreds who could not would not leave
OF tho crammed and over-clustered cars of last
evening Most of these so West at this morn

of the public on the management Of Railroads ON
such occasions as that of State Fair Mass Con
venton.
Every wear there is one oitener there are hall
dozen. gatherings of thousands at some point on
the great line of Railroad through our State drawn
together by some common interest or sympathy
The Railroads, though they carry at reduced prices
ON such occasions, make several thousands ol dol
lars extra by them, and may make more and more
from year to year they deem it object to do so
How do they endeavor to deserve and increase this
patronage
Here il line Of Railroad over three hundred
miles long, connecting with other lines extending
at least one thousand miles 1t could hardly cost
thousand dollars to assemble at point like this SIX

Fair or Convention week. These engines and cars.

employed and kept constantly running from A

done carrying the people safely and promptly
without delaying the regular passengers Ihous'
ands would then travel by Railroad who are now
driven to other means OF conveyance or to stay al
home
But this is not the worst. The regular daily ira

Hence disappontments in payments, rem,tssnces

days at the proper hour, while the danger oil acci

There must be reform here. II the well-sustaln
