FAIR OF THE AMERICAN ucslIt
10 give full notice of this jubilee, in time for
countrymen 10 share in the advantages of it.
Those who wish to introduce 10 public notice
their new or improved articles of any descrip.
ton, ought to enter them at Castle Garden. Let
them be ready in time, perfectly flushed, so that
there may be no room for regret, either at not
being ready at all, or not perfectly so.
Many of our ingenious fellow-citizens have to
date their prosperity from the exhibition OF their
works at the fairs OF the Institute. The visitels
of he former fairs have amounted to some two
hundred thousand, and we are persuaded that
there will be Largely increased number at the
next fair Besides the spectacle exhibited at
Castle Garden, the convention of farmers, gard
mere, silk growers and wool growers, called by
the institute, will meet on the 18th of October,
and following days.
This is an important branch of the action Of
the institute-lhe great measure so earnest
ly pressrd by General Washington, the estab
lshment of an agricultural department of the
United States, the encouragement of new
staples of production, and the amelloration Of all
others, will occupy the attention Of the conven-
ton. The all important staples, silk and
wool, fax and hemp, will be well considered
by the convention. Many fine samples of silk,
woel fax and hemp, with new modes OF man
agement, will be before the convention. We
trust that our most judicious and patriotic citi-
Gems from various parts of the country, will make
II point to attend this convention.
