OF the most serious kind, implying a dsreliction

THE FAIR op THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE The
twtnty-third annual Fair OF The American lnstl-
tu,e is now open at Castle Garden. The Institute
was established in 1929, and Incorporated the fol-
lowing year. The first Fair was held at Masonic
Hall, (now Gothic Hall,) Broadway, and that was
the regular place for holding the Fairs for several
years; after which Niblo's Garden was used for
the purpose The destruction Of the buildings by tire
at Nibos, several years since, c'used the removal
ef the annual Fairs 10 Castle Garden, which has
been found the most commod,ous place, and the
receipts for sales of tickets Of admission have been
much increased since the change OF location. AT
the first Fair, held in 1928, no charge was made
for admission 10 the exhibition, and the expenses
were paid by voluntary contributions from friends
of the Institute. The system of charging twenty
five cents for tickets Of admission, was adopted at
the second annual Fair, ia 1929, under the manage
ment Of mr. Richard K. Haght, to which system
the Institute owes its pecuniary success and pre-
sent prosperous condition, over $1,000 annually
being the net profits of the exhibition.

Death Of Another senator rroha south Carolina
We invite the attention Of readers to the deeply IN
teresing proceedings in the Senate, the amened DEAN
Of the late senator from South Carolina, Mr. Gilmore
Nothing could have surpassed in pahos in the manly
sensbi,y which accompanied the beautiful obituary eu
logium OF his colleague, Mr. Butler, the feeling chasle
and appropriate remarks Of Mr. Hunter Of Virginia, in
which the sorrow which seemed TO Cypress his kind and
generous heart gave charm to his graceful elocuton
nor were the short addresses Of Messrs Webster Yuee
and Davis marked by less feeling, tuhfulness, and pro-
pnety
knowing Mr. Elmore whilst living we deeply deplore
him most sincerely in his death He had rare and felic
tous faculties for high public service With avery extra
ordinary aptitude for business be united to i power Of
debate which he held under the control Of an unfaterng
Judgment and unerring good taste
Very early elected member Of the Legislature OF his
own State he to distinction, and, after enjoying
many tokens OF the confidence Of his fellow citizens he
came into Congress- in 1887. to reap fresh honors After
serving for several years in the House Of Representatives,

was summoned occupy the seat rendered vacant BY the
death OF the late Mr. Calhoun His friends had fondly
cherished the hope that relieved from the intense abos
which incident to his presidency Of the institution
over which he had watched with such signal ability and
honor, in change Of occupation and climate he would
have found his health rather ameorated than impaired
But Power wiser and better than all has ordered il
otherwise and this exceedingly useful public man. in the
midst OF his unfinished labors, is summoned to realm
where his virtues will be blessed and rewarded and
where he will be exempt from the cares and anxietes
which afflicted IN this world even his pure and bameless
life
Mr. Emore, in his private relations, emphahcally
one Of the most amiable Of He carried into every
department Of the public service to which he was called

were so kindly blended in himhe at once 50 just,

died without leaving single enemy. South Carolina,
fertile in the production of great and distinguished
will mourn in bitterness this loss Of another Of her

and we should read his lessons profound reverence and
submission
