alton, are tastefully laid out, with ample and
convenient walks and carriage drives; large
and commoIious Halls are erected for the
reception of manufactured articles, the pro-
duclons Of mines, fields and forests, as well
as for specimens of the fine arts and objects
OF taste. Steam power is gratuitously fur
nlshed for machinery requiring such. aid.
Food, water, and comfortable and ample
provision, in the way Of sheds and stables,
have been provided for horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and poultry, at the expense of the Board,
and most extensive arrangements have been
made for feeding the great multitude when
on the ground. Our hotels are large and
capacious, and whatever they lack in accom-
mediation will be made up by the well known
hospitality of the citizens Of Columbus, who
have generously resolved to open their hoa-
ses and welcome the strangers who visit us
on this occasion
We are cheered by the very numerous
entries of horses, sheep and cattle, by hum
dreds already made, as well as the great
variety of valuable machinery and useful ar
ticles. May we not then confidently appeal
to the State pride of our citizens, to every
man and woman engaged in Agriculture,
Horticulture, and Manufactures, to lend
helping hand and unite their Efforts aOith ours
in giving effect to the great object of the ex>
hibition? There are hundreds and thou
sands of our Farmers, Mechanics, and Others
possessing articles Of their own production,
specimens of their own skin and industry,
OF which they might be justly proud, bring
or send these here--do not be deferred with
the idea that others will send better, and
that yours are not worthy Of exhibition we
wish full and fair representation of all
the interests in every department., to ex-
hlbit the progress Of our people. Let no
one for moment suppose that he or she Gun
do nothing to aid this enterprise, but remem.
Der that it is the aggregate zeal Of al that
gives life and energy, and spirit to the hon
orable and valuable competition of an aglii.
cultural exhibition, In this there is no pri.
vate and Legitimate feeling to CRAFTY, no
one has any personal motive to subserye:
the object is solely to elevate the character
and stimulate the industry Of our people.
By thus assoclating and communing togeth-
er, we shall secure those lights Of knowledge
which shall here be shed by the practical
experience Of others; especially shall we
know the vast improvements and progress
that are being made, every day, in the Arts,
Sciences. Agricultural, and Manufactures.
within onr borders.
Our enterprise promises to afford you
much pleasure as well as profit; to give 4
better and more enlightened direction To
Iyour labor, and higher and more profta-
Bile result. In union there is strength, a.
well moral as physical
We have done our parit: with you il nov
remains whether by your contributions the
exhibition shall be one alike creditable TO our
people and the State.
