carefully noticing the following regulations,
viz: That the premium list is divided into nine
(9) Divisions, in alphabetical order, common
cling with A, with a suitable number Of classes
under each Disvision to embrace all the articles
on which premiums are offered: and that the
Secretary will have a window of his office, and
a clerk allotted to each Division, with a notice
in plain view over each window.
The Fair Grounds have been fitted up in
the bandsomest style, and thoroughly cleansed
of all filth or dirt. All the ha lis, pens, sheds
etc., have been whitewashed, and everything
about the grounds wears the appearance Of neat
ness and order.
There are four hundred and sixty eight stalls |
for horses and cattle, all well supplied with
straw. The sheep pens number forty-six, while
the hog pens are fifty in number.
Two large Osnaburg tents, water proof, have |
been fitted up in the most tasteful style, for the
display of flowers, fruits, etc. They will be the
feature of the Fair.
There are besides these, ten other halls, for
The display of products of the Dairy, Grains,
Grasses, and Seeds, Manufactured Articles, Me.
,hanical and Agricultural Implements, etc.
The Auction stand is near the center of the
grounds. All the pumps upon the ground are
IN good order, and there will be no lack of water
or any purpose.
Almost every foot of ground outside the en-
closure, is occupied by huckster stands, and
here promises to be no lack of gingerbread,
'ider, etc.
There can be little doubt that the Fair for this
rear will exceed, in the number, variety and
excellence of the articles entered, that of any
previous year.
Every one who can do so should attend this ,
Annual Exhibition ofthe handicraft and genius
# the farmers and mechanics of Indiana.
