Mr. EDIIohi-lno suggestion ol II
in your paper Of last week, is good one.
Let us have stock Gales at our fairs. Our
fairs arc the most ennobling a interesting
gatherings known to society. Another
ring" should he intro duced for Colts,
stations, Mules, Mares, drait horses, etc.
Have nothing bpt riding and driving in
the large "ring" Let the Ladies be
j'eot ont I" with their lplumes9 and
flowing robes, and mounted on chargers,
proud as their riders, and bold and grace
full Give us a premium for gentlemen
craftsmanship. There is great'room for
improvement, in their style and skill
Increase the committee force, and give
thom power to exclude persons from tho
''ring," who are mounted on "crow
Jaits" Give premium for the best
trained team, single horse in harness, and
saddle horse. The moment one set Of
horses have been sufficiently tested in the
ring, let them be removed to the "Judg-
es sqaare," for further examination, and
fresh nags be trotied out. Thus you Sc
euro constant interest and excite ment.
The society should build two halls
each about 75 by 80 feet, and well enclos-
ed In one exhibit. fruits, flowers. grains
vegetables, dairy and kitchen products,
Hight manufactures, shrubbery etc. In
the centre Of this place needle-work show
cases etc. Then make isa gallery Of
art where pictures and statuary may be
exhibited to advantage The halls would
be 250 feet in extent, and around there
would place pictures &c. Moro than two
hundred could be secured for such an ex-
hibition in TifIin Let them be procured
and arranged before the fair. They can
be handled without injury. who would
not lend their pictures for such a purpose?
Open that room to no one, except oxhib-
to rs, until the afternoon Of the first day
Have platform for music inside Let our
Band volunteer to inaugurate the show
Ask the fireman and military to turn ous.
And al q fixed moment, then open the
doors to this Hall Of art and splendor.-
Let the band greet the thousands with
strains Of inspiring music, and as their
eyes feast upon The rich display and their
ears, are touchodby the sweet cadence Of
music, they win wish that all could see
what they see, and hear what they hear.
One, by accident is present, the FIRST day,
from remote neighborhood. He is
charmed by the fairy hall, and after
looking upon the sports Of the ring, he
hasiens home to set tho country on fro.-
In this County such an arrangement
would give au attepdence of20,0OO on
