"WILL THE FAIR BE REaovED?" Ia a
question propounded to us every day, by persons
on the petition of the Agricultural Society. The
Executive Committee Of that body have not yet
determined whit they will do, but as the present
grounds are too small, and the constitution Of the
Society requires an annual Fair to be held, we
presume they will either secure accommodations
elsewhere, or curtail their premium list in such
manner to destroy'all interest in the Fair, and
thus save the greater portion OF the $4,000 now
annually spent, to induce people to visit Richmond
once year. IL the Fairs are given up the masses
will then lose all interest in the Society," and many
of our farmers and stock raisers will not be aba.
to keep up with the improvements now making
