lay of last week. It was even more OF success
than the Spring Fair We have visited many
similar exhibitions in Cincinnati, but with one ex-
seption We have never seen q better display of I
spphs Or sarden products. Tne fruh was well :
arranged, and were most perfect specimens of
their kind, and embraced at least one hundred va

that the efforts of the Society will be seconded by
all our citizens and that each successive exhibit
ton shall be better than the last.
