MARYLAND INSTITUTE FAIR-This is the last day
and night of the exhibition of the Maryland Insti-
tute Fair. 1t will close at ten o clock to night at
which time the award of premiums will be an
nounced. The receipts of the Fair this year will
exceed those OF last year, but will not equal those
of some of the years previous. This is not owing
to the fact that the visitors fewer in number
than on those years, but results from the large
number of season and membership tickets which
have been sold. The articles on exhibition in point
OF quality, beauty and novelty, are far superior to
those of any of the recent Fairs and fully equal to
any which has ever taken place. The committee
on exhibition, of which Ezra Whitman ESQ., is
chairman, have been unceasing in their efforts to
give success to the exhibition and to their exertons
is due the admirable exhibition. Our citizens
should take advantage of this last opportunity
to visit the Fair.
