The FlemingtOil Fair.

The impression generally prevails
that the design of State and County
Fairs is to encourage honorable COM
petition, AID to bring into notice all
that is new and good from the farms,
workshops, &c. This is the represen.
tation made in applying for charters,
and upon which those instruments are
usually obtained. If the end and pur-
pose Of these enterprises were con-
stantly kept in view, much good would
result from the annual exhibitions, but
all departures from these avowed de-
signs, by partial are csrelessly appoint
ed and designing judges, is nothing
less than an indefensible and highly
reprehensible procedure. When in
competent persons are chosen to decide
upon the quality or merits of articles
placed upon exhibition, it smacks very
strongly Of wanton disregard of the
rights of exhibitors.
