which said ws we're member add ''sntitlsd Ia
ell the privilege Of 1854" We accordingly
inherited the sdvertisemsst TO the tune Of from
ten to fifteen dollars, besides one Or Two edi.
torisl notices. and on Tuesday concluded /"
run over and enjoy "its privileges" short
time. We did 90. and found the privileges TO
be - follows
Let. To run 10 and see the things just like
! any person With twenty five cent ticket
2ud. To pay so cents 10 get . horse and
buggy inside the gates. II he went in 1t all.

wanted 10 see snything worth seeing.
9Th The privilege Of being bluffed by the
Secretary, =. ]. Saunders. whose signature 10
subscribed to the ticket Of privileges which We
held.
9th. The privilege Of being duped into id
vsrtsing TO the tune Of ab on. $500 for 40
equivalent to twenty five cent entrance
ticket.
All these pleased privilege We could enjoy
uRdisturbed and unmolssted, and none Others
We sincerely thank Bro. Richardson OF the
democrat for his favor, and assure him that
our stock Of knowledge on the subject Of
Fairs and their privileges" received greater
secsssions At this institution than at ali other
similar ones We have rver attended either east
or wsst.-Aoline Indepsndsrs.
II the above charges are true, the editor Of
the Independent hsa . right to complain. To
the beet Of our recollection, there was money
sent with the advertisement. We know tina,
the Society advertised y about thirty papers.
and ws think, also, thst no paper vas asked
to advertise without psy-cash, in ADVANCE
No directions we're given to any Of the papers

Of the publisher. The cash attended the Of

ly made. II our friend Of the Independent. v i'll
send US q copy Of the letter from Us containing
a request to publish the Advertisement for i.
complimentary ticket. We will remit to him
the cum paid other weeklies. AID give him
one of 'Farrand's best" into. the bargain
We sent all the money and the letters to the
press, and our Instructions from the Society
were to ask no paper tc insert the advertise
ment without paying the each. II we omitted
doing 90 in the. case Of the Independent, We
are very anxious to make tie correction, and
upon requisite proof, or even the gsntleman's
word Of honor to that effect, we will for ard
the funds.
AZ to the other charges we have only to cav
that it was the intention of the Society IN civ.
ing out those tickets to the press to have them
secure to the holder all the privileges to
which members Of the Society are entitled.
and more. 1t vas an admission ticket to the
grounds-eitber with carriage or without-s
privilege that even members do not enjoy
Il was On admission ticket to the amphithestre
another privilege not secured to members
In short. it was good Tor every privilege,
except admission to the Judges stand. These
are the facts. Nov, II our friends of the IN.
dependant had to pay for taking 10 his carriage.
Or to pay for going on the stand. or for any
other privilege granted any one by the So.
ciety, it was surely . sad mistake--an error
that occurred but once-and for which we
apologize on behalf Of the Society; aua the
society claims the privilege Of refundinQ the
amount 60 paid. upon the receipt Of the list
Of items. Over one hundred editors were in
vited to the Fair in the same way, and large
number came. II any other ocs has single
fault to find as to treatment received or il
any other one bought any privileges" on the
grounds. the managers were not aware of Il.
