ht Of horse fairs any way Tune aud SPACE
wlll allow Of no labored essay. There has
been great deal Of tlummery written about
the value OF "the turf;'' upon The lecessity
of encouraging horse racing as promoting the
r.a1i1g Of thorough breds, which may be
crossed upon the native stock Of the country
a great deal Of this sort Of talk is mere Dalder-
dash. Because one nan IS vlrtuous shall
there be no more cakes aud ale, aud because
there is no track around Chicago, shall We
hive no good carriage horses, no fast teams
for young bloods to sport on the avenue?
a great deal, too, has been weakly said about
the necessity Of the success of this present
Fair, because Of the great importance off, per-
manent Institution OF this kind 10 The Wclf.re

BY the Punishment Of all such ins.i-
TUTORS, as they are usualiyl carried on,
from their enyirons. They are made the best
pcssible gambling schools that were ever
gotten up. There are, no doubt, honorable
exceptions Of gentleman spottsmen, but they
are exceptions.
With regard to this Fair, 1t may be said that
the efforts to get it up well have been inde-
fatigable en- the part Of the Superintendent
and Sccretary; and that their efforts have
nifc> nt show Of valuable horses. The times,
the weather, and the other matters we have
spoken Of have killed it financially. But it
may be eaid to their honor that the great ma
josity of the regular horsemeu present, who
are used to "chapeing'' matters, finding how
finances were coming out, have donated the
whole or i portion of the premiums taken by
them, to the Association.
