State Fair..1S63,
CIRCULAR.
On Saturday the 9Th day of August, the
Executive Committee of tho State Board Of
Agriculture in session at the Capitol, in st.
Paul, resolved to hold State Fair, at Fort
Smelling, on tho 30th day Of September, and
the lst and I'd days Of October, it having
been ascertainsd that The necessary buildings
and grounds could be procured there for that
purpose, without charge to the Society,
through the benifcence Of the proprietor,
Hon. Franklin Steele, with The military ap
proval of Maj. Gen. Pope, commanding the
Department Of the Northwest: 1t was with
considerable reluctance and feeling of doubt
IS to success, that the Committee finally
came to this conclusion, owing to the unset
tied condition of national affairs, as we'll as
to the supposed failure in crops from the
drought but after consultation and CORES
pondence with individuals in different parts
Of the State, tho Committee learned that in
regard to tho latter, it seemed confined to
certain localities, while in general crops
were bountiful; while a. to tho former, the
recent success Of the federal arms, have buoy
ed the hopshof the people in the speedy and
honorable close Of the war with glorious re-
suits to the Union. With this changed as
Pect Of affairs, the Committee came to the
conclusion as above. While sister State 80.
cieties have kept up their annual exhibi
tlons. and gatherings of Farmers, Manufac.
turers and Artizans, this Society has for two
years past abstained from them, only on
account Of tho all absorbing interest Of the
people in the struggle pending for self gov
eminent and constitutional rights. Conse.
quent'y tho Committee will expect the mu .
tual aid and assistance of every we'll disposed
man and woman in the State. They call
upon and earnestly appeal to all classes in
the different pursuits Of life, to meet them
in Grand Jubilee on the above mentioned
days. Lot every one have some article for
