The Great Northern OhIo sanitary bazaar.


TIE Great Northern Ohio Sanitary Bazaar.
The note Of preparation for this great
Fair is beginning to be heard all over the
Reserve. It Is destined to hold The same
relation to the Forest City that the recent
Fairs in Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston
dld to those cities. The Northern Ohio
Fair will be on scale commensurate with
the size Of our city and the patriotism Of
the people Of the Reserve. A building
will be erected In the center Of the Park,
enclosing the Perry Monument, covering
an area Of $4,000 feet for the purpose Of
holding the Pair in. It viii be designed
30 as to contain fine art hall; a hall
for the sale Of everything in the line Of
the useful and fancy also one for the ex-
hibision Of battle relics, old paintings, old
furniture, and other curiosities. It will
also be arranged with lecture hall to ae-
eOmmodate an audience of 5000 to witness
the tsbleaux that will be exhibited, or to
listen to the eloquencs Of Miss Dickinson,
who will probably deliver lecture on
the occasion.
The Fair will not be mere local insti-
tuition, but, as its name indicates, will be
gotten up and sustained by the peo-
pie Of Northern Ohio snd Western
Pennsylvsuis. Anything that is use
fol or fancy, will bs recsi7ed in the way
Of donations. The farmer is expected to
send butter, cheese, apples, potatoes, corn,
ests, eggs, chickens, turkeys, cattle, horses,
sheep, wood, or anything his farm pro-
duces. The tailor can send cost; the
vsgon-maker may donate carriage, or II
that is toe much for his means, an express
wagon or g wheelbsrrow. The carpenter
will have the privilege Of giving a
few days, labor in helping to erect the
building. The maohinist can give steam
engine or some other machinery. The
merchant will give os his stock. The
printer will furnish Rll the printing
gratis. TIE miliner will send q
sample OF her beautiful bOnnets to be
put up for the benefit Of the sick and
wounded soldier. The shoemaker and
shoedealer will send cases Of shoes ard
boots. The halter will crown the enter
prise with liberal gifts of hats. The lum-
Der dealer can give Of his pile Of lumber
towards the building. The railroad COM
panies will furnish freight free, and car
~ passengers st half fare to and from
the BAzaar. The ladies are expected to
send bedquilts, nightcsps, stockings, hand
kerchiefs, embroidery, dolls, dressing
gowns, fancy articles, Sc, aS infaitum. In
fact, everything that can be eaten, worn,
used or handled, will be received from
the smallest to the largest favor, and
from all classes and professions.
Itisiutsnded that everybody, and every
body's wife and children in Northern Ohio
and Western Pennsylvsnia, shall visit and
pstronizs the Fair; and for this purpose,
railroad companies will probably carry at
half fare to and from the Fair, and if ne
eesssry, 1t is expected they will run extra
trains for the purpose Of accommodating
those who wish to attend the Fair and re-
turn the same day. Our country friends
will thus mingle with their city cousins in
the great work of raising fund for the
benefit Of our gallant sick and wounded
soldiers.
When the different committees make
their report we shall give a more detailed
description Of the enterprise.
