come.
Donations Of farm produce will be re-
oeived any time during the Fair or after
its close, and if the state Of the roads in
the country should make 1t impossible to |
deliver such donations at present. an In
voice Of the smeuRt and value Of the gift
may be forwarded, and the goods sent on
at ths 6rst convenient time Of shipment,
when sll will be duly credited as though
reserved during Fair week.
We would say to the ladies who are pre-
pairing fancy articles, that as the Bazaar
tables will need constant repienishing dur
ing the two weeks Of the Fair, fancy srti-
cles may be sent in the second week, If not
finished in time for the opening.
Provisions for the tables are expected
from the city dsily-and SO far as possible
must be sent in cooked and hot. Cream
and milk are needed in great quantities
daily. Guyshoga county it is hoped will
contribute daily, but will feel particularly
responsible for the supply Of the tables
during the first three and last three days
Of the Fair. Towns in this county off the
line of the railroads will please send in
whenever it is most convenient.
We have laid down the following gene
raj rules in order to equslize the donations
OF provisions. This city and county is
expected to be entirely responsible for sup
plying the tables during the 22d, 23d and
oath Of February, and I'd, 81 and 4th Of
March. Towns On the Cleveland & Toledo
and Cleveland & Mahoning roads, will
please deliver provisions here on February
25th, 26Lh and 9th or the Lake Shore
road February 29th and March lst; on the
Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati and
Cleveland & Pittsburgh on March I'd and
Srd.
Poultry sent from the country should be
alive OF undressed, unless it can be deliv-
cred here the same day of the shipment.
Butter, eggs, pickles, cheese, vegetables,
So, may be sent at any time now.
1t is the design of our citizens to make
the most liberal arrangements possible, for
the entertainment of strangers during the
Fair. The city will be very crowded and
our housekeePeTs Sery buoy with making
provision for the dining tables, and it Is
hoped that those whe come to the city as
delegates will make dus allowance for this,
and will accept the hospitality which is
most cordially rendered, feeling that ali
will he done fer their comfort that is pos.
sible.
All the railroads centeTingin Cleveland
will bring for half price those passengers
who purchase at the Same time package
of tickets for the fair. And the advantage
Ofbuying tickets in this way will be seen
by the following scale of admission prices:
Single ticket 25cts-adnits to either
hslI-packHge Of Eve tickets 2Oots each,
admit to sll the halls-paoksge of twenty
tickets l6ets esch, admit to all The halls
four times each.
Ladies coming up to attend the Bazaar
tables will, on paying for one full admis.
sion ticket be furnished with check ad-
hitting them during the time Of their at.
tendance as assistants.
Counties or towns desiring to have a
space in the Bazaar must send in positive
notice to that effect immedistely-ss it
will be impossible to arrange the fancy
tables without defnite knowledge Of the
allowance to be made for different toWns.
It will be mora convenient if the inform
alton respecting the counties could come
through the officers Of the societies at the
county towns.
Each county or town designing to have
a booth in the Buzssr will please appoint
some persons to assist in decorating this
space, and send such delegates up here a
day or two previous to the opening of the
Fair. Wewould suggest that they bring up
some device suitable for center orna-
ment Or heading for the top Of the booth.
This should bear the name Of the town
and county.
Pictures, mirrors or curtains, for orna-
men;ing the booths, might be brought up
BY the ladies vino have charge of their
county tables. Our Decorsting Committee
viii do all that lie possible, but We shall
need the taste and judgment Of the ladies
from abrosd, - wish to see them here
in time TO have the benefit Of both.
Any persons having fsgs, of any size,
are requested to loan them for decorating
the Bazaar. If marked with the name
and address Of the owner, they will be
promptly returned, and sll will be care
fully used.
To all who have an interest and pride
in this great enterprise Of The people Of
Northern Ohio, We say " GENE up and help
