The gentlemen so ilatteringly no

much about the Curriers' structures,

not only the public generally, but its

their willing support of the Fair, aud
by their freely uttered sentiments. de-
clared their dissent from its conduct
and views.
When it is remembered that this il
the FIRST Fair held by this Associa-
ton for years, aud that il was only at
Il late day that il was determined to
hold any exhibition at all, il must be
confessed, by all candid men in at
tendance, that IL was more successful
than could reasonably have been ex-
peeted. 1t was not NIL that our Dis.
trict Fairs should be, and not what
may be expected another season, but
the deficiencies are not Justly attributa
BILE to the Association, who have done
well, and succeeded beyond their lust
expectations. We have, in our
lengthy daily reports, noted, in
kindly way SOME Of the deficiencies
of the exhibition, which win, we
hope, be improved upon another year
but the defects were more on account
of the apathy of the people in pre-
pairing for the Fair, than for the want
of management on the part of the,
officers. The exhibition was, under
all the circumstances, quite success
full; it has afforded our people a week
Of very pleasant aud profitable enter
