NATIONAL STATES FAIR.-John M. Kin
ney, of this city, is at present in Pitts
burgh, negotiating and arranging for a
great Union States Fair, to be held in
Pittsburgh, for six days, in July, 1867
That he is just the man to arrange mon
ster affair of this kind, every one of our
citizens who know Mr.. Kinney-and who
burgh Post says. in regard to this matter:
Mr.. John M. Kinney is at present in our
city, with view towards making arrange
ments for grand National States Fair, in
which all the States in the Union are to be
represented which is to be holden during
the week including the Fourth of July, ap-
preaching. This exhibition is proposed to
be gotten up on most stupendOus scale,
and it is to be hoped will far outvie any
,6E0 k1fo ol, ookn H.
city for many years. Mr.. K. is a gentle
man of large experience in matters of this
kind, and proposes in the present instance
to use his highest endeavorS to make the
fair an immense success. Twenty per
centum of the gross receipts of the fair will
be given into the hands of the..SOldiers'
Monument Committee to be devoted to the
proposed Soldiers aud Sailors Monument
in Pittsburgh. Circulars will be issued in
a few days setting forth the plan of the
fair, and it is hoped that our citizens will
give the enterprise their hearty support.
INDICATIONS OF SPRING.-There are many
indications that our citizens, despite the
weather, are firm in the belief that Spring
is here. We suppose nothing could shake
them from this faith. Gardens are. being
made shrubbery is being set out and trees
trimmed. Here some enterprising burgher
is engaged in whitewashing his fences and
outhouses; there, another is putting up a
summer kitchen, ready for the use of the
''women- folks" when the hot spell comes
on. In different parts, painting of houses
is going on, giving them renewed and in
viting appearance. Almost every variety
of taste is displayed in the selection of col
Ors. We noticed one house painted green
with red window frames and blue door,
enlivened with yellow pannels. There's
no accounting for taste, as the old woman
said when she kissed the cow"
LLoYD's MINsTRELs. - Considering the
night, Lloyd's Minstrels have every reason
to consider the large turn out, last night, as
the highest compliment our cltizents could
pay them. No ordinary troupe could have
called together so many people on so foul a
night. The singing was not so good as on
their previous visit. We missed the sweet
tones of Jackson, ,and the deep,sweet tones of
Ainsley Scott, and the CHEEKY face of john
ny Booker, but the performance was about
the ordinary grade as it was. "Little Bare
foot" is an attractive song, and was finely
ing was Cal. Wagner's trained elephant. 1t
reached the height of the ridiculous. The
dances were far above the average, and
met a hearty encore. The troupe go hence
to GAINESVILLE, and we commend them to the
dwellers of that burg, as being the best
troupe they have seen lately.
THE REASON Why'd. w. Brooks, ESQ.,,
sends in the following note explanatory of
the reason why he had no tickets at the
Third Ward polls, on Monday last. There
was no desire on our part to do Mr.. Brooks
injustice. We gave the facts as they ap-
peared to us, as he himself found them, and
had no idea but that the candidate himself
would see that all preparations had been
made to win the fight. If the City Execu-
tive Committee were derelict in their duty,
they alone should receive the blame:
EDITOR STATESMAN I'm your issue of
Tuesday you say, I'm the First and Third
Wards the candidates did not take interest
enough in the election to have printed tick
cts at the polls" The duty of providing
the ballots at the polls belongs to the City
Executive Committee, AMI supposed they
would attend TO It, or, so far as l am con-
cerned, should have had my own tickets
prepared. Up to election day, [ thought,
of course, tue Executive Committee would
have everything in readiness.
