10 have held their Far on the 9th inst.
but IN consequence q the great aood i
was adjourned 70 the goth inst, At
which time large crowds % people wore
assembled At the fair grounds and at
Union Hall in Londonderry Much IN
terosi was manifested everything pass
ed Of pleasantly, and the fair proved
10 be a decided success
II is only regretted that some Of tbs
directors had not spent little more
time 10 preparation. and given little
more personal attention to the arrange
ments at the Hall. at the time Of the
fair. Ii is hoped that hereafter the fair
will be continued two days. ss one day
is altogether too short TO enter and ar
range the various articles for exhibition
and give The judges sufficient time To
G. anime and make out their several re-
y, rts. An exhibition OF flowers should
a. so be provided for. We we're pleased
10 see one Of the tables ornam ented by
beautiful plant in fun bloom, belong
Jag to Mrs b Bi1hy, and also a
beautiful hoquet furnished by Mrs.
Warren Wiley, both Of which attracted
much attention.
