MUSICAL FAIR.-It is proposed to hold
musical fair or festival in this city at the
time of the State Fairin October next The
plan is to offer prizes of $25, SIS and $40
for the first, second and thild best perform
ances on each of ten musical instruments,
$50 in premiums for each instrument, or
$500 in all. Ten competitors will be ad-
mitted for each instrument, making 100 per-
formers in all, the performances to be given
publicly at Tucker Hall, or some other con-
venient place, on each night, each enter
tainment to open and close with perform
ance by the 100 musicians. The instru-
ments to be used are the piano, melodeon,
harp, violin, banjo, guitar and others. We
: hope this plan will be carried out and sup
ported by the musical talent of the State.
That alone would be a great attraction, and
would help make the State Fair success
by yldrawing people here with articles to ex-
hibit who would not otherwise attend.

the money drawer, and then went out the

the decrease of expenses is $6,7S51O, show

those two months in 1869, over the CORES
