We are glad to be able to state that leu
tiers are being received daily by the proper
officers making inquiries in regard to the
exhibition of articles and stock at the Fair
of the Cape Fear Agricultural Association.
The prospect for a good exhibition OF ar
ticles is most fattering and the attendance
will be very large. Our immediate people
are beginning to manifest great interest IN
its success and will contribute very much
thereto, and from distant States applica-
tions are on file for space to exhibit articles
During the week, too, ample provisions
will be made for the amusement OF Visltofs'
both at the Fair Grounds and the City.
Ford will open the Theatre with fine
company, and the Tremaine Brothers Will
give concerts at night. and make exhibit
ton of their musical instruments during
the day at the Associations Hall.
We are much encouraged by the tlatter-
ing prospect and look forward with much
faith in browning success at our First
Annual Fair.
