CADIz, May 27. 1860.
The annual fairs OF this province are aim ost al
over. Excepting two In the latter part Of the
summer there Will be no more this year. II Is be-
ieved that these agricultural bucolical reunions are
dying out; that the railroad has been the grave OF
the fair Certain Is 1t that the grand fair OF Seville
was a tame assemblage this year. In former years
the wealth, beauty and talent of fairskied Andalu-
sa used to spend the three days in the midst OF good
cheer and the most bewtching Of smiles but all has
departed. Nothing now remains but the skeleton Of
once happy time. The oranges blossom and
the Guadalquiver creeps away to the sea just
they did when Pzarro set out for the golden idol OF
the Peruvians. The antrcpublicans, as matter OF
course, absented themselves in order to punish the
poor, who are generally opposed to monarchy. But
the fact OF Montpensier being still In Lisbon and
the magnates OF Seville Paris and London, the
fair this year was poor and spirites5.
At Jerez de Ia Frontera, the capital OF sherrydom,
the fair was better than expected. Last year the
first one was inaugurated IN the midst OF a sitting
levantar; this year it was more pleasant and well
attended Each class OF society had its club casino
but the great army OF the unwashed patronized the
tents and the green plain to their entire satisfaction
and the am usement OF all.
