pertaining to the cultivation Of the land.
The reasons for this change ure beginning

Tribune, who has had large opportunities
TO observe the workings Of those fairs AS
cribes their decline TO the disgust felt by
the farmers and other producers at the un-

agricultural fairs. People no longer at
tend agricultural fairs for the purpose Of
encouraging farmers aud manufacturer,
but, Us q general hing, to gu2e upon aud
applaud fast horses and successful Jockeys,
and TOO frequently to bet upon the resalt
of the trials Of speed. The race course is
Jhrou-ed with visitors, aud other parts Of
the ground deserted. Another cause of
yhc decline is stated by ,he Heading Dem
