Directors to surpass all previous
exhibitions, and make the ensu-
ing Fair equal, if not superior to
any that has been held in Missis-
This they can do If they
are sustained by the planters and
merchants of Warren county and
the city of Vicksburg. sL
The Directors, however willing,
cannot do everything, and Of them
selves prepare the grounds with
buildings suitable and necessary
to the requirements Of such a fair
as they desire to hold.
The grounds are without i'm,
provements, save a good and sub
stantial fence. To prepare them
properly, and on q scale commen-
surate with the wants of a first
class exhibition, amphitheatres,
floral halls, buildings for machine
ry, stables, booths, &C., must be
erected. This cannot he done
without money. 1t is true the
last fair was successfully carried
through without n dollar to COM
mence with, but the managers only
know with what difficulty it was
accomplished. A few individuals,
together with the liberal donation
on the part Of the City Council,
enabled the managers tc hold the
last Fair, pay all its expenses,
build the fence, and yet leave Q
small surplus in the treasury.
This is an earnest Of what can
be accomplished by determined
effort and skillful management.
The Directors will meet at an
early day to arrange for the ensu.
ing Fair. The Secretary will hay'
