fon the attendance aud the interest manl-
tested, VIC can safely say that our greatest
expectations were realized. as the ulsadvan-
tages under which we labored have
been numerous and we trust tfa public will
bc charitable having done all IN our pover
to give general satisfaction.
The address delivered by The orator Of the
day. II. N. Mcguire, Esq. was one OF mark
ed interest, and will long be remembered
not only by those present, but by thous sn.is
who will hereafter have the privilege Of
readiag it both IN the States and Territories.
Having long been Z resident Of this Terri
tory, Mr.. Mcguire is not only we'll acq q,aint-
ed with its resources, but he possesses the
ability and disposition to make them known.
The thanks OF the Association are hertby
rendered him for his efforts to make our
First Annual Fair success.
THR xxHIBITIoS.

other classes more than compensated for this
defect.

sented. Of thoroughbred, graded and road
