30 Tar as attendance was concerned, tn
| exhibition is a grand success. We d.
not exactly mean to imply by this that tn
affair was not success in other respect
ahe specimens on exhibition were general
| superior, and some of them of the high es
excellence, but they were too few in mum
Der, and served only to indicate, by their
superiority and excellence, what the people
OF the Gulf States could do in the way of
such an exposition.
A fair of this description should be 60
supported by liberal contributions of spec i.
mems as to attract hither people from al
parts OF the Union. The beauty Of our
climate and the generosity of our soil are
universally admired by all who visit us
But what will be thought Of US when it is told
that there were not quite eighty entries to
this mos: literally managed exposition.
Having free admission tor entries and no
freight to pay to. the express company. the
country sends US but forty entries. It will
scarcely be believed except by those who
have seen fer themselves that there were
but a half dozen bouquets exhibited yes
terday, although a prize Of $40 was offered
for the best specimen. And this they call
the "land Of sun and fowers.''
With this little homily on the shorscom.
ihgs Of the farmers and fruit growers. we
will turn TO the agreeable Incidents of the
fair. First OF all, the attendance was i'm.
msnse, nearly 10000 people having visited
the hal! during the day and evening. Tho
utmost order and decorum prevailed
Every body enjoyed themselves and see med

testified to its unqualified merit and beauty
1t is tnooted that concert vii! be given
