so imperative and constant upon you,
as 10 prevent, necessarily, TO "A very
considerable extent, the notice that
YOU would otherwise have given it in
your very excellent Journal, ] should
not now intrude upon your columns.
By the diligent labor of few men,
most of whom are now connected with
fhe Border Fair as officers, we were
enabled 10 have the first exhibition in
1874. which met with a success little
expected. Some dissatisfaction exist
ed, Of course, bat was transient in its
nature / say Of course simply because
il was utterly impossible for the man
uICIarut, in the rush for the eXhibi-
ton Of 1874. to have met the entire APP
probation Of the people. After rcnCc-
ton, however, they were willing, and
did correct their judgment by Keeping
the very worthy President and the
Directors in Office for the second wear.
and that it was wise very few will
doubt. The gross receipts OF the first
fair was - 200. Many improvements
were made during the last year. TIE
exhibition this year was far i'm ad-
vance Of its predecessor. and hut for
the rain Of Friday, The gross receipts
would have reached s. 500. as il was
s., 500 was realized. While the pre-
MUM list gave Use to some murnIur-
ing we are not willing to attach any
blame 20 the management. ON the
contrary much credit should be NV ard

80 they did under the circumstances.
The town lots, which belonged To The
Border Fair, had 10 bcdispCspd of. and
