A Visitors Opinion.

Adams, OF the I1agerStoWn NeWS,
attended our Fair on Thursday, and
has given his opinion of it. He men,
tons the fact that some Morgan
county men were chiseled out of their
money by sharpers on the grounds,
and censures the Directors for per-
hitting gambling within the enclo-
sure. The French wheel, which is
entirely a game of chance, and from
the operations of which the owners
derive no gain except commission,
was the only thing having a SEM
blance of gaming about it that was
permitted on the grounds with the
knowledge of the managers-they
certainly had no one to blame but
themselves. These swindlers. ply
their vocation on railroad trains, in
hotels and wherever they may chance
to pick up a sucker They will be
on the grounds during the Hagers-
town Fair, despite all efforts to pre-
vent it. They will attend all fairs
and public gatherings, and are so
shrewd and sharp in their operations
that it is seldom any of them are ever
caught. A special lookout was kept
for them ON the grounds at our Fair,
and several of them were detected
and arrested. We have attended the
Fairs held at Hagerstown and other
places heretofore, and have seen "lot-
terry Wheels &C., in quite as great
numbers as have ever appeared on
the Fair Grounds here. Example
would be much more fOrcible than
precept by our neighbors, who COM
plain of such things. Our contem-
porary closes his report as follows
awe now say to our people--look
out for a better fair at home, for we
will surely distance that. "
We shall be glad to hear that the
Hagerstown Fair has distanced "
ours. At the same time it's a gen.
orally admitted fact that no county
fair has been more liberal in its eX-
penditures for amusements than ours.
1t has been the policy of the mana
gers to give each day of its continu-
ance programme of amusements
fully worth the price of admission
outside of the regular features of the
Fair, and they have spared no ex-
pense to do it. If the Hagerstown
Fair beats Martinsburg, the mana
gers will deserve much credit, and
we will not be slow to accord it.

LADIES' EXTRA FAG1NCE.

Every season, just about the time
appointed for the milliners and dress
makers " openings, " a series of libel
Gus paragraphs about the eXtrava-
gance Of women go the rounds of
the press. This autumn the series
re-appear punctually. One writer, Il
penurious and unwise New Yorker
utters these dismal words: ''Milli-
ners and dressmakers have sent more
husbands and wives to the divorce
court than all other human beings
combined" If this is true the wives
have at least presented a stylish APP
pearance in the courts, but it is not
more true than the other slashing
paragraphs that have hacked this
theme to pieces. A New York gen.
tleman who has looked into the mat
ter thus writes:
= have not at hand the latest
yearly report of the value of silk inn
portations. Put for the year ending
June 80, 1872, the value of dress and
piece goods was $40 ,295 PSI; fancy
goods, $5,139,7S5; making a total
value of silk dress and piece, and
fancy goods, of $25, 435, 1876. In the
State of New York, in 1870, there
were 1,602, 30 women more than
eighteen years old, and the value of
all silk goods and fancy goods per
capita to the women of this State
alone was only $15.82; and to $50 900
women the amount per capita is only
about 500. Take all the white wo-
men more than eighteen years of age
in the United States, and the value
of all the importations of silk, laces,
velvetS and feathers, ETC., is only
about $500 per capita"
These being the figures, how ridi-
culouS is the editorial onslaught on
milliners and dressmakers and wives ;
and how unmanly, too. More than
that, it is unwise, in the merest mer-
cenary sense. If there were no flash
ions,n what would become of fall
trade, and Spring trade; what would
become of commerce, and the i'm
porters, and the countless other in
terests involved? OF course there
are eXtravagant women in this world
but they are exceptional, and the
dressmakers and milliners are not
responsible for them.
Perhaps if the truth were known,
the responsibility rests with the sar-
castle newspapers themselves, that
never fail to describe at impertinent
length " the gorgeous toilettes (" at
seaside hops, and winter balls at
home.

OUR FAIR.
.THE LAST DAY
TIE CLOSING SCENES

The fourth annual exhibition Of
the Berkeley County Agricultural
and Mechanical Society closed Fri
day last with fair attendance. A
heavy rain-storm occurred about
noon, which lessened the attendance
and somewhat delayed the exercises.
About three O'Clock the rain gave
way to a sharp, cold wind that made
it anything but comfortable upon the
elevated grounds, nevertheless quite
large number of those in attendance
stayed to see the racing, which was
the best of any yet had at this meet
ing.
The first contest was the free to
all trot, mile heats, best three in
five, for purse of S400. Three start
ers came to the post : J. W. Brad
shaw's &. &. "Gayo:'' II. NJ. and J..
j. Jobe's b. g., Bay Billy" and f..
G.. Kauffman's br. IN. Lady Alice. 7
:. Gayo Z took the lead and was never
headed, although Jobe's horse made
capital race with him. Time,
2:43-3:5. The other two heats were
u repetition Of the first, ''Gayo' win
ming. Time, 2:42f and 2:43. 1t was
a good rac9 from first to last.
The second race was the ''free to
all pace" mile heats, best three in
five, for a purse. of SIS. -Four horses

nual Meeting Of our Agricultural
Society, and taking it all in all it has
been q success.

"CmdlIng,, Shade Trees.

we notice in our various streets, a
number of dead shade-trees, that
ought not to have died, and were ev-
identity killed by 'girdling.' BY this
we do not mean the malicious act of
deliberately hacking the trees, with
the intent to destroy them, but the
equally destructive process of grid
ling them with bricks and flag stones,
which prevented their growth and
left them no alternative but death.
a small tree is planted in the side
walk, and small hole is cut in the
fiag-stone to surround it; the tree
grows, but the hole does not, and
consequently as soon as the tree fills
up the hole the bark begins to press
against the surrounding stone and is
soon entirely cut through.
This is one cause of the deStruc-
ton of our trees as soon as they at
tain a good size, but there is another,
in view of which the wonder is that
they live at all. 1t ought to be gen.
orally known that trees are not air
plants and therefore cannot live
without water-though the SUPPOSE
ton seems TO be that they can, as
great care is taken to keep it from
them. Not only should a large open
space be left in the tlagstones, but a
hole should be cut in the curbstone
opposite each tree, so that when it
rains they can get some moisture
from the gutter.

THE FAIL TRADE.

On this interesting topic We have
the opinions Of two newspapers that
are usually accurate in their judg-
ment Of business affairs. The New
York Bulletin holds that the strictly
mercantile interest has just now some
important advantages that may be
relied upon to offset its misfortune
for the last two years. 1t seems now
to have got through the process of de-
cline in prices by which such heavy
losses have been made during the
last two years. This at least may be
regarded as true of a large majority
of articles. 1t has the advantage of
reduced rents, lower salaries, and a
very exceptionally low rate Of inter-
est. Stocks of goods also are gener-
ally very low, which diminishes the
liability to cutting down prices in
order to provide for payments. So
far az respects these circumstances
merchants are in better position for
realizing fair profit on their trans
actions than they have been for ma
ny seasons past. The Bulletin upon
a survey of the main conditions af-
fecting trade, concludes
1t seems quite likely that, provided
no unforeseen misfortune should oc-
cur, the feeling in trade circles will
improve as the season advances, and
that the trade of the latter half will
be entirely satisfactory. Buyers are
at present universally supplying
themselves with great caution; but,
should it prove, as now appears quite
| likely, that cotton comes to market
early, and that the price of 81 per
bushel for wheat at the Northwest
brings large supplies to market and
high prices for pork similarly affect
| the trade in hog products, we should
in all probability find the later orders
from the West and the South very
| large, causing the season to wind up
with much spirit and improved feel
ing.
The Philadelphia Ledger takes an
equally cheerful view:
The volume of business, as COM
pared with former dates, is generally
higher than the croaking, which
seems to have become chronic, would
lead people to believe who have not
instituted examination as to the fact.
There are numerous failures III vari-
Gus directions, some of which involve
large liabilities, but the more numer-
Gus among them are small, and re-
suit more from gradual exhaustion of
means by the maintenance of a style
of living and other expenses not war
ranted by an inactive business. This
is the natural purging of trade pur-
suits that invariably follows crises,
and is the immediate precursor of a
pristine health. We beliey in an
early Improvement in business.
