1t will be unnecessary to advise the exec
utive committee that hereafter it will be
found best to stick to the programme aud
make no postponement one day in advance
on account of weather. 1t was an error of
judgment in a matter in which they really
had hundred times as much at stake as
those who complain, and it looks a little
nnkind to be throwing blame on them now.
Since writing our first report we learn
that the attendance on the second day of
the fair was good. Everything passed off
we'll, and all went home feeling better.
