R1cKvILLR FAIR.
The CloslnQ Day,

Yesterday was Il Q third and closing day OF the
annual exhibition Of the Montgomery County Ag-
rieultursi Sceisty, at Rockville, Md. The st.
tendance was small in comparison to the number
OF visitors that have attended at the previous
fairs, and in this respect the exhibition caunot
be called q Success. The exhibitors we're as nu-
merous as heretofore, and the stock and wares as
tne ever presented for inspection; still, for
some unknown reason, the society has not been as
prosperous this as in preceding years The same
interest In the success Of the fair has not been
manifested as formerly and to this cause may be
attributed q part Of the failure. In accordance
with custom, the premiums were awarded to the
deserving yesterday afternoon. The heavys showers
OF rain In the afternoon interrupted the pleasures
to q considerable extent, and caused many persons
to leave the grounds sooner than they anticipated
and sadly msrred the contemplated sports Of the
evening.
The trials of speed took place, bat the track
was heavy and unfit for use. In the morning was
the frst race, open to all competitors. For the
fastest stallion, mare or geldirg, trotting In har

There is lively interest, together with Q

A YaIusbls Publication.

Wilson, Hinkle Co., of Cincinnati, have just
issued a work on the higher Mathematics by
Prof ]. G. CLARK, A. NJ, that is much In advance
of ordinary textbook on that branch. The sub
jects of the dferential and integral calculus are
here treated in a most mastery manner. 1t is
based on truly philosophical principles, and in
wolves no apparent absurdities, as many others
do. The theory CT limits is plainly, clearly and
concisely set forth and shown TO be the only cor
rect theory on which TO base the calculus 1t is
condensed and exhaustive 1t is possible to make
a textbook on this difficult branch of the tran
scendentaI mathematics. Prof CLARK was for
merly professor of mathematics in CoIumbi
University, District OF Colum bia, and is now in
William Jewell College, Missouri. He deserves
the gratitude of lovers of mathematics for this
his first, able production, by which he has shown
himself to be q mathemS tican OF the highest
order. We are confident this work will soon sup
plant many now in use in our csiieges.
