THE STATE FAIR-VIEws OF COLONEL
kNiGHT.-Colonel W. G. knight, president
Of the State Agricultural Society, says in re-
lation to the Fair: "The Executive Commit.
tee OF the Society have no disposition to suS.
pend, or even intermit. the airs. as long as
they have the moral and material support of
the people. The resolution adopted Ut the last
meeting Of the commit ee locking to the non.
holding Of Fair the present year was based
principally On two conSiderations-trst, that
the Centennial exhibition at Philadelpha
would absorb general attention and over
shadow. for the time, all State Fairs nearly
contiguous 10 that point: and secondly. that
our State Society could not afford to hold :.
Fair which, for the reason stated, might
prove to be great pecuniary loss. This is q
question which deserves consideration. and
the Executive Committee are not disposed 10
involve the Society in the heavy loss which
would result from Fair without adequate
support. Some Of the committee. and
among them, thought that these were rea.
sons why we (and By this ] mean not SO
much the officers Of the Society as the peo
PIE of Richmond and the State) should en'
deayor to have a better Fair this fall than
ever before, and among these reasons is the
one that the State, having failed to make ar.
rangements for its representation at the
Centennial, the State Society should offer to
the world at the close of the Centennial q
grand display of our resources, aud thus
show that, though abscntf from Philadelphia,
we are equal to the best who may unite in
that display.

REIIG16rs.-The revival at Trinity church
during the past week was one Of great suc-
cess. There has not been for years such an
outpouring of the people as nightly crowd
the church to ovcrAowing, hundreds being
unable to gain adnlittance. Last night the
church was filled an hour before the time for
service. There is no doubt that the great
religious tidal wave of revival set in motion
by the missionaries Of the cross in Ihlade-
phia has reached our shores, and is now
arousing our people. Dr.. Biedsoe has
preached nightly to the most deeply interest
ed hearers, who are anxious on the subject
of religion. Last night Bishop Doggett,
Rev. Fl. C. Cheatbam, and Rev. c. ".
Petherbridge were present, and assisted in
conducting the exercises. During this series
of meetings one hundred and two persons
have already professed conversion.
The services tomorrow will be the con.
tlnuance of the revival meeting. a large
number will join the church at II o'clock, at
which time the ordinance of baptism will be
administered. A general prayer.meeting for
the spread OF the revival influence will be
held at 2o'clock.
