WILMINGTON TOWN FAIR.


Last Tuesday morning, though somewhat
cloudy, was not unpropitious enough TO
prevent a large crowd OF people from col
lee ting about the village and fair grounds
10 celebrate the Goth annual Fair OF the
town and make II one of its best displays.
At 10 NJ, it was said there were more peo-
pie here than had ever convened here be-
fore, and the show was unusually good.
But very soon the rain commenced 10 pour
down and continued throughout the after-
noon, spelling the fun, crow1ing the hall
and other places, dispensing many of the
exhibitors and numerous persons who had
come TO see and be seen by those who only
meet at these annual festivals. 1t was with
difficulty that the premiums could he
awarded at all, especially upon the things
which were inside of Floral hall, as it was
so full OF those who had gathered to escape
the rain as TO make it impossible to COM
pare articles in suitable manner; and the
committees ask to be pardoned II they have
made some mistakes, and len things I'M
noticed which wore worthy OF remark.
