AGRAND NATIONAL FAIR.--The man
agement are now organizing q grand
National Fair, to take place in the
first half of November, and to follow
hard upon the State Fairs, which
are being held all over the country.
A system of awards will be adopted,
arranged more with regard to high
value than to number. It is pro-
posed that the medals awarded shall
represent the highest character which
can possibly be given to manufac-
tured goods. In this Fair our whole
people should be interested, and, if
possible, lend their attendance. The
vast machinery set in motion by
the late Centennial has been util-
lied for the present international
Exhibition, and, by adding, improv-
ing, and modifying where necessary,
it has now come to be entirely worthy
of the new departure our nation
took on entering the second century
of its existence. The spread feast is
now ready for and entirely worthy
of it's cordially-invited guests.
