1tSttiuds Was luc Sstld Ods tL tilt
grounds. Nearly all Of our most prominent
citizens, officers from Fort Leavenworth and
distinguished visitors from abroad We're out
to see the races and whatever else they might
find of interest. The various departments
in machinery and in the art hall were Wis
tied by many who cared not to see the races
and much Of the interest was
found, In every place on the
grounds The Horticultural department
was as before the chief point of attraction
and hundreds of strangers who had only
heard of the wonders of Kansas products,
looked, while passing the large hail, on sam
pies of some Of the finest specimens ever ex-
hibited in any part OF the habitable globe.
This much is said, not in a boastfal
manner, but as a matter Of just
pride to our state, which at the Cen
tennial carried away the hOnors. As an Illus
tration, Mr.. James Trenert one of the most
prominent fruit growers of Kentucky, had on
exhibition yesterday four varieties of apples
grown near Quincy and sent here to compete
with our fruit.
The comparison was so great in favor OF the
Kansas productions that many visitors want
ed to purchase specimens from the Kentucky
lot to take home with them and show to their
friends. II is the intention Of the Society 10
arrange forty varieties OF the same nomen-
clature raised In Kansas and send back To Mr..
Trenert to show him that no idle boast is be-
ing made OF the fruit growing qualities Of this
part of the world.

As already announced the Woodawn Farm
cr's Club, composed principally Of the farmers
residing 10 the southeastern portion OF Fairfax
county, propose holding y fair in this city next
fall. Several unsuccessful attempts 10 hold
fairs similar to the one proposed 10 this city
have heretofore been made, but We hope the
present effort will concentrate all the energies
previously exertcd in the same direction, and
that the nucleus Of the Woodlawn Farmer s
Club fair may by those efforts be developed
into an agricultural fair and cattle show Of cx-
tensive proportions, in which will be represent
ed the products Of all this section Of the State,
and that will be attractive enough TO induce vsl-
tors not only from the Immediate neighborhood,
but from all parts oil the country. Alexandria
is the market town of large and rich portions Of
two States, and if the several county fairs were
combined and held here the result would be a
large and magnificent exhibition, the beneficial
effects of which would be experienced ia every
portion Of country represented. We arc sure
that Alexandria will cheelfulIy perform the
part that may be assigned her in securing ST
desirable 40 object.

1t is rumored that tho President and Secrc.
tary Sherman differ so much in their ideas re-
speeding the money question that tho lattcr's
resignation may be expected. The President
and the Secretary may differ on tho money or
any other question, but we hardly think any,
body really expects the Secretary to resign on
account Of such difference, or for any reason
that would induce proper sort of man to re-
sligo. Mr.. Sherman is in the Cabinet, and he
is going to remain there until he is kicked out,
or until he has secured another office. lie is
not of the resigniug kind, and before he would
relinquish bis place he would consent to any
change the President might desire in monetary
affairs, except one that would require him to
give up the extraordinary large amount OF
money he has used his official position to ac
ouire.
