The need of a place Of this kind,
where the young men of our city
might pleasurably and prOfitably
spend their hours Of leisure, has long
been felt, and now that the members
Of the Reform Club have taken the
4nitiatory steps in the enterprise, we

THE COUNTY FAIR was never more
success than last week. In all de-
partments the display was large, and
the competition for the premiums
lively. Everything was admirably
managed, and very general satisfac-
ton manifested by exhibitors and
the immense crowd Of people pres
ent. Of live stock, though not so
large as that in this city, the exhi-
bition was of the finest order; of veg
etables, farm products and mechan-
ical wares no better display was ever
made in the county. In the fine art
and household departments there
was more lack than anywhere else.
The gymnastic and acrobatic perfor-
mances Of the Nicols' Brothers prov
ed very attractive feature, fully
justifying the officers of the society
in securing them, Horse-racing
was Of course q prominent feature,
and the spirited contests for the
purses gave very general satisfaction
Fully 5000 persons were on the
grounds Thursday. The receipts
of the fair we hear exceeded $4,000,
which viii cover all expenses and
leave tie society free from all debt
and with balance in the treasury.

Another element of the party wants
Mr.. Watkins placed on the ticket as
an endorsement Of his really good
administration Of the Office for the
past two years. but to this PROPOSE
ton q third element sets up terrific
howl, and demand that JOhn Com
Minis, who came within two votes OF
securing the nomination Of the Demo-
cratic Convention, shall be placed on
the ticket. Thus, whatever course is
pursued, lively row in the Demo-
cratic fold is invitable. Meanwhile
the Republican nominee, Jones, is
daily gaining popularity and extend.

pie. Still his friends should be on
the alert, for their is no telling what
dodge may be tried by che opposition

in accordance with custom, and as
expressive of approval of his course
during his first term, Hon. JonN
GRAY should be renominated. New
ertheless, full convention is desir-
able as the most effective method of
giving expression to that sentiment.
