The Military at the Fair.

Editors OF the Dispatch:
Gentlemen,-I copy the following from
Monday mornings Dispatch:
"The regular quarterly meeting Of the
Executive Committee OF the Virginia State
Agricultural Society was held in the ball
room at the Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs at II O'Clock Friday" .,
.,'"The committee then considered the pro-
position OF Colonel Bassett French Of in
Yiting the different military companies OF
Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina to
q prze-drill in aid of the Lee-Monument
fund, in which the premium would amount
to $1,000, to be taken from the gate.fees,
and for him to have a portion OF the gros,
receipts OF the gate-fees. -
,"The scheme was opposed by several
members OF the committee. They were in
favor OF the visiting military, but thought
that the Virginia State Agricultural Associ-
alton ought to have the benefit.
CDR. Moore offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted: 80, :.
"ReSolued, That the Executive Commit
tee, after due consideration Of the propo-
sition submitted by Colonel French, the
secretary Of the Lee-Monument Associa-
ton, deem it inexpedient to accede to said
proposition" ..... .-. - +
Hampered as the proposition was, [ heart
lily concur in the action Of the Executive
Committee in its refusal to adopt it. II the
Virginia State Agricultural Association will
put up a prize, let 1t by all means reap the
full benefit OF the gate-fees. ,,s..
[ hope it is not too late for the committee
to reconsider its action and adopt some plan
which will prove Of benefit alike to the mill
tary and to the Fair. The various compa-
nies in the State are anXiously looking for
ward to something OF this kind. 1t would
give them an opportunity to perfect their
organizations by continued practice in drill,
il would enable them to recruit rapidly, 1t
would place handsome fund in the trea-
sury of the successful company, and,
more than anything else, it would greatly
develop the military system OF the State
and increase the interest OF all classes
in military organizations. There: are so
many ways in which it would directly benc-
tit the Fair (and which, upon consideration,
must occur TO the committee) That deem 1t
unnecessary to mention them. ., G..
We may feel certain that IL it did not pay
the North.Georga Fair would not offer
$1,000 in prizes, or the st. Louis Far
S., 900. Whenever we have had military
contests the crowd on the Fair Grounds has
been immense, and the additional amount
realized from gate-fees under such clrcQm-
stances must have been considerable. Now
is the time, therefore, for the Association
to give US turn.
The handsome prize so generously given
by the Dispatch in 1871 increased to won
deful extent military enthusiasm all through
the State, and the effect is still felt.
hope the Executive Committee Will put
up prize worth working for-lmitate the
Georgia Fair.
Let something be done quickly, that We
NAV commence drilling ut once.
ONE OF THE MILITARY.
