victiun that the newspaper press has q
duty to perform IN such matters.
We are aware that The selling Of
liquors that viii change good citizens
into rowdies or fools, and the letting Of
fair grounds for gambling purposes is
heartily detesied by many Of the
managers OF our agricultural societies,
aud that subject is warmly discussed
at directors meetings. aud we hope
the time is not very far distant when
these practices will not be considered,
by a majority, necessary to the 6nan-
cial more than TO the moral, social. or
educational success Of our agricultural
societies.
Aside from these drawbacks. our
visit here has been Of the pleasantest
nature, Many old friends have been
met, and new acquaintance made, but
our time has been so fully occupied IN
the examination Of the entries in the
various departments. that more com.
