The Coming Falr.-The face Of all Ballimoro
county ia Get Timoniumward. The drifting strAws
All show wind blowing strongly In that diree.
ton, and II the manager Of our annual fair do not
take heed TO the widespread enthusiasm with
which this event IL regarded In the county, they
DO not appreciate the advantages which come from
the general support given q popular Institution.
Prevailing sentiment demands . week every year
AZ Timonium which shall please all tastes which
shall furnish information and solid satisfaction 10
tnoso who seek improvement; amusement 10 those
whose main aim Il entertainment; and combined
instruction and holiday making for those who
wisely wish 10 mingle the two. The weak point
OF the management seems 70 be that Il does not
strike out for new attractions and that Il fails TO
give wide enough and extensive publicity TO those
which do exist. "Many mon Of many minds."-
what suits one class will not please another, and
new and almost Kaleidoscope programme should
Be arranged every year. Tho officers should, -
they may, depend upon the general, the weil.nigh
universal sympathy which meets the society and
enlarge lie operations until all dispositions are
suited.
Il seems incontrovertible that at the coming fair
In the live stock stalls and pens there will be dis
played animals In variety and value such as few
y any single county In tho Union can match
The household department, for tasteful and mer-
itorious specimens Of the handiwork Of our women,
isunrivaled. Theout of.door exercises are numer-
Gus aud diverse. The orator OF the year Is pub.
lie man whose speeches are renowned over the
continent. This Is all as Il should be. But there
should also be still greater variety. No manufac-
turing establishment but should leave specimens
OF is products On display. Noindustrial interest
Of the county but should be represented. A spa
eious pavilion should give opportunity for daily
mee,ings Of the farmers and discussions Of crops,
implements and processes. Instead Of one orator
there should DO three or four practical addresses
each day from mon whom the farmers would like
to hear. Instead Of one or two blowing matches,
opportunity should be afforded FOR the practical
testing Of every machine Of any Importance shown
on the grounds. Then the events on the track are
too conventional. There Is place for the pacing
horse none for the walking horsc-the latter en-
phatically nm agricultural dcsderatum. Then We
might see sometimes besides some more noted
pieces Of horse-hesh. One good purse would bring
no risk, but Il would probably bring some more
which once In . while Il IL probable our people
w9nid be glad TO see.
But this may all come with years. The features
Of this years fair are good. II remains for our
people 10 make u success by their united efforts,
by their countcnance and active aid. Let each
one contribute Of his best and there will be n show
Of animals. Of farm products, Of household goods,
Of lovely women and stalwart men such as few
counties eau boas, to compare with ours.
