Interest in the approaching third annual
lair of the Cecil County A Agricultural Society
appears, upon hasty CANVASS, to he pretty
general throughout the county and adjacent
portions OF neishhorir9 States, and there Is
10 reason in the world why this meeting
should not entirely eclipse all former ones,
in every department. We firmly believe II
viii. Everything points directly To strh Il
result and unless ali signs fali such VIII DC
the outcome. To render he tar Il success
beyond ANYTHING ever >"eu here before, All
that is necessary Is the hearty cooperation
OF every citiZen-great and smail-"f TINS
section of country. Everybody may do some
thing to he y on towards this happy r&Sh.t
aud while adding to the success Of the eNhi-
bition may also help themselves
To each exhibitor 4 season ticket Is gwen,
while fee of fifty cents for ladies and one
dollar Tor gentlemen onl y is charged for en-
terng their exhibits, be they one or many.
We are told that great many persons have
the erroneous idea that an entrance fee is
charged upon each exhibit. This Is not the
case. The fee is required to be paid but once
by each exhibitor no master how many artl-
Giles thev NAV enter. There is an abundance
of farm produce i'll this section this year
from which Il mammoth exhibition may be
made up, and in the line OF mechanics the
times never We're more favorable. OF blood
ed stock the promise never was SO great and
the show in this line will far outstrip the
two former fairs of this association.
Visitors may confidently expect 10 witness
a tine show of fruits both natural and pre-
served, Us the supply from which 70 draw Is
this season practically ineNhaustlble, and so
it is, in fact, in all, the departments.
For this reason we feel confident OF
the success OF the exhibition. The various
committees are hard at work unon the
grounds getting things into shape so that
when the time for exhibits to arrive comes
all viii I've in readiness, and the too frequent
" occurring confusion upon such occasions
will be avoided.
Wnrkmen are now engaged upon the new
buildings to be erected; i'll fact, some OF
them are already completed, and the large
pavilion, 49X2l0 feet in dimensions, Is well
under way, under the direction of Mr. JAS.
p. Merritt contractor. Professional gem
tlemen are giving the fences aud buildings
their annual coat of white or rather blue
wash, and many little additions are being
made here and there upon the grounds TO
add to their convenience and attraction
We are pleased to note the energy and
promptness exhibited this season upon the
part of those having charge of the prepara-
tory work. 1t argues well for the outcome
of the thing, and besides by an early start
the work will all be completed before fair
time and much confusion and veNation
avoided We would suggest to any one in
ciined to enter one or more exhibits and de-
string information of any character in con-
uection Herewith, to call upon Mr.. y. w.
Mitchell, at his place of business in this
town, and all desired information and aid
will be cheerfully impaired
