Interest in the approaching third animal
fair of the Cecil County Agricultural Society
appears upon Il hasty canvass, to be pretty
general throughout the county aud adjacent
portions OF neishiorirg States, and there is
no reason in the world why this meeting
should not entirely eclipse all former ones,
in every department. We iirmiy believe II
will. Everything points directly TO such Il
result and unless ali signs fail such VIII be
the outcome. To render The far Il success
beyond ANYTHING ever seen here before, ali
that is necessary is the hearty cooperation
of every citiZen-grett and slnaii-ot tins
section of country. Everybody may do some
thing to help on towards this happy result
and while adding Ia the success OF the eNhl-
bition may also help themselves
To each exhibitor a season ticket is given,
while fee of fifty cents for ladies and one
dollar for gentlemen only is charged for en-
tering their exhibits, be they one or many.
We are told that Il 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 hut once
by each exhibitor no nIaSter how many arti-
cles they may enter. There is an abundance
OF farm produce i'll this section this wear
from which Il mammoth exhibition may be
made up, and in the line of mechanics the
times never We're more faNuratle. W 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 to witness
a fine show of fruitS both natural and pre-
served, rs the supply from which TO 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 upon the
grounds getting things into shape so that
when the time for exhibits to arrive comes
all will I've in readiness, and the too trequent
" occurring confusion upon such occasions
will be avoided.
Workmen are now engaged upon the new
buildings to be erected; i'll fact, some OF
them are already completed, and the large
pavilion, I0x2l0 feet i'll dimensions, is well
under way, under the direction of Mr.. Jas.
p Merritt, contractor. Professional gen
tlemeu are giving the fences and buildings
their annual coat OF white or rather blue
wash, aud 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 " i'll all be completed before fair
time aud much confusion and veNation
avoided We would suggest to any one in
ciiued to enter one or more exhibits and de-
string information of any character in con-
nection 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.
