OF the new fair association, and why the
committee have not been called 10 meet and
further consider and consummate the pro-
posed consolidation, | am unable to state
| have not learned that there is any dispo
sition on our part to ''outgencrar' any one
So far as our association is concerned,
would say that we have fixed the tine fol
holding a fair, hut have not done anything
! TO prevent the others from holding a fair |
they choose TO do so am free to admi
farmers, and the agricultural interests of on
community, if We could have but one agri
i cultural society in Sedgwick county. So IA
Is can learn from the members Of the new
association, there is but one opinion, an,
that is: we ought 10 hsye but one agricul
tural society in Sedg wick county, and cnf
one. Respectfully,
