Talk About an Exposition in BaltlmoI

Talk About an Exposition In Baltimore.
lion. EzFa Whitman, of the MaryiaHd Farnsr,
contributes an article the propositions to hold
an exposition In Baltimore city this year. In the
coarse Of thu article, Mr.. Whitman says There
are several facts and circumstances that point TO
Baltimore as the most favorable city In which 10
hold great exposition this year. The State Ag.
ricutural Society will hold fair this autumn, and
IL, beyond doubt, willprovea success and attract
n large crowd Of people. The Maryland Jockey
Club as usual, will have their fall meeting. which
never fails 10 draw immense crowds and many
strangers from distance 20 enjoy the splendid
sport at Pimlico. The American Agricultural Az
sOciation, with its 1000 members, being distin-
guished agriculturists from every state In the
Union, have determined 10 hold national exhi-
bition In whichever city proiers the best advan-
tages. and that place is 90 bc fixed upon this
month, u being well understood that the officers
and members Of that association prefer Baltimore
to any other location, u proper Inducements are
held out. Besides, the Cotton Growers Assoeia-
tion are knocking at your doors for admission.-
Among all these organizations, with our own many
industrial association surely there must be enter
prise enough 20 concentrate and. with liberal aid
by the people Of baltimore, get up splendid ex.
hibuon. IL all the arrangements cannot bo pre-
fected this year, let US commence the buildings,
and We can at least do enough 90 have good ex-
hibition and next year, when the whole work in
its entirety will have been finished, the cotton
growers will come with all the Southern products,
TO inaugurate the second exposition Of baltimore.
Thus We would be fortunate in having In two sue.
cessiye years great national cxpositions. aud the
enterprise placed upon n fair footing. as well as
proving n profitable investment TO stockholders,
and resulting IN an annual enlargement Of the
trade Of the city. II this scheme be carried out
properly, IL will ultimately be Of as much value
and Importance 10 Baltimore as was the Centennial
10 Philadelphia the cotton exhibitions % Allan.

hundred dollars, or much as necessary. In writ

the city. At the same time Issue invitations under
proper beading, requesting the public 20 attend
n mass meeting to be held at the Maryland Insti-
tue or some other proper place, to ascertain truly
the sentiment Of the people for or against such
exhibition, aud the extent Of the means that could
be provided 10 further the project. Let something
be soon definitely decided. II seems 60 mo that

movement that will he likely to accomplish the
important end in view Of holding ino exhibition
