When it gets to be common to lug per-

The fair elections oughtto be remodel

govern them. $40
The scramble for ~''ofice" has even
got into the Agricultural Society. Let

The display of fruit was much better
than the season seemed capable of pro-

The Scott law didn't prohibit a good
display of gooseberry, currant, grape,
and other wines.

1t is in bad taste for a candidate for
President Or Vice President of the Agri-
cultural Society to electioneer for himself.
The gentlemen who were 'left'' out q
the Agricultural election and helped to
get up the 32d show, can fpoint with
pride" to it.
The ladies deserve a unanimous vote
of thanks for their splendid display il
Floral Hall. God bless 'em! We give
it.
There was a time when it was a diff
cult matter to get men OF the Agricultu
raj Board. It was when the Society was
2 in debt. Now the places are fought TO,
as vehemently as if there were "million:
in it," There is money in its treasur!
now.
The races were the great attraction o
the fair, and the gentlemen who had tn
arranging. OF them deserve much credi
for the satisfaction they gave to tn
horsemen. The scene from the Judge
new stand ON Thursday and Friday wa
pleasing to all interested. The ampithe
