Our State Fair.

One OF our leading wholesale clothiers
yesterday said that they had every reason
to expect an unusually large gathering in
our city in October. and that the pro-
grammc mapped out by the Executive
Committee Of the Agricultural Society
would prove to be the most attractive one
Of their existence. The military feature Of
competitive drills on day to he hereafter
designated was 10 his reasoning alone a big
card. 4 wholesale druggist said he was
sanguine OF the success of the Fair.
4 prominent groccryman stated that whilst
he.apprOved Of what is being done for the
Agricultural Society. he did not think any
movement would succeed unless we had a
programme to keep visitors entertained,
and so prOlong their stay in our midst. 4
leading coal merchant offered a good sug-
gcstion which is ractcable-namely, on
the Monday prior TO the opening OF the
Fair we should have a boat-rdce between
the various clubs of our State, and that in
connection with this il would be an easy
matter TO get MeSSrS. IIanlan and Ken
nedy-the noted oarsmcn- now in wash
ingtOn practicing ior their coming race
in the early part Of October, to visit our
city and enter for n friendly contest. The
two efforts on this one day would unques-
tionably he card and Send-of 10 the Fair.
4 leading retail clothing firm on Main
street was asked their opinion. They
briefly answered that there was no ques-
tion OF the two bodies working harmO-
niOusly together, but to separate the one
from the other would be fatal 10 both. The
retail trade was q large portion OF con-
tributorS, and they would give checrfully
ii a diversified programme could be ar
ranged. They also stated that the prOpO-
sitIOn OF the Dispatch TO lay the corner
stone OF the Lee monument on the Tues
day preceding Fair-day would harmoniZc
nicely with the military feature, as the citi-
Zen-sOldiers would visit our city i'm large
numbers-first to assist in LAYING the
cornerstone OF the monument. and
the subsequent day or days TO participate
i'm the competitive drills. His ideas about
sufficient sums being collected TO deiray
the proposed expense was that there ought
to be no trouble on this score, aS it only
requires $4,000 TO meet every Obligation,
and a., without much effort, one fourth
was raised last year for a One-day's pa-
gcant, the Otherthree fOurths ought to be
easily gotten. especially when every one
feels an interest in making Richmond a
trading centre. So far il will be seen no
one has been met who has opposed OF
spoken against the project.
The following additional sums were re-
ported subscribed to Secretary Cans 10y
some OF the committees out on Yesterday,
all of which shows gratifying results:

FOx-lIunfing.

In the Dispatch Of Yesterday morning is IN
article on foX-hunting which calls for
reply on my part to yiudicate myself from
the charge OF cruelty 10 animals. The
writer OF that article is a good fellow,
know: but fear he is green, and may by
his greenneSS involve my neck i'm that
court OF inquiry which must OF necessity
try me for cruelty To animals. Had that
writer lived i'm the country, and known the
iour-legged fox aS well as | am sure he
knows the two-lcggcd fox, he no doubt
would not have been so severe on me for
" going for" the foxes.
Let me tell of some OF the torriblenesScs
OF foxes, which a cOuntryman understands
and knows TO III, sorrOwful losses. The
fox. aS we country people know him, eats
and destroys every wild bird, the buZZlrd
excepted, he can creep on, or rabbit or
squirrel be can chase down, and he is so
sly and cunning that he is sure OF his prey.
SO far is birds, Nc., are concerned, and so
active and fleet that rabbits &C., stand no
chance OF making their escape. Besides his
dcstr1ctiyenc>s 10 game OF all kinds, he
plays havoc with our domestic fowls
Chickens. turkeys. ducks, geese, &C., -
also pigs and hmbS-and he has an
epicurean taste and appetite for,
and l. never more pleased than
when he can throw a fine turkey or
goose on his back and bear it to some
distant thicket where the elite foxes are by
invitation assembled 10 have a grand feast
on FoX-day. Now, with the reasons given
above, and there are many more not given,
why the foxes OF all sorts should BE- put
out OF the way, was il not humane in me TO
get up hunt in which large number OF
friends should engage so as To enjoy the
sport whilst ridding the country OF these
four-legged nuisanccS? ! am like the boy
and the snakc,--I kills foxes and snakes
whenever | sees um. G.. W.
