Land enough for the purpose of an agricul-
tural exhibition is difficult to get in as large
city as Detroit has come to be. What is
needed here is a permanent exposition OF
the more compacted industries and products
which can all be shown in one building on
reasonable plot of ground. The State
Fair, as an agricultural exhibition, pure and
simple, should be held where there is plenty
of space, and the exposition of arts and
manufactures be separated from it and per-
manenty established in Detroit. Agricul-
tural fairs are, with rare exceptions, no
longer held in large cities. They are i'm
practicable. Free Press.
