NAV continue, the general expression
he,ne in favor OF three days at Least and

was agreed thre be 200 silver medals
awarded also.
l. The question OF the building was
taken up and the correspondence OF the
n architect and builders, wherein the
!, employment of more masons Is urged,
was read and discussed. AS the con-
II tractors expressed an assurance that
al the work will be completed according
AZ to contract and have given boz d
therefor, 20 further action was deemed
necessary. However, the members
OF present made an informal arrangement
q that they would meet at the bulloin
ut the fair date to consult in regard TO the
d progress of the work. ..
IN The meeting was adjourned untl
Wednesday next att pm.
!, Below is given a complete list OF all
=; the special premiums so far offered
.. The presumption is that in the main
- persons will not themselves compete TO-
- the premiums they have offered. Very
~ ~ frequently this would have the effect o
NJ lettering others from contesting. Till
~ is particularly liable to be the case II
stock exhibits. In this, however, VI
sr- speak without advice of or consulta
ed ton with the board. Certain 1t is tina
10. such ruling will increase the numbe
IS of entries. and it can only deter tn
Ter thoroughly selfish from contributing
to 1t should be a matter of patriotism tt
to make the fair success, and not tint
hope that a man may win his owl
- prize back that prompts him to otter
IL premium to be competed for.
III ~. 1t is to be hoped in q matter OF TIL
IN kind. in which the whole Territory
'SG interested, that the offering OF specie
ue premiums will not be confined to Sal
~ ~ Lake County. OF course this city VII
ca. reap the indirect harvest, but las NJ
ny guarantee that it will get any OF tn
'en special premiums so far offered, exceI
one. and as the greater portion of tn
ted prizes is as likely to 60 out OF TIL
an. county as to remain in it, justice woul
nd. suggest that some of the other countie
nto might come to the front with fe'
me speciaI premiums. At any rate the
of NAV rest assured that no offence WI
md be taken at bona fide tender, be
de- what it may.
;et. There has never been a fair that ha
lin been so warmly received as the forth
coming one. All classes OF either
or. seem disposed to help it along, and Nj
81. Wells, the secretary, states that ne
~ in daily receipt of assurances OF al

%. ljcited for assistance, and who probaol
auy would not have been thought of.
20, II is also understood that the RAJ
- roads will contribute in every reason
To- able way toward the success of the fan
~ Half rates will undoubtedly be give
WIG from all local points, and better "a
NAV be looked for as to more dlsta
lgh- localities. Moreover, q full rate Will

ter he carried back free. 1t is possible u
lrge roads will do better even than this.
