Secretary Barnard stated tonight tn 4
the attendance at the faiS to.dry Wis moi
less than $4,000 and it was the lsrgvs
crowd present for years.
In many respects the exhibition is well
managed, but one thing lacking 10 iht

not allowed in the judges stand, n 81

in the stand in question to obtain an
necessary information regarding race,
they are refused or told to not bother
anybody or get out. When IL is CON.
sidered that the Wilmington wspaperc,
and is journal In particular, have aided
the SITE fair management in mora ways
than one, the latter's aotit-s are not to be
commended. A little moro iiberality On
tho part of the officers would even IN

Three suspected pickpookets re

in vain and the officer, who had to do his
