there seems really to be some promise of
definite action. Talking With one of the
leading spirits we found him enthusiastic
over the m Utter. Nearly sil of the sum re-
quired has been secured 100000. and if
the present move crystslizes work will COM
mence early in the spring. The proposed
plan is to build a mile track between Water
vile and Fairfield and equip it thoroughly
for holding agricultural and mechanical ex-
hibitions. This much gained, the next step
would be TO enter at once into
competition with other societies and IT
possible. hold better fair than

strong ones and will have force. They are,
