A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

The Wilmington Fair has been a glow
ing in many respects, and hereafter viii
take rank with the best fairs Of the Mid
die states The association will no doubt
come out Of this year effort with com
Portable surplus in its treasury. The
races, helped by large entries Of good
horses, and BY the excellent management
Of starting judge @. II. Smith,
have been interesting and more
or less exciting every day this
week. Much Of the success Of the
fair in general is due to the propitious
weather The exhibits of horse, cattle
and other live stock have never been ex.
celled in this section of the country. The
SHOW Of dogs, chickens and pigeons were
large and of an interesting character.
The floral exhibit was good, though none
Of the plants shown were particularly
rare. The roses and other species were the
best part Of the cut flowers exhibit. The art
exhibit was large, aud for the work of
amateurs, Of q fair character The in
dustrial and mercantile exhibits in the
main building were creditable to the en-.
terprise of those who exhibited. OF the
displays that can be noted as being
sparse In size and quality, that Of fruit
was the most noticeable. This can be ex.
cused on account Of the failure Of The
fruit crop generally. Few or no vegeta.
bles and cereals were shown and the
household and culinary displays were
meagre compared with the list Of prem
iums offered
The management is to be congratulated
for the good order which prevailed
throughout the week, credit for which
belongs largely to the Wilmington police
force. Considering its facilities, the
Wilmington 4 Northern Railroad Com.
pany deserve credit for its handling Of
the crowds that used its trains to and
from the grounds. There are a few
improvements which will pro
probably be made before another year.
They will occur to the managers. On,
Of the most important is increased ac-
commodations and favors for representa-
tives Of the press, on whom much Of tn,

The evil Of taking proper authority
from the City Council on the theory that
its members are not faithful and compe-
tent is illustrated By the mooted question
Of the control Of the streets. The Solicitors
opinion is that the city may control the
speed Of its own wagon but that wagons
which do not belong to the city can be
controlled only by their owners and BY
the Street and Sewer Commissioner
These commissioners have absolute con
troll Of the streets from house line TO
house line and their decisions are final.
There is no more likelihood that three
men under the name Of Street and
Sewer Commissioners will be more
scrupulous and will perform the duties
required by the city more faithfully than
three good men under any other
name. It is wrong in principle to
relieve the members Of the Council Of
the duties which properly belong to them
and which they were elected by tine PEG
pie to perform. The streets and
sewers belong to the people and
they should be under the control
Of. Representatives chosen directly from
the people. If the people make mistake:
they can elect new servants, if the
officers make mistakes they can be hello
responsible by the people Now tn,
powers Of the commissioners are auto
cratic, underlined, universal and final
Such commission is opposed to tn
genius Of democratic form Of govern
ment.
