THE socleTvs FORMAL REPLY.
The Citizens Committee Seeking Chief
for tho Fair ORGANIZATION.

Yesterday morning tho committee sp-
pointed at the meeting Friday night at
Murphy's Hotel to see Mr.. Ashton Starke
and ascertain if he will serve as president
OF an organization of citizens TO get up
Fair called at that gentieman's place OF
business to perform their duty.
Mr.. Starke was out Of the city and the
committee held conference and decided
that as they had nothing official from the
Executive Committee of the Virginia Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Society as to
whether or not they VIII manage the Fair
it would DO proper first to receive formal
reply from the society.
THE SOCIETY ASKED.
They addressed communication to Mr..
Starko as president of the organization
saving it was the wish of the citizens to
furnish the $4,000 guarantee fund and
have tho society arrange for the exhibit
ton.
Mr.. Starke returned to- the city in the
afternoon and immediately replied to the
communication by sending the committee
a copy of the following preamble and reso-
luton adopted Friday by the Executive
Committee of the society.
IHE socrETY's ACTION.
Whereas the Executive Committee of the
Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety find it impossible for them to under
take the management Of Fair in the CON-
ing fall; and whereas q large number OF
citizens desire that Fair shall be held:.
Rssoired, That If this committee has the
authority TO do So the use of the grounds,
buildings, and machinery will be rendered
TO the said citizens committee for the pur-
pose of holding Fair; said committee TO
appoint their own managers and be re-
sponsible for the government and manage
ment of the said Fair, and for the proper
protection of the property OF this society.
Tho Executive Committee will render any
assistance as individuals that may be IN
their power. and desire to extend 10 the
citizens committee their best wishes for
their success, but in the opinion OF the
Executive Committee the timeis too short
to hold successful FAIR this year.
THE WORK TO BE PRESSED.
After leaving Mr.. Stsrke's the committee
held another meeting and decided to &c
ahead and raise by Monday night the
balance of the guarantee tund.
Tomorrow night the committee appoint
ed at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Hall meeting will have o conference al
Murphy's Hotel, at which MIR. Starke mas
been invited to be present. He Will be
pressed to serve as president OF the ran
organization.
NOT YET DECIDED.
When seen Yesterday by a Dispatch re-
porter Mr.. Starke said as he had not re-
ceived an official request from the commit
tee to serve in this capacity he would not
saw whether or not he would act y
called upon. He had given the subject
little thought and would have to consider
it after being asked to serve.
