 Conductor Frank Hermance and John Mccarthy are very justly awarded great praise for their management of the fair and the untiring energy and level-headed- l ness they have exercised throughout in the case from the start It required no little l ''sand" and nerve to take and carry the load of an enterprise like this. For three months before the fair opened great work | was done in securing pledges of exhibits and bringing the facts before business men l in the right light to secure their CO opera tion. It was new undertaking, an un- l tried experiment, and men had to be con- x;n hot ho fhinrr xurr11H ha O ar1oo | before they would venture into it. Hardly was the fair opened when it's success | was assured and then everything was | smooth sailing. The fair receipts | are not all profit by any means, despite the immense attendance. To secure the exhibits, those from out of town especially, the fair managers had to guarantee thall all the cost of transporting the exhibits to the fair and back home again would be free to the exhibitors This had to be done, the undertaking being an l experimental one. Its fine success is very gratifying to all. Much praise is awarded also to the efficient president of the Con- ductors' association, Mr. Kenyon, whose efforts materially contributed to the suc- cess of the occasion.
 There were over 1,500 season tickets sold at half dollar apiece, each having six coupons, good for admission to the fair or for voting. The expenses of the l fair management included the cost of the l multitude of prizes offered, which was a large item. Manager Hermance said last evening that although the exact profit of the fair could not of course be given yet, it would exceed 5000. A pleasing incl dent of the fair was the presentation to Manager Hermance of magnificent bou- quet of American beauty roses and to Mir. Mccarthy one of La France roses, tributes from Florist Dickerman, in honor of thei1 courtesy to all, and made by his assistant, Stephen Moore. They were greatly admired. MT. Diokerman's s
 two flower booths, one so admirably pre- l sided over by Miss Daisy Dickerman, were | a fine addition to the fair, and @ great cage of marmosets or wee little Brazilian monkeys, which excited wonderment from all. MT. Dickerman late last night began on an order just arrived for the floral decora' tions for Nicely & Co.'s grand fall opening to-day.
