Reasons for the Movement.
The reasons which decided the Execu-
tive Committee Of the Agricultural So
ciety in undertaking a ten-days EXPOSE
ton are. in part. as follows:
That IL believes the importance or
the city OF Richmond demands and Will
sustain something better than an ordinary
four-days' fair: il also believes the So
cietys interests much safer In holding
short exposition than an ordinary fair,
as there Is less liability Of serious in
convenience ana Joss Dy ltdSOi VI baU
weather; that better exhibits OF every
class can be secured: lower railroad rates
can be obtained. and 1t gives much bet
fer chances OF securing street car transit
W Broad street TO the grounds. Better
attractions can also be secured, TO draw
and entertain visitors from all parts, and
the increased amount from the sale or
refreshment and amusement privileges OF
the grounds will enable the society to
properly advertise and conduct the pre-
liminary operations Of the exposition.
