W'nter Fdtr-DEAR SIR: l would like TO call
your attention to something of great interest
that could be put into our Midwnter Fair
al no expense except for space. so far it has
not been suggested. This State and coast

can furnish you with thousand specimens
from the bands of the taXdermist. We can
snow the world what our soil produces. Why
can we not show what our forests and streams
produce? Very truly yours,
p. J. TORMEY,
President SpinOSa Sporting Clnb.
The suhject-ma tier may be considered of
no importance by the powers that be, but
II is certainly well known to all those who,
ike the writer, have made a study of the
question that the infinite variety of fish in
our streams and of game in our forests
would be an attraction second to none to
multltudes OF our friends from the East.
Is II too late To hope that something may
yet be done to establish an exhibit such as
MIR. TOrmey has limited at. or is this Mid
winter Fair to be destitute OF anything to
draw all lovers of sport?
