lmporatrt event in The history of 10th
the Frederick and Washington County
Agricultural SOci-tIes; N,e which ID
expected To entirely rjuvenate mat
tens As they staud t-iAy aud prove
never ending benefit TO both associs-
tiOms, socially and financially. The
talked things over from an anpr iu-
diced standpoint, and resolved to for
ever bury the hstchet Of bitter rivalry
aud meet hereafter upon the mutual
grounds dsoffriend>bip. Asn veil known
t. our readers, for number OF yezrs
past, the Agricultural Fairs of both
COUNTIES have been in progress upon
the same conflicting dates, thus de-
priving one another Of Il large amount
OF business, which naturally would di-
vest itself bit Seen the two, under IA
vOrable conditions. Then, too, persons
in butl COUNTIES have been compelled
to forego the pleasure Of seeing the two
fairs, on account Of local pr;de and ell
willingness 10 pitrOuiZe foreign ex-
hibition to the eX fusion uf their own.
Frederick originally set up n the sec
ond week Of October ia each year, as
the time for holding her annual exhib-
ton, aud-juSt for what reas ,u we
have, as YET. been unxhl- To- Iiscnver-
HagerstoSu took it into her head t.
run in on the above date, end hold
treir fair in direct npls-iti"n to ours
they Set the pace, aud we have every
rrason tpthiuk thatour foot print- have
not been 80 very far in the rear How
ever, ie that 49, it may, the entire mat
t-r has b -en adjust II t. The satisfaction
of bptI associations. aud the two fairs
III the future, will I've conducted on the
brpth-rly, Cooperative, hrlp-as-hrlI-
can plan. There viii be no conflict
aud consequently no balance on the
wrong side OF the ledger The farmers
Of each county will brlng their exhihlts
to both fairs, and feeling of friendli-
ness De thereby engenier-d.
The gent enien of the committee who
were ENTRUSTED with the work of ar
rangemelt from Washington county
were representative c.tiz-us ard broad
minded men, who entered INT the sub
ject with determination to do the
proper thing, and they did it. The
conference was held in the CITY II Itel
parlor, after u sutnptuous dinner servel
III good taste by proprietor Doll, had
heen CONSUMED, aud after a friendly
session, amicabe conclusions were
reached aud all parties were pleased At
the result.
II was decided that the Frederick
County Agricultural Society should
hold It's fair this year on the 5th, 8 h,
10th aud llth days Of Octntnr, the reg
ular dates, and that tue Washington
County S1ciety hold theirs on the
week following. In after years alter
na,eiy, Frederick is TO be given the
choice of dates. Also All agreement
was reached, excluding professional ex-
hihit0rs who come in direct opp ,sition
to the farmers, in the matter IT live
stock exhibits. This question has been
a perilexlng one for many year, aud it
is gratifying to state that Its objections
have ben met aud disbursru for the
common goDd. Farmers should not b.
compelled to come into competition
with breeders, who start early in the
season., 90 the rounds of the fairs, hav-
their stock naturally in superb condi-
tiun and as result Ike all the prem
inns II they comp, te at all, lei it be
with those who are in class with
them. Make professional and non
Professional class; as it would be unjust
u entirely exclude foreign exhiblt"rs,
and deprive our people of seeing the
great advancement being made III tn-
raising OF fine stock in all parts Of the
country and it is only in this way
that they have an opportunity Of doing
so.
