A Fair or a Fake.

Editor Item:
Your criticism of the gambling feature of
the Colored Industrial Fair in yesterdays
issue, vas inst and timely. linsended at its
opening this year TO publicly express my dis
approval, but did not, beyond what said
from my pulpit last Sunday. In fact, had
f,oped that from what then said the man
aeenens would have been induced not 10 per-
NIT il, but Ireckoned without ny host.
The reasons that prevented my allowing
myself TO be the first 10 crificise the: man
ayers Of The fair through the press are several
aud are regarded bv me as being good ones.
H need be can give them IT'S shame and
. disgrace for the stockholders (nearly, if not
all Of whom are church uembers), to subject
our people, especially our girls, TO the sight
Of professional gamblers plying their voca-
ton publicly on The fair grounds, and our
boys to the temptation offered them to start
on q downward career. What makes rne
feel i: the more keeniy is. that this fair asso-
ciation was organized at Emmanuel Cnurcn
for the splgtag of The colosed people, and
DOW it seems as If the livery Of heaven was
nsed to serve the devil in.
Nearly everyone of The stockholders of the
association 10 personal friend OF mine, some
Of them intimate friends / am exceedingly
cory to have TO pen these lines, bat feel
that must, on behalf of the ministers Of
Snmter, whose sentiments1 express, protest
in the name of God against this species of
open immortality feel that the city coun-
Ell is as blameworthy as the fair association.
By permitting this gambliug-bossed by
white man who purchased the privilege, and
Who has as his customers both white and
colored-the COUNCIL for whoever Is respon.
siole for it), has done the citizens, add es-
pecialiy the coIered people, more harm than
fit had through carelessness permitted small
pox or yellow fever 30 be brought into our
midst. c. C. Scorr,
Pastor Emmanuel u. E. Church.

DailY Item. October ls

Tbs gambling at the Fair grounds last
nigh. was done inside the building. The
fakirs say they did not do very large busi-
Dess. Why were these men allowed to carry
on their business after the police had positive
instructions to prohibit 1t, Is the question we
would ask It seems to as that If the officers
had de6uite instructions. they should have
been there to see that these instructions were
carried out.

The crowd at the fair grounds last night
vas larger then the previous night.
4 survey Of the household and mechanical
exhibit is very entertaining and We heartily
commend the efforts of our coiosed citizens in
this direction.
After passing through the exhibition hall
out into the arena you come in contact with
the wheel Of fortune and other things of the
same character. We we're assured last year
that the last named feature would be elimi-
raied FROM the fair grounds this year, but it
is there. We bad purposed critieising this
particular feature of the fair in to-day 8
