much grander scale During the Fair

ducer aud The tobacco maDufact ure
had been brought face to face. Keep

an obstacle u the way Of organizing

mndate the next Fair and the Asso
| citation would hardly feel justified liz
| making the r, quired enlargement fOI
| one year only.

| by Mr. Vaughn Ii necessary, booths
may be erected upon the streets.
