To Reorssutze The Fair.

The reorganization committee which was
appointed last winter to devise plan for the
continuation of the Hartford fair met in Bel
Air on Monday Those present were Messrs
James Lee, X. harris Archer, John ii. Reck-
ord and B. F. Hanway, Lieutenant w. &.
Rouse the remaining member of the commit
tee, being unavoidably absent on military
duty. The committee organized by electing
Mr.. Hanway chairman, Mr.. Reckord secretary
and Mr.. Lee, treasurer
The different modes Of reorganization which
have been advanced were talked over and
finally the committee decided to adopt the
plan OF au entirely new company, free from
all obligations or enLanglemeuts Of the old
corporation. The stock issue was limited to
$4,000, divided into l 900 shares of $40
each. This will be abundant to provide for
| the purchase OF the grounds, make necessary
repairs and provide sufficient working capital
| to make the fair a success. An arrangement
was made with MIR. Harold ScarborG, of Bel
Air, to canvass and collect subscriptions for
| the stock, although it is expected that each
friend OF the fair will assist all that is possible
| in this work.
The committee wish it impressed upon the
people OF the county that 1t is important that
| q prompt and liberal response be ma de to the
call for subscriptions, for the reason that il
will not be possible to make arrangements for
| holding the fair the coming fall until it APP
pears certain that the new plan is to be
success. HIN week or two the responses are
| sufficiently numerous to warrant it, action
will be taken toward holding the fair as usual
II not, it will then be too late to defer longer
the preparation Of the catalogue and adver
| Using.
Blank forms OF subscription have been pre-
| pared guaranteeing the holder of each share
Of stock free admission for himself and team
at each annual exhibition of the society. This
will in iteelf be equal to an annual divi
| dend of twenty per cent on the value of the
stock and in addition each shareholder vii
know that his stock represents its equivalent
| in actual value in real estate.
The twenty-four previous annual exhibi
tions of the Hartford County Agriculture
Society have been Of great advantage to oul
county and a source Of much amusement and
| instruction to many Of our citizens. Although
| its stock now represents no money value, there
are probably very few OF the old stockholder
who have not received more than the wortt
of their money In fun and profit from thei
Investment. There is probably no one in th'
county who would not regret deeply to see tn
fair pass out Of existence. A prompt sub
scription to the new stock will secure its con
tinuance, Blank forms of subscription cat
be obtained upon application to any of th,
members of the committee or to Mr. Harolt
Scarboro, at Bel Air.

One of the most important laws now in force
in Maryland, is the one which was passed by
the last, Legislature, concerning diaries and
dairy farms. A large number of our farmers
are engaged in the milk business, and this
law, unless complied with strictly, will have
the effect Of driving many of them out OF the
business. Its provisions will prove burden
some and costly to the ordinary farmer, re-
quiring in many instances a remodeling OF his
barn and stables and the investment of the
greater part OF his revenue in keeping the
premises in order for any descent which may
be made upon him. Every dairyman, herds
man or private individual supplying milk to
any city, town or village is compelled to reg.
| lister his herd with the Live Stock Sanitary
| Board, or be subject to fine of 500 for eacl
uiTense A number of rules are laid down
which must be observed under heavy penalty
1t W 1uid be advisable for those interested t.
secure copy Of the law, (Chapter 3O6 of the
Act of 1889 and make themselves familiar
witt its provisions. 1t is said that the dairy
men have combined and employed ExGover
nor Whyte to test the constitutionality Of thu
law.
