OVER SIX THOUSAND ATTEND.

OVER SIX THOUSAND ATTEND.
On Wednesday, the second day of
our Fair, there were about = 900 peo-
pie on the grounds. More than i've
thousand tickets were sold at the
gates. This, IS far as patronage is
concerned, stamps the Fredericks-
burg Fair grand success. The at
fractions were abundant, IS were also
the exhibits, which were numbered by
the thousands. 1t is safe to say that
no fair in Virginia has surpassed this
for certainly no agricultural
exposition.
Each year sees the exhibits and at
tendance increase, and the progress
is not one Of retrogade, but of visible
advancement. This is due in no small
measure to the interest displayed IN
the Fair by the ladies. We make this
the primary grounds upon which sue
cess in any undertaking particular
" a social one-depends. Next to
this influence belongs the efficient
manner in which the officers Of the
Society have ADVERTISED and managed
the association. Judging from opin'
ions CLEANED, We have nothing but
praise for the conduct Of our annual
attraction. If there we're any point
in which we might pick a flaw 1t
would be in the matter of trotting
races. Some marvel at why so big g
concern should have no trotting races,
and the answer from some Of the OH
Gals is that big concerns do not have
trotting races any longer. Where they
derive their information We do not
know. Certain it is that few of the
large fairs, or expositions, or what
ever they may be called, exclude this
class Of racing, while many of them
make it the leading feature. Just
here in Fredericksburg taste seems to
run entirely in the line of running
races, but it should be remembered
that Fredericksburg alone could not
make the Fair a success. In large
measure we are indebted to the sur.
rounding counties, and we are glad
to note that their citizens take an
equal pride in it. Is it not styled the
"Rappahannock Valley Agricultural
and Mechanical Society ?" and do
we not endesvor to live up to the
titlei Certainly, then, we must, and
do consider the demands and inter
ests of others outside of our city. Our
country cousins are passionately fond
of q good trotting race, and we have
overheard whispers of longing for
good, stirring trot. Let US, then, for
the next season consider this question
and fill the only card which may be
lacking in our programs.
To the thousands who have visited
our city this week we gave cordial
reception, and promise them better
for the future. So, as we all hope to
meet again, our friends should know
that this cordially shall grow as the
years advance, and bereft Of all I'M.
holy intents, let us prepare now for
the reunion of next year, which We
frust will find mona rnisain0

Use Strong Language-The Work in
Italy.

New York, Nov 19-Two fierce on
slaughts on the Church of Rome en-
livened the proceedings at to-day's ses-
sion of the General Missionary commit
tee of the Methodist Episcopal church.
On each occasion an audience which
filled every part of the large auditorium
in st. PauPs NJ e. church, where the
committee Is meeting, broke into ap-
plause and no effort was made by the
chair to check these demonstrations Of
approval.
The first person to advance to the at
tack was Bishop Goodsell of Tennessee.
In the course of an address on the work
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
various parts of Europe he had occa-
sion to speak of the work done in Italy
and conditions obtaining there.
In northern Europe, for instance in
Germany and the Scandinavian coun-
tries" the bishop said, 1--WE have made
satisfactory progress though we have
had q great deal of Indifference and
open opposition to contend with. Sta
tistics show that we have made as
much headWay during the first thirty
five years in Europe as we have in the
same period in this country, which Of
fers a more congenial soil for our
creed.
In southern Europe the conditions
are somewhat different. There the
struggle has been harder. There are
many who doubt whether we have done
any work at all in Italy, that land or
superstition and priest craft, whether
we could ever hope to accomplish any
thing there in face Of the tremendous
press of adverse thought with winch
we are confronted. The fact is that we
projected one of our workers into Italy.
