AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Hartford County Agrcul-
tural Society, held in Bel Air, on Mon
day, the reports submitted showed the
expenses of the last fair to be $500
greater than the receipts, which is ac-
counted for by the bad weather and cost
ly permanent improvements. The treas
urer's report showed that there had bccu
expended S4.G4O.53, while the total re-
ceiptS from all sources amounted to
about $1,000. The stockholders are much
encouraged at the outlook, and believe
that the fair association will now be a
permancncy.

The National Board of Trade, in Scs-
sion ut Washington, ID. c., favored penny
postage, but the postal authorities think
e. they cannot grant it while the poStoflicp
Department is not Scf-susta&ling. Advo-
Gates of the one cent rate reply that
frst-ClaSS or letter mail shows Il large
profit for the government. while all the
loss is due to the low rates on second
class matter, which, they say. is class
discrimination III favor of the publishers.
To cqualiZe matters it is suggested that
the second class privilege be granted
more sparingly. They further argue that
penny postage will so increase the num-
Der of letters sent that loss to the Gov
eminent will be minimizcd by the aug
mentri volume of business.
