This means much for the State
fair association, and for the people
OF Virginia. II means that by being
within the membership OF this great
association. the State fair will be in
position to give TO the visitor to the
fair the best obtainable in everything
which makes successful fair. II
will bring to Richmond many peo-
pie who might not otherwise feel in
dnced TO come. by virtue OF the fact
that a circuit of the great fairs OF
the East, including the big New York
city fair. will be able TO gather the
best talent there is. In the work of
perfecting such fairs and expositions.
