was wag freely and fully discussed all the directors participating hi in the discussion the society being without funds and nand not owning a suitable building to hold an exhibition in and in view af the tile cost of or fitting up places for the proper gd and safe dispi display ay of or in and au out t door doon exhibits b 1 ts it was deemed under tho ho the circumstances inadvisable to attempt to hold a fair during the coming fall aside from the lenses expenses ex of these those exhibitions which must bo be met by those who incur them in the aho ab alonco sonco of any public resource set aside for that pur purpose poe such undertakings tre quiro require a great deal of the personal supervision a and nd care of tile the directors who receive nothing for their labors andin and in view of

S and at the tile same time to make the fair pay so as to meet the tiie immediate expenses of the exhibition and ani the tho resulting premiums to successful exhibitors the responsibilities of the

the territory are calculated to accomplish a vast amount of good farmers and stock raisers in witnessing the tile results of skill experience and intelligent direction of labor are stirred up to thought and emulate emulation on and the result is is better crops and and aud finer animals local manufactures receive an imp impetus etu by tho the presentation of the their ar handiwork hardi work to the public eye esq and the inventive receive suggestions for improvement and new undertakings the public taste is cultivated by inspecting works of art and the beauties of nature and people of all ages and both sexes are profited and encouraged in seeing what has been done and reflecting on what can be done with the vast resources of our mountain home bome ome there were many demands upon the limited revenue of the Territory at the recent session of the legislature the committee on claims and appropriations spent much time in considering them and making a selection of the most pressing that they did not report favorably on the requested appropriation for a territorial fair was kasnot not because they were opposed to such sueh exhibitions or fall fali failed to recognize the benefit of such 1 displays but beaise they considered other demands more essential to the public good and perhaps in consequence of a failure to see the responsibility lity of the territory to pay the expenses of such buell expositions we think however that the sum aum necessary for the erection of impermanent building for the D A and society which is creation the work of the legislative assembly and for of a year ly y fair and its premiums would be money well and profitably expended wo we hope that by the time of the next mee eting of the assembly the tile territorial r finances will wiil be
