READ THIS. THE STATE FAIR. The annual exhibition of the SoAgricultural and Manufacturing ciety is now recorded history so far as the current year ia concerned. A great and instructive show it proved to be. The slate's stocktaking is always a matter of inerest to the citizens. but this year was unusually so. Not only were the exhibits larger in kind and if possible better than ever before, lint the variety was greater and the methods of exhibition much improved, the prlnciital structure itself having undergone marked improvement. The sNirting element, and not a few who are not so classified, had a new feature to attract heir attention in the splendid dog show, which proved to be a strong card for the fair as a whole. The batiy show alit seems we must always have, though as a means of accomplishing injustice and wounding maternal feelings ll has no equal and might pruiier-llie passed up to stay. The display of horses, live Btock. poultry, fruits, vegetables, fish, etc., was as usual fine in all respects, there being more of each than at any previous time. Those who failed to atend the fair missed the greatest treat of the year.
