The weatlier was as fine as could le wished throughout the day. and the roads were in splendid condition, neither inuftdy or dusty. Tlie attendance was large; more so than is usual on tlie last day of tlieFair. As the a warding com mittees had generally finished their work, pieces of bine and ml riMxm were to le s?een attached to articles all through the Pavilion, ami of course there were many smiling faces, while there was at least an equal numher of phizmal:oganies" on which there could not be discovered the faintest trace or resemblauce of pleasure.- It was ever thus. Every one could not obtain a first or even a second premium .'had it been otherwise, the cae would have been different," or words to tliat eftect.

It is generally conceded, we believe, tliat there were a larger number of articles on exhibition in the Pavilion at the Sixth Annual Fair than at any previous one j inereioe wen-iwn gain in this department.

To extm rulsh and entirely eradicate those features of the Fan that prove so dis tasteful to tlie moral man, such objec tor shotild by Influences ami example, at each ahniiitl exhibitionj do all in his po"Ver td increase the interest in those deiartnienfc which areunolijectiouable, ami thus root out those features which pnive so unpalatable to them.
