Indoana State Fair.

The lithograph posters for the coming State Fair are neat and attractive. TJte Fair is announced for one week, com September 24th. There will be the usual display in the jyay of an exposition during the fair week- Many exhibitors have expressed themselves willing tQ exhibit for that length of tta>o that could not continue for a longer period. From present indications, the immense exposition building will be- well filled, «tnd make a fine display, especially so aa the destruction by fire last winter, of aoiue of the buildings adjpimng the main balk will necessitate thccrowding other departments into ’.the main building. Every department will be represented as heretofore. Special inducements are offered to exhibitors in the mechanical and art departments, as will be noticed by retiring to rules 2nd uud 11th of the

rules and regulations to be found in the premium list. The Horticultural department will be exhibited on the second floor of the main hall. The State Horticultural Society will make an rkhibiti mot fruits nnd flowers, not as ft competitor but to show what can be done in that fine. They will also hold u meeting for discussion one evening during the fair. There will also be meetings held each evening during the fair waek, by one of the State industrial associations; i. e. Short Horn breedcis, swro*- breeders, wool growers and poultry breeders, the programme of which will be announced hereafter.— The live stock interests continue to increase; the number of stalls and pons already secured by exhibitors insures success in that line, and judging from the office business as connected with the fair, the prospects are of the moat encouraging nature. Considsring that we are favored the present season with the most bountiful crops for manyyeaas past, with peace and plenty, and no political excitement, or “centennial attraction,” we have reason to expect an Old Fashioned State Fair, The Board of Agriculture will leave nothing undone to secure success, and merit the approval of exhibitors and visitors. Premium lists cun be procured of members of the board, the secretaries of agricultural societies in the Stale, or by sending the address to the Secretary of the Board Agriculture.
