deserves uut'avoijible criticisiii ; uiul if some of the dcpai'ttiicuts 

 nl our Fair did not come up to the usual standard, we consider 

 the Children's Departmeut as comparing favorably with, and 

 indeed as excelling in some points, what it has been in the last 

 few years ; and will not the children try to make it more 

 attractive year by year, and let it be seen that their department 

 is a growing one? 



Respectfully submitted, 



S. B. STEVENS.
