The Fair
We are informed by the officers of the Bristol Border Fair, that more letters of inquiry from other counties have been received this year than for any previous one in ten years. The prospect is that there will be the largest attendance ever known. The inquiry for stalls is absolutely unprecedented. The stalls for fine stock; and indeed all the stalls. have been roofed anew and otherwise put in good order. The track has been put in perfect order. There will be a grand street procession headed by two brass bands-the Bristol Band and the Richmond & McElrathe Band of Philadelphia, Pa. The seats in the hail building have been put in direct connection with the exhibition rooms, so that parties no longer have to pass "down and out" to get from the one to the other.
