Kansas City Fair.-We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary ticket to the First Annual Fair and Industrial Exposition, to be held at Kansas City, Missouri, commencing on October 16th, and continuing one week. Kansas City has made giant strides within the last eleven years, and from a town of three or four thousand inhabitants has become one of the leading cities of the West, with a population of thirty or forty thousand. As a railroad centre it bids fair to outstrip all western competitors and is backed up by one of the richest agricultural regions in the country. The enterprising and "go-ahead" people of that place will, without doubt, make the Fair a success, as is the case with everything they have undertaken.
