We think it wonld'be satisiac- tury to all parties concerned if the Secretary and Treasurer, at the first meeting, would read a financial statement showing the e- mount of money received and expended last year. This would give an idea as to how much would be required for the coming Fair. It is to be hoped s meeting will be called by (he‘er authorities at once.

The Premier stated that, judging from appear- ances, the liceuse system was drawing to an end. and that liquor dealers should take warning, and be prepared. This occurred last week, and may bezconsidered “a, sign of the times."
