Advertisements in the Premium List.
The premium list contains a number of advertisements, to
which public attention is respectfully directed.
For the purpose of exciting an increased interest in the ap
proaching Fair, the Directors early in the year conceived the
idea of soliciting advertisements abroad, and to this end ad
dressed circulars to a large number of manufacturers and others
throughout, the country, agreeing to accept in payment therefor
articles made, manufactured, or sold by advertisers.
In response to these circulars many advertisements have been
received, accompanied by the articles. All of these will be on
exhibition at the Fair. Some of them have been devoted to the
payment of premiums. Others will be sold or awarded as gifts
amongst the holders of admission tickets.
Until the Fair opens they can all be seen at the Rooms of the
Association in Rome.
Tickets of Admission to the Pair.
For the purpose of increasing the revenues of the Association,
and as an additional incentive to visitors, the Directors have
adopted the following Ticket System :

either blind or blind-folded, so that he cannot see or read; and
he by him placed in an envelope and sealed up. The envelope
will then be labelled for the first gift Other numbers will then
he drawn, sealed up, and labeUed for the other gifts, in their
order; until two hundred and sixteen numbers are drawn.
These envelopes will be sealed up in a single package, and
deposited in some secure place until the last day of the Fair, at
which time they will all be opened in the presence of the
visitors, and their result announced.
A committee of citizens will be present to witness the drawing
of the numbers and attend to sealing them up so that no person,
not even one of the Directors, nor one of the committee, can or
will know to what number any one of the gifts is assigned.
These tickets will be offered for sale at an early day, in Rome
and elsewhere, so that all may soon have opportunity to buy.
When the twelve thousand are exhausted all chances for any
of the gifts will be lost. Hence it is important that those who
wish to secure a chance for either of these handsome gifts should
buy at once.
The tickets will only cost half a dollar, and each ticket will
entitle the holder to one admission to the Fair Grounds.
Purchasers should be particular to preserve their tickets, as
gifts will be paid only to the bearer.
The gifts will be delivered on the Grounds during the
last day of the Fair, or in Rome at any time within thirty days,
but not after that lime.

The Directors of the Association contemplate the establish
ment of
A “Roll of Honor.”
The success of all undertakings, which require the joint efforts
of several persons, must depend upon the certainty of each one
performing his part at the proper time and in proper manner.
Employers must have laborers and laborers must be paid for
their services. Promptness is essentiSd in both the employer and
employee.
The Directors invite reports from^mployers, as to the faith
fulness with which laborers perform their contracts; and upon
these reports a Diploma or Letter of Recommendation will be
issued by the Association, so as to enable prompt and reliable
laborers to find remunerative employment.
