THIRD ANNUAL 1-‘AIR OF Tr-In MECHANICS’INSTITUTE or '1‘HL
CITY 01? New-YORK.

The Fair of the Institute will be held at Nihlo’s Garden
‘commencing Monday, September 25th, 1837.

To render this exhibition worthy of the arts and of the inge-
nuity of the Mechanics of our country, the Managers appointed
to conduct the approaching Fair have determined to inahe such
liberal arrangements as will insureto the contributors a fair op-
portunity of exhibiting their productions to the greatest advan-
tage. _ _

The object of Exhibition Fairs is to present to the members
of the Institiiteand their fellow citizens who are engaged in the Me-
chanic Arts, the means of making their skill and ingeunity
known in a way no other facilities afford: the many thousands
who visit such exhibitions have a much better opportunity of
judging of the merits of the various productions, than they would
have by a mere verbal or newspaper description, besides the ad.
vantage of seeing brought together, in one vast collection, thel
products of the skill, ingenuity, and industry of our country.

PREMIUMS of Medals, Diplomas, 8zc. will be awarded fbr al
worthy or meritorious articles exhibited, either as it respects su-
perior workmanship, machinery wherein the operations are new,
interesting or important, where ingenuity is displayed, or taste
manifested, and particularly for all new and useful inventions.

You arerespectfully requested to send, for competition or ex-
hibition, specimens of the articles you manufacture; and you
may be assured that the strictest impartiality will be observed in
the distribution of the Premiums.

Steam powerwill be provided for the accommodation of those
who wish to exhibit Machinery in operation; an experienced
Superintendant will take charge of this department, and contri-
butors in this branch are particularly invited to send or bring their
Machines or models as early as possible, on the 23d September
that the necessary arrangements may be made in relation to
shafting, pullies, 82c. . .

The Managers, in conclusion, cannot but express their belief
that this Third Fair of the Mechanics’ Institute, will exceed
in variety and beauty of display, all previous exhibitions of the
kind. .
