METROPOLITAN  FAIR,
IN AID OF THE
  A Metropolitan Fair is to be held in the metropoli-
tan city of New York, opening on the 28th of March, 1864,
for the  relief of the sick and wounded of the National
Army.  It is designed to be something much larger than
a Fair, in the modern  acceptation of that term.   Every
branch of agriculture,  trade, industry and art will be in-
vited to contribute its  choicest and costliest products for
exhibition and sale.  Musical and Dramatic artists will be
invited  to  aid  the  common cause with their  talent and
genius.   All the material resources of the great City of
New York, and of the region  directly tributary to it, are
to be invoked.
   The farmers of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
New Jersey, and the adjacent States, will  send in speci-
mens of their finest stock; our factories will contribute
locomotives,  pianos,  sewing  machines,  steam  ploughs,
and all the mechanical products of Northern intelligence
and industry,  in  aid  of  the  great  cause of National
unity.
   Any class that can give anything, or produce anything
that will furnish the  means of  succoring our National
camps and hospitals, will make itself tributary to a great
" National Exposition," for purposes not  of mere ostenta-
tion, but of substantial aid to the country.
   Two Committees—one of ladies and another of gentle-
men—have been appointed to  carry out this undertaking.

You are invited, personally, to co-operate in it, or, if you
cannot do so, to give it the influence of your name, ex-
ample and position*.
  By a Fair, such as New York contemplates, Chicago
has raised nearly sixty thousand dollars for army relief.
This sum  may well save to the  Nation the lives of ten
thousand  soldiers.   Who  can tell  what these may  be
worth in diminishing the cost and duration of the war ?
  Boston  has already realized  one hundred  and forty
thousand  dollars, and Cincinnati  two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, by their Fairs, for a similar object. And
should not the city of New York, and the wealthy region
of which it is the centre, do more for this great National
object  than  Chicago, Cincinnati, or Boston, or than  all
three together?
  We confidently rely on your aid, and call on you for it,
without hesitation or apology.   We apply to you  in the
interest of no party, radical or conservative, republican or
democratic, administration or anti-administration.   To  all
these shades of opinion we are strangers.   We know only
this: that to send our National soldiers  in the field sup-
plies, to supplement those Government undertakes to give
them, but which they sometimes fail to receive, and thus
to relieve them when  sick  and in  misery,  is  a work  of
Christian charity, and that  it is a work of intelligent pat-
riotism also,  as  economizing their  life, health and effi-
ciency, on which, under God, the Nation depends in this,
its time of trouble.
  We  therefore ask every clergyman to announce this
humane undertaking to his people, and to advise them to
do what they can to further it.  We ask the press to give
it the widest publicity, and the most earnest encourage-
ment.  We call on  every workshop, factory and mill  for
a specimen of the best thing  it  can turn out; on every 
5
artist, great  and small, for one  of his creations;  on all
loyal women, for the exercise of their taste and industry;
on farmers,  for the products of their fields and  dairies.
The  miner,  the naturalist, the man of science, the travel-
ler, can each send something  that can, at the very least,
be converted into a blanks,  that will warm,  and may
save from death some one soldier whom Government sup-
plies have failed to reach.  Every one who can produce
anything that has money value, is invited to give a sample
of his best work, as  an offering to  the cause of National
unity.   Every loyal and patriotic workingman, mechanic,
or farmer, who can make a pair  of shoes or raise a barrel
of apples, is called on to contribute something that can be
turned into money, and again from money into the means
of economizing the health  and the life  of our National
soldiers.
   Contributions are  also invited for temporary loan and
exhibition.   Connected with the Fair will be a Museum
of Paintings, Statuary, Ancient Furniture, Autographs,
Articles of Yertu, and  curiosities of every class.    They
will be on exhibition during the Fair, and fully protected
against injury.
   These contributions,  whether  loans  or donations, may
be sent to No. 2 Great Jones Street, or to the Fair Build-
ngs,  Fourteenth Street,  near Sixth Avenue.
   Money is  also needed, for expenses of  printing and ad-
vertising, &c.   Contributions of  money should be sent to
Mrs. Ellen K. Strong, Treasurer  of Metropolitan Fair,
No. 2 Great Jones Street, New York.
   The ladies have obtained, through the generosity of Mr.
Charles H. Eussell, the  house lately occupied by him
No. 2 Great Jones Street, which will be used as a Eeceiv-
ing Depot, for light articles.
