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 eo-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 
 
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 Vertu, 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 E. Strong, Treasurer of Metropolitan Fair, 
 No. 2 Great Jones Street, New York. 
 
 The ladies have obtained, through the generosity of Mr. 
 Charles H. Kussell, the house lately occupied by him 
 No. 2 Great Jones Street, which will be used as a Receiv- 
 ing Depot, for light articles.
