NELSON.
[From the Nelson Examiner, March 6.] Richmond Fair.—Yesterday week the third Fair of the year for the disposal of stock was held at Richmond. The transactions were chiefly for horned cattle, but a few horses changed hands. Prices were moderate, and a fair amount of business was done. In the evening a proposition was started to purchase a piece of land for the future use of the Fair, instead of holding it as heretofore in the paddocks of one of the inns of the village ; and no better proof of the success of the Fair can be shown, now that it has been tried for a year, than the readiness with which persons came forward to take shares in this proposed undertaking. We observe that a meeting is called for Thursday evening next, to take further measures for giving this proposal effect.
