otiDery Of this committee is still at work not
withstanding the Fair has been closed for more
than fortnight they still continue to be in the re-

ten thousand dollars. Their returns, as Dor ao-
kn0wledgment In another column, indicate how
well they have managed matters. With Mr. Bond

are at least an even "quarter Of q million" or
one-fowth the net results OF the Fair.
