by an earnest speech, in which he claimed
that the stock show last year might have
been much larger, had there not have been a
conflict of time between the Indiana exhibit
ton and the 81. Louis fair.

to fix the time at once, and telegraph the
same To other States, thai arrangements
might be made by which no conflict shall be
experienced.

ing the time of holding the State Fair begin
on the last Monday of September.

people under eighteen years Of age. On mo-

2i be stricken from the premium list, and
spoke in favor of the motion. This strikes
out premiums on best sheep for mutton and
wool combined for profit not embraced in
any other classes.
Mr.. Farman remarked against adopting
the motion upon the ground other classes
than thoroughbreds should be allowed a
chance for competition.
Mr.. Cobb opposed the cutting down of
premiums in any class. He would raise
them if anything. He was opposed to the
wedding of the State Fair and Exposition
from the beginning, but now that it had
taken place, he was not in favor of divorce.
He thought it not advisable to cut down
premiums and increase rates of admission.
City of Indianapolis can we'll afford to pay
all it has paid, and all it has yet to pay, for
the benefits it has received. The Board must
keep on top. Speaker ruled out of order

dith's motion.
