Mr.. Gotham see no use of discussing
this matter further. move to adjourn.
Mr.. McClung remarked that his resolu-
tons were offered as substitute to the
others. They would bridge over the chasm
He urged their adoption, and was very pa
ohio and earnest in recommending united
and harmonious action in this whole affair.
Mr.. Kelly said st. Paul was willing to go
half way. The State Fair association would
be- willing to have its exposition
held this year at Faribault or
some other designated place-if site be-
tween the two cities of Minneapolis and ST..
Paul could not be arranged for this year.
In a desire to make matters harmonious and
to extend friendly hand for cordial grasp,
the st. Paul fair would be willing to have
Col. King president of the united concern;
all st. Paul wanted was concession and
equity in the whole affair.
Mr.. Chute-It won't do.
Mr.. Kelly-Then Mr.. Gotzian's motion to
adjourn is in order, the only thing in order.
DR.. Day interposed an objection. He sug-
gested the ACCESSIBILITY of discussing whether
the two fairs couldn't be held week apart,
or something of that kind.
Minneapolis Delegation agreed
to that" And Immediately made known that
they wanted the first whack.
| Mr.. Ingersoll expressed his reluctance to
enter into such an arrangement. Minneapo-

at Mr.. Iugersol (another church member)
for suggesting this species of gambling.
Mr.. Whitney explained that even this
course could not be adopted by Minneapolis.
The horse circuit prevented it. Arrange
ments had been made, engagements effected
with certain horsemen for them to take in
Minneapolis during the first week in Sep
tember. Their books were made
accordingly, and no change could
be made for second week, or the week pre-.
vious to the one already designated and adj
vertised.
Mr.. McClung thought this difficulty could
be readily overcame if the half way fair was
agreed upon, the union fair would assume
all the contracts made by Min,

modations we're prepared to meet every
such engagement. Or the Northwestern as
ISOLATION could hold the fair on the St. Pau
grounds the first week in September, anc
the next week the State fair wonld occupy
the Minneapolis grounds. Thus two
weeks fair would be held, and none toe

Mr.. Ingersoll. The latter gentleman sale
st. Paul was SO in earnest, that at it's OWL
expense the buildings now on the driving
park would be removed to the new site, OF
new structures be erected, SO all could be
accommodated by the 1st of Septembe,

involved addressed themselves TO everybody

conciliation. st. Paul was ready to do he1
part. He asked as much of Minneapolis.

MIR. Kelly said St. Paul had already held
the fair once at Minneapolis. He looked fol
a little reciprocity for equity's sake.
COL Hewitt suggested the use of a stove
