the morning. This will be one of the most
attractive features of the fair. There will
be number of competitors for the prizes
gold and silver medals
Some dissatisfaction is expressed on ac-
count of the system that has been adopted
i'll regard to ticket privileges, ut this time
it seems that q ticket will cover but one ad-
mission, and if the holder comes out he
must pay fifty cents for re-admission and
the same with ''season tickets.' One of these
might in this way be used up in Il day. We
hope this rule will be modified
