The Prospects Excellent Notes and sug
gestiOns Regarding 1t.
The prospects for good fair are very
bright. More entries have been made
already than any previous year that
have been connected Herewith. People
are realizing the benefits to be derived
from an exhibit of their goods and ami
mails they may have to dispose of. 1t is
a very good place to advertise what one
has to sell. The entry books are open
and any one desiring to do so can make
| their entries at any time.
New admission tickets of quite diff
ferent style have been secured for use
during the fair.
Membership tickets of a new design
have been prepared, and the convent
ence will be appreciated when seen.
For number of years lot Of specula-
tors have been selling tickets outside of
the grounds to parties visiting the fair,
and in several instances have Victimized
the innocent purchasers by selling them
a worthless piece Of card board. Mem
bership tickets are for sale now, and
till the fair, at the bank of George D.
Harter, on East Tuscarawas street.
During the fair they will be for sale at
the ticket offices on the grounds only.
Each membership ticket has been sign
ed by the Secretary and stamped twice
with the seal Of the Society.
word or two to those contemplating
making entries may not be out of place.
Every one making an exhibit Of any
thing Is required by the rules of the So
eiety to purchase membership ticket.
After he has done this he will then go to
the Secretary and his assistants, and
make his entries. The Secretary will
make the proper entries and give him
an entry tag for each entry made. This
he will place upon the article entered
In as conspicuous place as possible. A
good plan for those contemplating max
ing a number of entries is to take a
premium list and make out list of ar
ticles or animals they wish to enter.
This they can do more readily at home,
when everything Is quiet, If you are
In doubt as to what class an article be-
longs, put the name of 1t on your list,
and with the aid Of the Secretary or his
assistants you will be able to get 1t in
its proper place. By doing this you will
save time and worry to yourself and the
clerks. Remember the entry books will
close at II m. of the second day.
Ample provisions have been made in
the way of music. The Grand Army
Band will play on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. They will give two con-
eerts each day, which will be treat to
all. Arrangements for five races have
been made. A purse of $50 has been
offered for bicycle race.
Parties desiring to exhibit in Floral
Hall had better call on Mr.. j. f. Roth,
Superintendent, and secure space, as
nearly all the space is already taken.
A few words to the citizens of Stark
county may not be out of place here.
The success of the fair depends largely
upon you. With your aid and hearty
cooperation the managers hope to make
1t q grand success. There Is nothing
that advertises the resources of a cOun-
ty better than good fair. Bring on
your good articles of all kinds, and
don't wait for your neighbor to do it. If
you have better apples, potatoes, wheat,
cattle or sheep than your neighbors,
bring them here and exhibit them to
everybody. If you are more successful
than your neighbOr, the people want to
know it.
If you are desirous of getting some
new kind of wheat or corn, go to the
fair and examine the different samples.
You can find out the owner on the last
day of the fair at the Office of the Sec
retary, and thus be put in communica-
tiOn with him.
This is no corporation or firm who
run this to make money and divide the
proceeds as some people think. The
officers and directors get one dollar a
day and mileage one way for their SER
vices. The surplus money goes towards
keeping up the grounds and buildings.
Stark county holds high rank among
the counties of our State for wealth,
population and produetiveness. Let us
endeayOr to be near the top for good
fair. II. R. PACKER, Secretary.
