At the conclusion of the read
ing of Mr.. Judson's report, Mr.. Van
Dusen, of the Southern Minnesota
Fair association, of Rochester, stated tn at
the fair association entered into con-
tract with the State Agricultural associa-
ton, to share in some way with the profits
IN the state fair, and contract was read
between the two showing that such an ar
rangement was entered into. He further
stated that Mr.. Judson had rendered an &C
count of the receipts and expenditures of
tie state fair which differed from the &C
count the secretary had Just made to the
State Agricultural society. He read
the account rendered by Mr.. Judson
to the Rochester people and COM
pared the items with the secretary's re-
port, Just read, and showed that there was
a difference of over $4,000 between the
two. AS this is an interesting and i'm
portant matter the contract is as follows:
Articles of agreement made and en-
tered into this 26th day of July, 1882, by
and between George w. Van Dusen, presi-
dent. and II. I. Harmon, secretary of the
Southern Minnesota Fair association, par
ties of the first part, and Clark Thompson
and R. G. Judson, a committee of and for
the state fair of Minnesota, parties of the
second part, witnesseth;
That the parties of the first part do
agree to furnish suitable grounds and
buildings, ready for occupation on the 2Sth
day of August, 1882, at Rochester, Mime
sota,. known as the Rochester fair
grounds, and to put the same
under the control of the Minnesota
State Fair society so that they can proper
ly hold their annual state fair, commenc-
ing Aug. 81 and ending Sept. 8, 1882. In
consideration of the above the parties of
the second part agree to hold on the
above described fair grounds their annual
fair for the year 1882 and to pay the $500
of Indebtedness, all expenses, salaries, pre-
miums, purses and any and all expenses
or costs of running such state fair and
give to the part of the first part half of
the remainder after paying as above.
The above contract was signed by Clark
W. Thompson, G. A. Crandall, on the part
of the State Fair, and Geo. W. Van Dusen
and n. 7. Harmon, for the Southern
Minnesota Fair association.
| Col. Stevens could not see what the
State Agricultural society had to do with
this matter. This society had nothing to
do with considering the financial matters
of the Rochester fair people.
| Mr.. Chadbourne, of Rochester, protested
against this and claimed that the people
| of Rochester had rights in the society
and proposed to have them recognized in
this meeting.
Mr.. Judson, the secretary, said he desired
to have full hearing. If there was any
thing rotten in Denmark" he wanted to
know it.
Mr.. Chadbourns-There is plenty of it
that is rotten.
Judson-Well, let us have it then. Let
US get at the bottom of the matter.
Here long squabble occurred as to
whether the secretary should read the item
lied account of his report, and almost a
1000 motions we're made a minute, and
rulings followed in lightning
rapidity. Finally after all
the talk was ended it was determined to
have all the items read, and the secretary
proceeded to read long, long account of
| small items.
THE TREASURES REPORT.
When the secretary finished reading the
itemized accounts, the Rochester people
l requested that the treasure read his re-
