j. w. Hall, upon whom the labor
of managing the fair chiefly fell, on
account of the absence of the presi-
dent of the Fair Ground Company,
says that he gave no party license to
set up any gambling establish
ments" on the fai1 ground, and that
he asked sheriff Patterson to arrest
any party engaged in the unlawful
business. Whatever of that business
was done, was done without any per-

the contrary.
