Among other things, it was resolved to
have Trotting Meeting on the grounds
some time during the present Spring.
This will probably be held in May, but
the exact time cannot yet be fixed upon,
as it might, if set now, conflict with the
meetings that may have already been ar
ranged by other Societies. A Spring Meet
ing of this kind is new feature for this
locality, but 1t is believed that it will re-
suit in both pleasure and profit.
The price of admission to the Fall Fair
will be the same as last year--thirty cents
each for individuals and carriages.
The number of checks at the Fair to he
given to stockholders was made two for
each day, instead Of three as heretofore.
1t will be remembered that at the annual
meeting of the stockholders in February,
1888, vote was taken. which showed that
the sense of that meeting was that only
one check should be given to each stock
holder for each day of the Fair The
Board of Directors at that time did not
make any reduction in the number, but
it has now been thought best, in partial
accordance at least with the sentiment ex
pressed at the annual meeting of one year
ago, to make the number two.
A Large Reduction in Prices.
