E. L. Hovey, after noting that the
society had got into a rut and was run
ming to emptyings remarked that it
was time for something now, and NOV
ed that this year there he a three days
fair and that the trotting be distributed
over each of the three days. E. E. Sar

the exhibits also be left until the close
of the fair. E. t. Ide approved and
thought the exhibits should be in place

three days fair. e. P. Allen wanted
more fair than trotting and urged that
all games of chance be excluded from
the grounds. 1t was finally voted to
hold II three days fair; that exhibits
should remain OH exhibition and that
