that it will be the biggest thing of the kind ever
got up in America. The plan. de discussed.
is to offer an inducement OF rich money prizes
for the contestants and a new and costly
emblem. IL all goes well the best players in
Europe will be among the competitors. Several
experts spoken of as probable entries are

that the fair will yield the richest harvest OF
