The Committees Report is Adverse to
ANY Further Effort for Carrying on tho
Fair Association.
The report Of the committee APP
pointed at the recent meeting of stock
holders and creditorsof the Wilmington
Fair Association is in hand.
1t is value for definite statement
that 1t is useless to continue the asso-
citation. There is nothing now left but
to hand over the assets OF the organi-
cation to the creditors, for them to
take such action as they may deem
fitting. This means that the buildings,
which constitute the whole of the assets,
will be placed in the sheriff's hands for
disposition.
One of the directors stated on Satur.
day that the immediate cause of the col.
lapse of the Fair Association is the
high premiums paid to exhibitors.
The Wilmington Fair Association has
been in existence for five years. A total
Of over $4,000 has been sunk in the
enterprise. The land on which the
buildings are erected were only leased
1t is the opinion OF several of the di-
rectors that a successful fair can only
be run with the adiuncts OF whisky and
poolselling and this the directors will
not consent to.
