BY the time the races closed. many OF
the exhibits had been moved from the
fair grounds. and the crowd had gone
home. The officers Of the association
believe they will come out Of the fair
with balance on the right side Of the
ledger. While not the most successful
fair the society has ever held. the gen.
erai opinion is that II was fully up to
the average.
