independent Meeting of Stockholders in

Reports from al! sections of the county
would indicate that the refusal OF the Elkton
fair managers this year to admit stockholders
to the grounds free, as heretofore, in consid-
Grafton of their stock, is meeting with pro-
nounced disapproval on the part of the
stockholders who claim that the action of the
Association was not in accordance with the
laws governing it.
An Independent meeting of stockholders
was held in Elkton, on Thursday at which
certain matters claimed to pertain to their
interests as stockholders were discussed. In
an advertisement in todny's CECIL WING n
committee advises all holders OF stock not to
dispose of same.
The managers Of the fair Oh the other hand
point to their management with pride and
claim that the dissatisfaction on the part of
those interested in the above movement is
unwarranted and prompted by unkind
motives. They claim that their decision in re-
spect to not admitting stockholders free was
reached at Il regular meeting of the man
ayers and was done as they deamed it to be
the best financial interests OF the association
