That the ladies at the different booths
have not sold all their articles is not be-
cause of a lack of patronage, but be-
cause Of an immense supply. The din
ner and supper were again we'll pat
ronized. 1t begins to look like the per-
son who has promised 50 900, condi-
toned upon the realization Of s. ,00O
upon the Fair, will have to write a
check for that amount. In view of the
fact that a great many articles remain
in the booths, it has been decided to
continue the Fair until Saturday night.
The contests will be decided this even
ing. and it will be one of the biggest
nights of the Fair.
