FAIR RECEIPTS $4,000
MOST PROFITABLE EVENT OF T
KIND EVER HELD IN THE STATE.
Attendance Yesterday Reached $4,000
The Last Award of Pre-
miums Yesterday.

Indiana's most successful exposition closed
yesterday. Treasurer Lagrange, of the State
Board Of Agriculture, said last night that
the receipts of the fair were $4,000. He
added that when the accounts were made
up 1t probably would be found that this
was the most profitable fair the State had
ever had. 1t has been the rule that the fair
of every other year should lose. This years
fair was due to win, and il did. The I'M
proftableness of last years fair put the
treasury in debt, but this debt Is now
cleared away. and the prospect is that there
will be a considerable balance. Secretary
Kennedy, who worked hard all week, be-
came i'll yesterday and had to go home. He
was delighted with the success of the fair.
The weather kss been charitable, and last
nights rain was held off just long enough.
Though yesterday was the last day of the
fair, fully 1900 people went into the
grounds. The exhibitors were preparing to
move out, but none of the features of the
fair was taken away. Credit is given to the
exhibitors for the extensiveness of their
shows. In all departments the exhibits were
more attractive than ever before. In all
about $4,000 was paid in premiums and
purses.

The Hood Exhibits.

The livestock exhibits from the Hood
farm. Lowell. Mass, nave carried way a
number of the hrst-ribbon premiums, of the
fair. The farm is conducted on thoroughly
modern plans, with the idea for its guide
that the best results are only to be expected
from the best blood. The stock farm is
owned by c. i. Hood, and has produced
herds of cattle and swine that have become
famous among stockmen all over the cOun>
try. The best of the Hood animals were
sent TO the Indiana fair to compete with the
exhibits from the entire middle West. Many
of the animals are the direct descendants
of the ribbon winners at the worlds fair.

ever before. Though there have been many
arrests during the last six days, only six
Of them can be traced directly TO the fair.
Yesterday was the lightest day of all, only
one arrest being made between s a. m. and

has made some difference, but the number
of offenders down town, most of whom were
arrested on minor charges, has been sur
