THE STREET FAIR.
Attention being called to the presence
OF a large delegation who desired TO
Fresent for the consideration of the board
the advantages which would result from
having a street fair in Richmond, Mr..
o. H. Funston moved that before pro-
hear from Mr.. A. II. Meyer, of the firm
OF julius Meyers Sons. who had given
the subject much consideration. and was
we'll informed in reference to the matter.
Mr. Meyer gave brief. but clear and in
tcrestins. description of such fairs. He
said, in part, that some OF the merchants
and other citizens OF Richmond. who
thought that 1t would be very desirable
10 have such fa!-. had decided 1t would
be advisable TO ask the Chamber to
either cooperate, IN which case he could
.,romise the most cordial assistance OF
those who had already been considering
the proposition. or to ask the Chamber
itself to take charge of the matter and
get up the fair. He described street
fair as different from the ordinary fair. il
being sn the streets OF the city instead
OF in an enclosure: that the booths OF
the merchants. manufacturers. etc,
be located by the Booth Committee on the
part OF the street or streets set apart
Il for the fair. and he suggested Broad
erect as. In his opinion. best suited
Tor the purpose. saying that one side
81 the street between the ailWay tracks
ana the curb.ng, would afford space for .
4 double linc Of booths. with @ walkwas
