The trustees held d meeting at the Court
House Friday evening, to audit the bills
The accounts show balance of over 500
in the treasury after paying all purses, pre-
mum> and bills III full. a vote of thanks
was given to l.. L. Gentner for courtesies,
and t. Henry Gentner for selling score
cards for the Society. The question of
changing the grand stand and judges stand
to the opposite side of the track was discus
sed, but no action was taken. Those who
favor the change say the sun shines directly
in the faces of the spectators, and that cold
winds and showers come from the same
direction, which would be remedied were
the grand stand on the other side Against
this it is argued that the change will Separ-
ate the halls and grand stand, preventing
those who are at the halls from seeing the
races to advantage. \ number of societies
throughout the country have changed their
grand stands from the east to the west side
of the course to avoid the sun Whether
the change is made OF not the grand stand,
halls, fences, etc, will be greatly improved
before the next fair.
The trustees passed vote some time ago
that no more horses were to be buried on
the grounds. but the notice was not general
ly circulated and several have been buried
there recently. The reason for the action of
the trustees is that the horses are not prop
erly buried, and are becoming offensive.
The second premium on exhibit of fruit
was awarded to James Ii. Cunningham and
not to Mark A. Wadlin as reported last
week.
