TAIL END OF THE FAIR
EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS OF THE
WEEK ABOUT BALANCE.
Exhibitors Busy All Day Getting Their
Goods Away-More Talk OF
the Match Race.

After closely computing the expenses and
receipts of the state fair last week the
members of the State Board say the re-
ceipts about balance the expenses and there
will be no profit. 1t has been estimated
that the total expenses were IN the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and the receipts about
the same amount. The salaries OF the off,
GERS of the State Beard win probably have
to be paid out of the reserve fund.
The fair grounds yesterday displayed a
scene of hustling by the exhibitors, who
were busy packing their exhibits and ship
ping them away. There was a small at
tendance, but the exhibits were all shipped
away during the day.
There was some talk of the match race
between Anaconda and Searchlight on FRI
day, which ended so unfavorably. Horse
men say the owners of Anaconda will ap-
peal to the National Trotting Association,
claiming that the decision Of the associa-
ton in placing the distance flag at forty
yards from the wire was an arbitrary rul-
ing and outside the provisions of the Ma
tional Trotting Association rules. The reg
ular distance mark is eighty yards and
horsemen say there is a doubt as to
whether the fair association had right to
place the distance flag at forty yards, I'M
der which Anaconda was distanced.
1t was acknowledged that the race was a
serious mistake, and the drivers of the two
horses had said before the race that their
PAGERS were in no condition TO make race.
This was known to the officials and those
interested in the matter said an announce
ment should have been made that the
horses would go on the track and do the
best they could under the circumstances.
But no announcement was made, and the
crowd was thoroughly disguised with the
