for the fair association Of about $4,000.
While there are many returns yet to
come in. such as the money taken in BY
railroad companies. ETC., he cash re-
ceipts at the grounds are at hand, and
they make a very good showing com
pared with the fair Of last year., which
was supposed to be something remark
able in point Of financial success. Last
year the fair profits were $4,000, and
while the figures given above do not
show an increase Of quite $4,000, the re-
ceipts for privileges this year will be
fully 81, 900 more than last, and the rail-
roads have taken in more money which
must be added. The state fair officials
estimate hat this years profits Will be
$15,0 600, a gain Of IS, 1000 over last year.
The expenses were much heavier this
