DATE OF FAIR CHANGED.

At meeting of the ColoradoNew
Mexico Fair association last night the
date Of the fair was changed from
September 81, 22 and 23 to September
2S. 20 and 30. The change was neces-
sary because the ID. & r. G. would not
make special rates to Durango for the
former dates inasmuch as such rates
would conflict with the fairs at Monte
Vista and Montrose, which had been
granted before application was made
by Durango.
The privilege for selling canes. rub
ber goods. toy balloons, ETC., was sold
to F. NJ. Chilson OF Denver, and the
privilege OF selling score cards was
disposed OF to Gene Mckinney Of Du-
range.
Arrangements were made with
Charles Taylor OF Montezuma valley
to collect and display products of the
valley at the fair.
A sum OF money was appropriated
by resolution to defray the expense Of
transportation OF the San Juan, New
Mexico exhibits at both the Farming
ton and Aztec fairs to Durango for
exhibition here. Judge Pendleton Of
fers to do this at his own expense and
afterwards to take the whole display
to Albuquerque for exhibition. The fair
board thought It no more than proper
to volunteer their proportion Of this
expense and expressed q willingness
to do likewise with other extensive e.
hibits.
