fair chance of bringing the district

FAIR MEETING
FOR TONIGHT
Stockholders Will Elect Officers
and Directors for En-.
suing Year

There will be meeting tonight at
the Commercial club rooms of the
stockholders OF the Lewiston Interstate
Fair and Racing association. The
is for the purpose OF selecting
the officers and directors OF the ass0-
citation for the ensuing year. Many
matters OF importance will be taken up
at the session tonight and arrange
ments will be made for the early insti-
tuition OF the work for the coming fall
meet. Much more interest will be dis
played this year than ever before in
making this years fair the largest. the
best and the most complete ever given.
The work of the directors and officers
OF the fair last year is highly commend
able and they deserve much praise for
tbe success which attended IT, There
are many Of the officers and directors
who feel that this year the work may
be turned over to others who are menu
bers OF the association that new ideas
may be infected in'o the coming fair.
One of the principal matters that
will corne nD fo- discussion at the
meeting tonight win be the arranging
OF dates for this year. II has been sug-
gested that six days be selected some
time during October. Lewiston was
unfortunate in not receiving dates dur
ing the meeting of the North Pacific
Fair association. though this city was
one Of the first IN enter into the as
sociation. II is believed that the me-
plect Of give Lewiston a date was
resentative ut the meeting. I: viii
make little difference. however and the
date can be so ARE nged that horsemen
may be able to reach Lewiston without
any inconvenience. II has been sug-
gested that the proper dates for the fair
could be arranged between October 10
to IS inclusive which date is directly
after the Spokane fair date. This will
give the horsemen n chance to come
this way without serious inconvenience.
If the above dates are selected ii will
interfere with the Walla Walla dates
but since the Wana Walla fair entered
the association later than the Lewis
ton fair ii is doing that city no in
justice.
The present officers of the fair asso-
citation are D. ]. Mcriilvery. president;
c. F, Allen, vice president: Van w.
| Hasbrouck. secretary: DR.. j. F.. Ray,
| treasurer. The officers with the fol-
| lowing persons make up the present
