The proposition of the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders association
to donate 5000 for special premiums
tor Hereford cattle was accepted, the
fair association agreeing to add at
least as much TO this department. The
secretary is in correspondence with
firms with a view to adding to this
amount other sum-. for special pre-
miums, and it is likely hat several
hundred dollars will be added in this
way.
A ways n means committee was
appointed to have charge of the de-
tails OF the fair.
Secretary Mckee was directed by
resolution of the board to correspond
with a view to securing amusement
attractions at the fair grounds during
the three days of the fair. The races
will be held in the afternoon, as usual.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Miller, Beemer, Eykyn and Mckee was
appointed to prepare the premium
list, and the committee will ask the
help and counsel of every member Of
the association in its preparation, with
a view to covering every point pos

ISOLATION, in fact, will be asked to
share the burden of the conduct of the
whole fair with the trustees. The
work will be divided up into depart
ments and members of the association
placed in charge, this effecting a saw

sonal interest in everything hat goes
on, will see that the best is gotten

The merchants will be asked to give
special premiums from their stocks,
which will swell the value of the pre-
NUNS and at the same time tend to
stimulate the competition and the plac.
ing of a largely increased number of
articles in the list. The merchants
will also be urged to make trade dis
plays of their wares in booths on the
grounds, to the end that they may
advertise their stores n gain the
benefit that would be theirs from the
presence of a large number of visitors
in the city.
The ticket system will be somewhat
revised, making it possible for pur-
chasers to visit the stock and other
displays in the forenoon and leave the
grounds for luncheon, returning in
the afternoon for the races and exhi-
billions without additional cost. Last

Ticket purchasers will be expected to
use their tickets ali day of the date
of sale.
The trustees discussed a good deal
of routine business, none of which is
now that the third meeting of the as
s%ociation will be made more success
full than the first two, although each
was a very creditable meeting. The
members of the board have begun
early and are meeting with generous
encouragement both from the other
shareholders and from the general
public, the merchants, especially, TAX
ing a lively interest in the matter.
Active work will be commenced at
once and continued until the close of
