those present, for . few moments, to
explain his position relati=e to the
published censures of the investigat-

previous meeting, and concluded his
remarks with a suggestion that COM
plimentary tickets for the year 1906
be abolished; that a committee be 2p-
pointed to visit all those subscribers,
who, this year, asked for compliment
tary tickets. and sell them a cor
responding number of season tickets,
good for the 1906 fair, at the price of
81 per ticket, good for one admission,
it being estimated that 1900 compli-
mentary admissions passed through
the gates this year, and if 1,200 of
these same parties would now pur-
chase season tickets for next year, in
lieu of the complimentaries they had
heretofore asked for, enough would be
raised to pay the deficit of the last
two fairs.
