TRENTON, Sept. S, 19o5.-Pr Prelimin-
airy arrangements for the exhibition Of
the Interstate Fair which will be held
at Trenton, September .25. 26, %, % and
29, are already fully matured. and at
recent meetings of the Board of Direct
ors of the Association plans were decided
upon for several new features and extea-
sive Improvements to the grounds and
buildings
At a meeting of the Board of Direct
ors held early in the present month
resolution was passed which is intended
to prevent the wholesale sealping of tick
cts which has been so generally complain
ed of in the past. The scheme to foil the
scalpers provides that all tickets for ev-
cry day of the exhibition, except one
section each for Wednesday and Thurs
day, for the grand stand, shall be dis
posed of by the mail order method. This
sale will open September and will close
September a. No letter for tickets
mailed before September will be hon
ored by the agent in charge of the selling
George Bower, to whom the orders are
sent Each letter must be accompanied
by cash or its guaranteed equivalent.
Not more than six tickets will be re-
served for one person. The choice of
seats will be determined according to the
priority of the postmark on the letter.
If several letters are postmarked at the
same time, the seats will be distributed
as the letters are opened and without con-
sideration to the writer.
ANY tickets which may be left unsold
in the mail order system will be placed
on sale at the fair grounds the day for
which they are issued.
The sections in the grand stand re
served for Wednesday and Thursday
will be placed ON sale at the grounds at
O'Clock, Wednesday and Thursday
mornings. This plan was adopted that
those living ouside of Trenton may have
an opportunity to get good seats as late
as the day they attend the fair.
The directors also decided to change
the price of seats for Big Thursday. On
that day only the grand stand chairs
will cost 81 each, and those in the club
house section will be sold for 50. This
rule was also adopted as a check to
spectators. The prices other days will
be so cents for the grand stand and 81
for the clubhouse.
The auction sale Of boxes Will take
place Thursday afternoon, September IA,
at O'Clock at the grounds. The sale of
booth and dining privileges will be held
at the grounds the afternoon of Satur-
day, September 9, at 2 o'clock.
One of the features of the Fair this
year will be dog show of extensive pro-
portions. To make the show thorough
success the Fair Association has joined
the American Kennel Club. and this af-
| filiation will bring to Trenton during fair
week the very best dogs in the land. To
provide for this feature department, q
new structure is being erected which will
have room for more than thousand
dogs.
Secretary Mahlon R. Margerum has
| planned additions to all the usual at
tractive Departments, and the display
this year in the agricultural, fancy work
art, live stock and other branches will be
greatly augmented. The vaudeville fea
ture will present daily entirely new at
fractions from the selected fields of this
and foreign countries.
