cident to mar the pleasure of the three
days of fun and profit, for these fairs
are profitable to all who attend.

est praise. All the events were pull
ed off with a promptness that was
gratifying. Next year will see even
a better fair, for the experience gain
ed is an asset that goes into the max
ing of success.
The following officers wers elected
for next year:
