looking after preliminary matters IN con-
neetion with the fair and attending to
the correspondence. The committee is
also negotiating for the services Of one Of
the principal local bands. which will fur
nish music on each Of the four days.
Some Of the local manufacturers have
indicated a desire to have space al the
fair and it is said that several contem-
plate having large exhibitions under their
own canvas.

expresses the belief that the attendance
during the four days will reach 10000
