representation, over SIS, 900 of the stock
being represented at the meeting,

faith in the enterprise and gives full
assurance that the fair OF 1907 will
be a hummer.
The meeting was called to order by
President H. Wertheimer, who an

officers and directors, listening to the
report OF the treasurer and transactng
such other business as might properly
come before the meeting
While the report on the financial
condition of the association did not
show any great cash balance, the
me- mbers of the association have no
reason to feel in the least discouraged,
considering the fact of the improve
ments that. have been made, also that
the fair is but an infant-two years
old. 1t will grow and become pow
ar. The officers and stockholders last
evening displayed confidence in the
great future success of the fair. es-
pecially after the advent of the IN

Mr.. Mulberger made few remarks
when the question of a compensation
for the secretary was brought up.
he said that while he had devoted
much time to the duties involved and
was at an expense, he would not con-
| ,ider the question of compensation,
out was willing to give his services
for another year, believing in the ulti-
mate success of the fair. Mr.. Null

The secretary also spoke of the neces-

surprised by reason of the amount of
"knocking' against the fair by our

Main street.
The question of date for the 1907
length. 1t was finally decided to hold
he local fair the week after the state
fair at Milwaukee, therefore the dates
for the Watertown far will be Sept.
II, 18, 10 and 20.
The question of "open' or "closed"
| fair was another matter discussed at
some length. The opinions expressed
we're about equally divided. The
matter rests with the officers and
directors. Should the special bill
giving aid to the Watertown associa-
ton pass the legislature and the fair
accepts the aid, the law will not
permit the sale Of liquors, org ambling.
