$1,000 was the result Mr. Stuart stated
that In placing fair stock he had never
recommended it as q dividend-payer, and,
in fact never held out Inducements to
the purchase of any stock. Apropos of
the panic in railroad and industrial
stocks, the speaker suggested that many
citizens would be better off had they
invested in the stock of this fair instead
of in any other stocks.
Continuing Mr. Stuart expressed the
confident belief that the jamestown lex
position instead of initiating against
the success of the State Fair, would
operate to enhance interest In it, to In
crease attendance and enlarge exhibits
and participation. He admitted having
had the blues for a few days, but soon
recovered, and now that the first eXhibi-
ton had been such n success, he had
no fears whatever as to the future The
success of the fair in future was practi-
cally assured.
