Must save Coupons.
Chairman William H. Franklin. Of the
ticket committee. IN checking up the cou-
pons on season tickets. discovered that
many OF the holders of these tickets who
had not used them on the first night had
torn on the coupons for that night. and
with il the auditors coupon, which ear
ried on it the number Of the ticket to be
used for various purposes
He said holders OF these tickets should
bear ia mind that the auditors coupon
is needed by the fair management. as It
practically constitutes the voice for the
disposal of the house on Irving street,
and the other valuable gifts carried on
season tickets are concerned. and if they
are lost the tickets are void, so far as
the gifts are concerned. He therefore
requests such season ticket holders as
have torn off the auditors coupons to
mail them to him
