Biggest and Best Ever
Attempted.

DENT OF THE FAIR ASSOCiA-
VARIOUS COMMITTEES.

A meeting of the Hagerstown Fair
board was held Wednesday afternoon,
at which business of importance was
transacted in the interest of the com
ing fair, July next, The members
of the association are enthusiastic in
their belief that the coming event will
be the biggest and best since the initial
exhibition, and as an evidence of their
faith in the success of the fair, appro-
priated the sum of 81 800 to be arrang-
ed in purses as racing premiums. This
is the largest appropriation ever made
by the association for this purpose.
The board also is contemplating and
considering the feasibility or adding a
staked race to an already assured eX-
cellent speed program. No effort will
be spared from this early date until the
wheels of the fair are in motion to
give to the people an exhibition in all
departments, that will meet with the
approval and merit the patronage and
support of the public. In announC-
ing their intention of giving the people
the biggest and best fair yet held, the
association will labor earnestly and
increasingly to the accomplishment of
that end.
With but one or two exceptions, the
officers chosen to conduct the business
of the association. the board of direc-
tors, and the superintendents of the
various departments, are the same as
last year and are as follows:

In his address yesterday Captain

forced to close its doors, and gave a
recital of them up to the time that the

Captain Berkeley's argument was
along the line that the wreckins OF the
bank resulted from the alleged gross
negligence OF the officers and direc

tend to the affairs of the institution
II is said that the evidence in the
case shows that the directors had no;
held a meeting during the two years
preceding the closing of the doors OF
the bank.
