Board Held Meeting
This morning there was a short
business meeting of the board OF d.
rectors, several matters having aris-
en- which demanded immediate con-
sideration. ,One of these was a pro-
test made on the judging in the Jer-
sew cattle department. The matter
was gone over very carefully but no
decision was made before adjourn
ment. It is believed that the Ques-
ton will disposed of satisfactori-
ly to all concerned.
All directors are we'll pleased with
the fair and at the close of the meet
ing. President F. L. Goodman of the
Grand Forks Agricultural society
said:
"The fai rhas been a complete sue
cess and financially we are In q great
deal better condition than even the
most sanguine member of our board
had ,hoped to be. w ebelieved that 1t
woul dbe a case of having to make up
a deficiency at the close Of the fair
hit in this now think that we were
mistaken. Our attendance has been
so much greater than we had ever
hoped for that this condition has been
brought ahout
"While a comparatively new resi-
dent of Grand Forks. feel sure that
we have sent the people away better
satisfied than ever before. This morn
ing l have met several people who
have told me that they came here just
because others from their locality
had come home with such glowing
reports of the fair that they could no
longer resist the temptation but had
70 come here. They had no intention
of coming until told by neighbors
and friends of the excellence of the
show offered.
Eve have given the people a fair
which has been Just exactly as ad-
yertised. Our attractions were Of the
very finest and the aeroplane flights
by Arch Hoxsey have even far ex-
ceeded our own hopes and ambitions.
The fair has been a complete success
and we have Just cause for jubila-
tion as result"
All Arrangements Satisfactory
One very splendid feature of the
fair week has been the manner in
which the visitors have been handled
TO and from the fair grounds. In past
wears this has always caused a delay
hut the conditions we're greatly diff
ferent this year. The street, cars had
seven minute service and carried
thousands of people; the Northern
Pacific railway ran trains regularly
and also carried great many people
while a large number made use of
the automobiles. BY this combina-
tion service there was absolutely no
DELAY anywhere and the visitors were
enabled to get to and from the grounds
At will and without difficulty.
