ing towards "No. I" Fair
There was no particular business re-
curing its attention beyond hearing COM
mittee reports of progress. The committees
of gentlemen and of ladies reported fair
progress in getting up premium list.
So far it is sure that S4oo to $500 will
be pledged for prizes on the various ex-
hibits The list was still not far enouoh
made up so as to turn it over to the
printer to make up the intended
catalogue. This was deferred till next
Saturday, the 18th, when the association
and the board of directors will meet
again in the hope that the list will be
completed and contract with the printer
entered into.
Arrangements are on foot to have lunch
stands on the ground to be presided over
by the school folks. The funds from
these stands go to purchasing supplies tor
use in the school rooms and the stands
will be patronized, for they will be pre-
sided over personally by the beauties OF
out town. Young gentlemen, when you
visit our mo I" fair fill your purses
with the "chinks," for your girl will have
her attention drawn to the nice things
on the table.
