TANT LINES.

At meeting OF the directorate OF
the Interstate Fair yesterday, every
thing reported pointed to the sue
cess Of the big undertaking. The
resignation of the president was with
drawn, and, as one of them said, that
alone spells success with a big let
ter. Then the premium list was made
larger and better by the additional
special prizes offered. The date was
set for November to IL and all is
now closed in the way of prelimi-
naries, with the exception Of the site,
the committee not making final re-
port.
Additional premiums were secured
Jby General Manager Storrs and the
same gentleman will circulate among
the business and professional men
today in the hope of getting even
more premiums, to make the compe-
tition just as sharp and therefore as
interesting as possible. Such an an
nouncement was made when the di-
rectors met here Thursday.
The meeting yesterday was also the
result of great good when the pYesi-
dent, Hon. John e. Stfllman, was pre-
vailed upon to recall mis- resignation,
Mr.. Stillman rendered his resignation
as president about a month ago, but

upon him to withdraw 1t, and he did
SO, for the present, at least. He is
therefore the associations president.
The site committee was given mora
time to make report, but 1t was made
known to the association that Kup-
fTian'S park had been rendered free,
and while there was nothing given
out as Warranting any certainty that
the offer would be accepted, it is
known that the offer appealed with
much favor on account of the cleo
tTic car line facilities.
The fact that special premiums ]
were possible, and would be offered,
stirred General Manager Storrs to ac.
tion yesterday and at 5 o'clock last
evening he had secured qufte.a num-
per of prizes for special features of,
the exhibition. These are some of
