while the attendance was not so large as
usual on the second day. which is al
ways the largest. it was fair and to-
days attendance was perhaps little
better than the usual closing day. One
feature of the fair this year was the
absence from accidents of any sort and
this feature was remarked upon by
many. Today's crowd was quiet and
orderly and everyone seemed to be
here for the purpose of having a good
time but not to make any disturb

there were about 1000 people on the
grounds which is an average crowd
for the last day.
This forenoon the attractions were

SELLS TELEPHONE STOCK.
Postal Telegraph Company Acts in
Difference to Public Opinion.

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE annual
report Of the Mackay Companies was Is
sued yesterday.
A striking feature of the report is the
following extract announcing the intend
ed sale OF Bell Telephone stock now held
by the Mackay Companies:
1.-The Mackay Companies will sell it's
entire holding Of stock In the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company. that
step being in Difference to public opinion,
which Views with suspicion this large
holding Of stock in company which has
recently purchased the control OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Moreover, that stock was acquired by
the Mackay Companies with q view to
bringing about economies in the con-
struction and maintenance of joint pole
lines over long stretches of country,
where the business was not sufficient to
justify either company constructing an
Independent pole line by itself. Many
such arrangements were made, each COM
pany owning one-half of the pole line but
having nothing to do with the business
of the other company.
.Since, however. the American -Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company has &C
quired control of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, the time has come for
the Mackay Companies to sell its holdings
of stock in the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. and that will be
done. The Postal Telegraph system will
continue to be free and Independent, pre-
pared to maintain the competition which
1t has furnished for twenty-five years."
