cial meeting OF the Wake county COM

that the circus slipped In here and

perfect right to revoke the license,
The circus people say that its presence
will not cause any loss TO the fair; that
IL never slipped in; that it has already
made contracts amounting to several
thousand dollars for the exhibition,
and that under its itinerary IL cannot
change its date; that the board cam
not change the license or revoke IL,
as ii is a contract with the county.
and that the board cannot undo what
IL had not the power to do
Both sides were represented by the
ablest Of lawyers and the whole mat
ter was thoroughly gone into and
every phase discussed. The board
left the matter open for another week
TO see IL a compromise agreement be-
tween the fair and the circus could
not be reached.
