terest, coming frCm MI Felix Brug
helli This is that next year the cele
LIation should take the form of a
county fair, in which all Larts of this
island should have a share and which
would last over at least two days. II
is proposed to ask the county super
visors to take hand in support of the
proposition and probably to incorpo
rate a county fair association which
will have as stockholders the proml-
nent business men or firms Of the city
and which will have complete charge
of the management of the affair.
In the various states of the main
land, county and state fairs are annual
events which attract great crowds and
furnish amusement of all kinds for the
public. Horse racing, sports of all
kinds vie with agricultural exhibits
and sideshows, and the association
handling the proposition is generally
one which pays interest on the invest
ment, besides placing a gread deal Of
money in circulation, which is natur-
ally of great benefit to the commun-
ity.
