TEN CENTS ADMISSION
The directors of the association have
decided TO place the charge for door
entrance 10 the SHOW ~ TIC AohAAAaA
sum OF 10 cents per person. This was
agreed upon after considerable discus
sion. several of the directors contend-
ing that patrons Of the show would
see an exhibition nearly twice as large
as that of a number OF shows where
rs and so cents admission has been
charged. and that certainly they would
be glad to expend at least rs cents TO
witness an exhibition upon such a
grand scale as this one VIII be. The
advocates OF the ten cents admission
fee finally won, however on the ground
that the exhibition is by no means a
money making venture. but an instruct-
i've exhibition which all alike should
be allowed to witness, even IL the as
sociatiOn, bearing the heavy expense Of
staging such a mammoth show, with
such large and expensive prizes. should
lose a little money on IT.

great interest to the public in general
and prospective exhibitors in particular
is that the services of the Spratt's
Patent Limited of Newark. N. J., have
been secured to coop and feed the en-
trants and exhibits. This firm has
