ON
PLANS FOR
The BIG FAIR

committee last night at the Board of
Trade rooms good deal Of discussion
was had as to the proper method of
entertainment to be provided for the
visitors attending the cherry fair on
July IL, 70 and 13 next. Several of
those present spoke in favor of Sc
curing the Arnold shows while 9TH
ers favored furnishing the enter
tainment by local talent, and have it
free, Several spoke Of how COM
plants had come to them of the
shows at previous fairs and were anx-
icus to eliminate that objectional fea-
ture for the coming exhibition, while
others thought there would not be
enough amusements for the young
people unless some amusement COM
pany, such as Arnolds, should be on
hand Walter Stolz proved to be the
champion against having an amuse-
ment company come, settling the
matter by the introduction of a reso-
luton which, if followed, will elm
mate all amusements except that fur
nished by local talent. 1t was
claimed by some that with the pres
ence of an amusement company, the
picture shows have but little patron
age, which idea was borne out by
the statements of several and it vas
thought II the picture shows and 9TH
er places affected would contribute
as much as the amusement company,
that there could be no objection to
making all entertainments local.
