THE FAIR ASSURED.
Majority of Directors Elected AT
Meeting Yesterday.

contrary, it is increasing, and sell
dom, indeed, has any project been
so heartily endorsed and so enthu-
siastically taken hold of by the
public as has the one looking to-
ward the organization of a County
Fair to be held at Cambridge. There
were many persons who did not be-
lieve it would be possible to get the
stock subscribed, and the discus
sion in the beginning took a turn
toward ascertaining the smallest
amount upon which it would be
possible to start creditable Fair
Association.
The situation has entirely CHI
ed; it is no longer a question OF
how little can you start upon, but,
instead, what amount is needed to
organize a strictly high-class Coun-
ty Fair Association; one that will
be a credit to the county, and of
which the citizens of the county
may be proud. Capital stock to
the amount of $4,000 has already
been subscribed, and there are more
than enough subscriptions promised
from reliable and responsible per-
sons to bring this total beyond the
$4,000 mark.
The second meeting of the stock
holders in the proposed Association
was held yesterday, at the Hotel
Dorchester, and was even more
largely attended than the one of
the previous week. After the tenn
porary secretary, Mr.. Bradley, had
read the minutes of the former
meeting, and had placed the house
in possession of the information con-
corning thee proposed organiza-
ton up to the time of the meeting,
a motion was made that committe
composed of six members, two from
the Grange, two from the Driving
Association, and two from the
Board of Trade, be named to nomi-
nate fifteen directors. The Commit
tee named was composed of the fol-
lowing: For the Grange, Albert
H. Smith and Arthur X. Austin for
the Driving Club, Daniel B. LeCom-
pte and j. Fred Dunn; for the
Board of Trade, ]. R. D. Collins
and Vernon S. Bradley. The Com
mittee retired to the ante-room,a and
later reported back to the stock
holders, making the following recon

Committee was unanimously accep-
ted and the gentlemen named in
their report elected.
Mr.. Gilbert Porter offered reso-
luton that it was the sense of the

Indecent or improperly suggestive
and gambling in all
forms, be excluded from the Fair
grounds, and that all contracts
should contain a clause permitting
such contracts to be cancelled if 1t
should be found that these rules
were being violated. The motion
was laid upon the table, as on ac-
count of the fact that the Associa-
ton had not legally organized, it
was thought that this was not the
time to take up this question, and
further it was believed that the
Board of Directors could be left
to deal with this question.
Provision for the election of the
ten directors was made
by a resolution, which empowered
the Directors already named to
make recommendations for ten
other Directors, the names to be
to the stockholders at
the meeting next Tuesday.
The matter of the selection of a
site was placed in the hands OF
the Board of Directors, three sites
being submitted: One from Skin
ner & Noble, comprising a portion
of the Algonquin Manor tract; one
from the Dixie Realty Co., COM
prising the old Hambrooks Racing
Track, and the third from Messrs.
E. S. Lake and Milford Nathan, COM
prising a portion of the Allaire
farm.
