REPORT ON THE FooD FAIR. Members of
the Belfast Board of Trade who were present
at the meeting last Friday evening were much
pleased with the report made by Ralph D..
Southworth treasurer Of the Belfast Board OF
Trade and the Belfast Food Fair, recently held
in the Opera House. The reports showed that
the real balance on hand from the 1913 fair
amounted to $383.24, several bills having been
paid following the report made on the fair.
The expenses of the fair this year amounted
to $1,086 16. the greater part of which was
spent in the city. proving that large amount
of money is annually placed in local circulation
during this fair. The total amount in the
bank at this time is $2922s with other assets
of booth rentals amounting to $63, or tota,'
of $S5528. Notwithstanding the severe spel
of weather which limited the attendance the
receipts only fell behind $2s. which is remark
able in view of the circumstances. The ex-
penses of the agricultural department. from
which there was no revenue, amounted to $50,
and this was an additional expense over that
of the first year. The total assets show that
the fair is a profitable institution for Belfast.
