THIRD ANNUAL FAIR TO
 BE HELD ON SEPT. 18th

Pursuant to a call in the Daily Alaskan yesterday @ meeting of the citizens of Skagway was held ill the town hall last night at o'clock which, while not attended as num- crOusly as could have been wished, nevertheless went ahead with the business of making arrangements fer the holding of the third annual hor- ttcuIturaI and agricultural fair in Skagway, and got everything to moving in the right direction in fair ly good shape.
 All the old officers of the asso- citation were continued in their places with the exception of the secretary, to which position F, J.. Van de Wall was elected, to sue ceed Bert Howdishell, who is now living in Juneau.
 It was decided to hold the third annual fair of the association on Saturday, the l2th day of September, and for one day only, instead of two as has been done heretofore.
 Premiums and cash prizes are to be offered by the association, by the merchants of the town and by individuals as well, particulars and a full list of which will be given in a later issue of this paper.
 After some discussion it was de- ctded to preserve in glass jars the best of the vegetable exhibits and to send them to the Panama-Paci- lie International Exposition at san Francisco next year. It was also suggested that at some future meet ing the mater of making permanent exhibits at Skagway, Seattle and San Francisco be taken up.
 President o. L. Dickson of the W. P. S Y. R., said that two bar reIs of preserving solution had al ready been ordered by that com pauy for the purpose of preparing an exhibit to be placed in its offices at Seattle, Vancouver and San Francisco, and that there would be enough to supply the horticultural and agricultural association with as much as it would need. The exhibits would be label ed with the names of the growers and the places where raised.
 Nr. Dickeson stated that the same rates would be given over the raiI and steamboat lines of the w. P. G Y. R. as were in force last year. and that all exhibits from the in terior points would be transported free of charge.
 Applications for space should be made to the secretary, P. J. Van de Wall

 It was voted to have. an open meet ing at the Girls club room in the iSaunn building on Tuesday evening at which time every one who is to join the new tribe is invited to be present.
 Another matter discussed at the meeting Tuesday evening was the holding of an entertainment and dance at the Fairfield pavilion on the beach, At this entertainment and dance the members of the order of Brid Eeport, Stratford and Milford will be invited and the affair will be open to the ladies.
 William L. Gould. Raymond Ran dall and Isaac Book will report on possible entertainments to be held at the shore before the season closes. E. l..

If he can scale 1S0 he will be able to give MT Johnson about the hardest con- test he has ever indulged in Even with Johnson advancing fn age. he will probably find 1t easier now to battle with Langford than two years ago. for Sam appears to h4te been going back during that time and will not be the tough tar baby he was pre- viously- Probably Johnson knows this and is willing to take s chance now where he would not two years ago, wien Joe Woodman made him practically. the same offer that they are now fighting for.
