therefore | have this explanation
10 offer. In the Iirst place l wish
to saw that / was, to some extent,
connected with the fair that was
nulled of here some four or hVe
weeks ago, and since that time
have been assisting the secretary
and other officers endeavor TO find
out exactly how many people at
tended the fair. After working
day and night for several weeks
we at last came TO the CONCLUSION
that it was useless to further the
investigation as it was found that
the ticket seller ran ont OF tickets
the second day, that the people
we've so anxious TO get thru the
gate that he had no time to secure
the used tickets from The gate
keepers, and had given orders to
admit all with or without the pass
word so all we know is the peo-
ole were here. The seventeen
acres we had provided, thinking
this was ample space for Kentucky
day at the State Fair, was filled
so full that there was not room
for a cross eyed man to "bat his
eve" The investigation shows
conclusively that the fair with all
she had to undergo, being the
first attempt under the new name,
facing all kinds of opposition,
false reports and numerous set
backs, made good and has some
TO spare. 1t will be remembered
that the first and third days were
anything but fair days, but We
all now realize that had these day:
been as favorable as the second We
would have been busy until thu
