with the attendance at the fair To-Day
there was a very good fnal-day crowd
on hand, which helped materially to
swell the receipts of the four-day ex-
hibition. While accounts have not yet
been balanced, the officials believe that
the fair has been big financial sue
cess.
The annual fair ball of the young
