poARD HAD No RIGHT TO
BLOCK LEASE OF GROUNDS.

The refusal of the Administrative
Board to permit certain departments
to vacate buildings on the State Fair
Grounds in order that horses being
gathered here to be shipped to the
Allies might be stabbed there, was n
source of great disappointment to the
Fair Directors. a large amount OF
money which might have been spent
in Richmond. the Fair people say,
has been diverted to other cities.
The Fair Directors have had the
following statement prepared and fur
uished the press by their publicity de-
partment:
Representatives Of one of the for
eign countries now engaged in war
had practically closed "A contract for
the use Of the fair grounds and had
made arrangements to erect temper
AIRY sheds and stalls ON the fair

lay the horses here for several DAYS
