An important decision has
been reached concerning the
selling of tickets for the Four
Hundred Day Clock by the
young ladies who are competing
for the prizes, and that is that
the selling of tickets will stop on
Saturday the 25th at noon: un-
der no Circumstances will there
be any tickets sold after the Fair
opens. The young ladies have
been notified of this decision, and
all are striving their utmost to-
dispose of the greatest possible
number of tickets before the
closing hour. It is to be hoped
that all who have not yet bought
any tickets will not hesitate to
buy now, for there will be none
for sale after Saturday the 25th
at noon. !"
