i.a dist. .... the tickets mas
as.t pIac.1 H. .. Is Of the finance
committee an4 kwill &c pushed
*. .oan a. lo... by be prepared
and cort..-.. g.. time the fair
or-ns in the fall. Large numbers Of
tickets will be placed in all the banks
in the county and advertised for sale
They also will be placed on sale at
many prominent stores throughout The
county.
We want to give the farmers Of
the ccuEty an opportunity to buy the
family tickets at an early date, So that
they may be sure to have the advan-
taGc of the low price of admission that
the ticket carries President Rage
declared last night.
The board Of directors passed
resolution last night declaring that
none of the family tickets will be sold
10 anyone after Tuesday Of fair week,
so that it is essential for men to buy
in advance. By taking the tickets
early, it gives the fair association
some working capital that we can use
20 good advantage in getting the en-
tcrprise under way.
81 feel more certain now than ever
that the fair this fall is going to be
one Of the biggest things that VIC have
seen in Cape County for years and
years. The men are getting into the
harness in good shape and | expect to
see much work done in the next few
weeks in furthering the interests of
the fair"
The family ticket will admit the
purchaser with his wife and children.
At the time that he makes the pur-
chase, the number OF children he has
will be marked in on the ticket and
a record thereof kept as check against
any abuse Of the privileges Of the fam
lily ticket.
The committee on premiums was
authorized last night 70 take over the
entire work of revising the fair cata-
locuc. This will be done at meeting

Monday afternoon.
Following the revision Of the cata-
logue the board of directors will hold
a meeting Thursday, June %, when
