directors more time to give to the
show proper.
The pavilion was built last year at
an approximate cost of 1900. whicn
cost added to the other expenses not
only ate up the earnings of previous
shows but left a deficit of nearly
$4,000. If good fortune attends the
show of 1917, the directors hope to
break nearly even this year.
