has heretofore been used by the Valley
Fair association.
Mr.. Gale thought it would be neces.
sary to call another meeting as there
was nothing in the warrant covering
the subject, and Mr.. Benson said the
idea was to get the sense of the meet
| ing and that another meeting would
be called.
The question of whether it was de.
sired to continue the fair was then
brought up by w. +. Robertson of
lIinsdale, N. H., who declared that he
had acquired the name of Father
Gloom. lie said people were not at.
tending fairs as much as formerly.
Mr.. Holden did not agree with Mr..
Robertson and asserted that there was
not fair in the New England circuit
but what had fully as large an attend
ance last year as ever, except where the
weather was had
On, motion of Mr.. Stowe that it was
the sense of the meeting that the fair
be kept up every man excepting Mr..
Robertson declared himself, by rising
vote, in favor of keeping up the fair,
Mr., Robertson voting in the negative,
although later he signed up for stock
in new corporation.
Dennison Cowles favored q reorgani-
zation He said 90 per cent of the
l. 1,11 Al.
put in was lost, so there would be no
sacrifice in recognizing, and that
there was no other way out.
1t was then voted that reorganiza-
tion be effected.
Attorney Barber stated that it would
be advisable to postpone the election
of officers until the new organization
was formed. Apparently forgetting
that he was not in court, he turned to
President Benson and said: 81 would
suggest, Your Honor, that we adjourn
subject to the call of the president. -
Mr.. Holden, who is the largest stock
holder, moved that the committee
which drafted the resolution he con
tnued in office to see if new stock
could oe sold, and the motion was car
red without objection.
1t was then voted TO take a recess
subject to the call of the president
within 80 days. A subscription paper
for stock in new fair association was
then opened and was largely signed.
Articles of association for new cor
poration have been drawn up, which will
be sent to the secretary of state, and
notice to the stockholders was sent out
yesterday calling meeting to take delin.
lite legal action whereby the proner,y of
the association may be acquired by the
new corporation. This notice reads as
/ follows:
