INTEREsT.

I 3
At the annual meeting Of the Brown
County Agricultural Society held at the.
Commercial Club rooms Tuesday eve
ming, Nov. Is, it was definitely decided
to build a concrete grand stand this
year and President Ferd. Crone was
empowered to appoint a committee
consisting of himself and other members
OF. the Association to look after the
building project. A Woman's building
is also among the Improvements contem-
plated but no definite action was taken
by the Association nat the annual meeting.
1t Is understood, however, that. if the
finances Of the Society warrant this
also that the directors
have a Woman's building erected this
year also.
To Cost $1,000.
According to Pres Crone the new
grand stand will cost in, the neighbor-
hood Of SIS, 900 1t is to be built Of
concrete and will be 16O by48 and have
seating capacity d. z, 900. As the total
cash available asset of the society is
only trife over $4,000 it will be alb
solutely necessary to raise it at least
81 5000 more to pay forthe grand stand
and if such sum should be raised then
the directors will be encouraged to also
seriously consider the building Of a Wo-
mans building to be completed for the
next. annual Fair which will be the
'50th annua Fair held by the Brown Coun-
ty Agricultural Society. Because the
next is the 5Oth annual Fair special efforts
will be made to make it wort hWhile
one and also to erectsand complete BY
chat time the grand stand and if posi-
BILE, also the Woman's building.
Raise Stock to $15,0
To raise this additional $40, 900 it was
decided to increasethe capital stock of
the Society to $4,000 land as only
So, 800 worth of stock has been sold so
far it is hoped that by concertedand united
efforts an additional $4,000 worth of
stock be placed so that the expense of
the grand stand will be taken care OF.
To dispose Of this additional stock a
committee Of s is to be appointed by the
President who are expected to go to
work at once witha will and get the stock
subscribed. 1t is believed that the
committee will not meet with very
much difficulty because no stock. has
been sold in the city of New Ulm for
upwards of 20 years and there should be
"a large number of citizens found mot
only in New Ulm but also in the sur
rounding country who have no stock
at all and who are willing to help along
a proposition which has proven it's worth
Whileness. For the purpose Of helping
along the sale Of stock the matter Of issu-
ing an admission ticket for each share
of stock held by the stockholders Of the
Society was discussed at length but voted
down. This matter, however, Will be
again considered at subsequent direc-
tors meeting and if it should develop
that it would be a good plan to offer
that inducement to stockholders the
directors may adopt such a resolution.
Township s Exhibits Encouraged.
In the matter Of plans for improving,
the Fair it was suggested that town
ship exhibits would be a great drawing
card and this matter was referred to the
Board Of Directors for final action as
also was the naming Of the second day of
theFair Pioneers Day and giving to
all Of the Pioneers OF New Ulm and
vicinity complimentary ticket, to attend
the fair on that day. ssl 5ss
The matter Of having a rest room for
women as a special feature for subse-
squent fairs was also discussed and was
favorably considered as was also the
proposition Of having rest room for!
men. It was also considered good
idea to have a chemical or two at the
grounds during fair week as a fire pro-
