that gambling devices he prohibited at
the fair next week. The resolutions

association Of this city heartily approves
the action of Mr. Baker, our chief of
police, and Atty. Gen. George Cham

the source of much adverse comment.
Second. that we have interest and
pride in our fair held in this city. We
commend It to the general public as a
laudable Industrial and educational en-
terprise. One of the features of the
fair last year. which caused much just
criticism, was the special prominence
Of chance gambling devices which at
tracted large crowds of school boys. II
those in authority Gan see their way
clear to have this Objectionable feature
eliminated this year II will meet the
approval of large majority of the
patrons. and avoid just criticism. and
take temptation out Of the path OF so
many boys"
