pressed its disapproval of the practice

ton to the effect that the giving of
passes to any but school children be
discontinued was adopted unanimous
ly. There was also some discussion of
the action of the fair directors in
changing the name of the fair TO the
Wisconsin Valley Fair and EXPOSE
ton. Those favoring the change ar
gued for the greater field of activity
the fair would thus cover, while those
opposed felt that the established re-

laries and fees was reconsidered and |
adopted Friday afternoon after Sheriff |
