AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY IS
GETTING READY TO BUILD

The park commission will take part
in all discussions and it will be ne
cessary to obtain its approval before
work is commenced on any one of
the structures planned. Most of the
barns in use at the present time are
OF little value for exhibition purposes
and it is expected these will be moved
to the rear and used to house race
horses in the future. The stock pa
vilion, it is estimated, should cost
somewhere in the neighborhood of
100000 and the grand stand about an
equal sum. The exhibition building
will cost less, about $4,000, the cost
to be covered by the donations made
the society Of $4,000 by the late
ID. l.. Plumer, shortly before his death.
To beautify the fair grounds between
now and next summer, the gift of
$4,000 made by c. G. Yawkey, will be
made use of. Plans are already un-
der way and in the early spring, work
will commence
Cancel Lease
The association board also voted to
pay the Sharpshooters the sum of
$400, to cancel lease they had on a
