County, held at the Sank Centre
Armory Monday evening President
Roy Scott, Of the Community Club.
informed the fair officers that the
special committee appointed by
the Club to cooperate with the
officers Of the Association in maxi
ing arrangements for the 1884
Stearns County Fair had decided
that the best interests would be
served If they withdrew and not
hinder the fair officers in setting
the dates for the Fair and in max
Ing other arrangements.
President Scott informed Presi-
dent Schoenhoff that the Commun-
ity Club committee would work
wherever they can be used to ad-
vantage In making the 1884 fair a
success.
The directors expressed their ap-
probation for the fine spirit Of CO.
operation shown by the Commun-
ity Club.
After Secretary J. a.. Schoen-
hoff read the minutes Of the pre-
ceeding meeting the dates for the
1884 fair were discussed.
The officers, using past exper-
fence as a guide, were unanimous
for an early fair. The exposition
this year will be three days. Entry
day will fall on Monday, July 2.
The fair will close Wednesday eve
ming July 4.
At a largely attended caucus Of
the farmers Of Sank Centre town
ship held Saturday afternoon q re-
solution was enthusiastically pass
ed indorsing the 1884 fair and
promising fullest cooperation. A
similar resolution was passed at
meeting of the Veterans Of For
eign Wars held Friday evening.
The admission charge this year
will be % cents for adults. An adj
mission will be charged entry day.
This will give the ticketholder an
opportunity to attend the second
day Of the fair without additional
payment. ..
A charge Of so cents per head will
be made for each head Of live
stock entered. The grand stand
admission will be 10 and Is cents.
Children Of school age will be
admitted free to the grounds at
any time during the fair.
The question Of selling season
tickets was discussed. Just how
this matter should be handled is
not quite clear in the minds Of the
Fair officers. The question will be
definitely decided at the meeting
to be held in a short time.
because of the limited amount Of
money available from the state for
premiums the premium list will be
radically revised to meet condi-
tions. The Herald was awarded
the contract for printing the book.
The premium list will be in the
hands of the public about May IS.
The amusement program Is in
the making. The Fair officers real
lie that this department must be
budgeted very carefully. There
will be baseball games and other at
fractions, including running races
for green horses. bicycle races and
a varied program Of entertainment.
Probably never in the history Of
the Association are the farmers
taking as active an interest In the
fair as they are this year. They
realize It's value. This support
should augur well for the success
of the 1884 fair.
