Getting Ready For The Fair

GETTING READY FOR THE FAIR

At an enthusiastic meeting of the Fair Association, held last week, it was decided to make extensive repairs on the grounds this year. The racing feature of the exhibition will be made superior to any that has preceded it. Three hundred dollars in purses will be offered in each event. Last year the purses only ranged from $75 to $100.

A midway will also be a feature of the fair this year, if the right kind of attractions can be obtained. This feature will betaken up very shortly and communication had with a number of managers who have now a reputation of being leaders in the midway amusement line.

Speaking of the fair, this morning, Sheriff Gillen, who is the general superintendent, said that the management this year expect to eclipse all former fairs in the character and quality of the amusement features that will be given.
