A committee was appointed to arrange for bui'dings, grounds and all ~ necessary accommodations for exhibitors and visitors. Possibly the most interesting dismifloinn durin the meeting was in | regard to th privileges connected with life raer oership. The committee finally de ded that life memberi ship entitled the holder to free access to the grounds at any time during the fair, with the further privi[ lege of bringing in one lady with him. o A committee was appointed to A arrange and compile a premium list r and to have the same published as t early as possible. ? One day' during the fair will be known as School Day,and the department of education for the county promised interesting exhibits, floats and parades o f school children.
