RAIH SPOILS THE FAIR "Week Closes with Loss to Agricultural Society. MADE A GOOD START But Attendance "Was Light for Two Days. peed Proarramme Was Oanltted oat Account of the Unfavorable Cos-dltloa of the Track. Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct, 1.

For the first time In several years the Illinois state tair has closed with a loss. This fact is not due to lack of Interest In the big; enterprise, but on account of the unfavorable weather of tha past two days. Although the working surplus of the state board of agriculture has been consumed, all premiums have been patd, and only a few minor debts contracted by the board are still outstanding. Owing to the rain of Thursday night the programme of yesterday, including tha trial of Star Pointer against the world's harness record, was postponed until today. Indications last alght were favorable and It was predicted that this would be a record-breaker in the way of attendance.

Early this morning, however, rain began falling throughout Central Illinois. This was sufficient to discourage outsiders who had contemplated an excursion to the city, and the continuous downpour kept even the residents of Springfield from the exposition grounds. It was impossible to use the race-track with credit to tha fair association or the speedy animals entered In the track events, and consequently the racing programme was abandoned. During the morning banSJa from Peoria, Decatur, and Springfield, aided by the Woman's orchestra, which has been located In the exposition building during the week, attempted to work up some enthusiasm among the people, but at noon the idea was abandoned and the exposition was formally closed. All awards had been made and nothing remained but to dismantle the exhibit and vacate the grounds.

In point of attendance the week falls below that of previous years. The first four days were record-breakers, the attendance on each oecaslon being larger than en the same day of any previous year. With Friday, however, reverses came, and the receipts of the day fell to $5, BOO, as against $15,000 tor tha same day last year.
