He Intimated that already several per-i ona are Interested in the purchase.

It Is the prevailing: opinion that he Is acting in this matter in behalf of duPont Interests that have been linked with the Delaware State Fair, and that while the grounds may be continued as a race course and probably for horse nhows and field meets, no effort will be made to continue the State Fair. 4 The sale was attended by about one hundred and fifty men, including a number of these interested Inst year in placing the fair on a paying basis, including- Charles M. Ranks, Colonel George A. Elliot and K. R.

none of whom 3 took part In the bidding.

All of the property in its entirety, including: the two plots of real es-, tale and the buildings and all other pemonal effects was first put up by Auctioneer Harry J. Stidham, anc only four bids were received. The first offer was $15,000.

Then $20,000 and $2 5,000 were bid in order. Mr. Cauffiel then made his bid of 000, the last and hishest, subject to the mortgage of $12,000 with accrued interest from June, 1924. An attempt was made to get bet ter prices by selling by parcel, the real estate being offered in two lots.

Hubcr offe.ed $15,000 for the second plot. As the two offers were so small, Mr. Sat- terthWftlte announced that the per- onal property -would be offered as a whole, He said this was done as it was found that It would be necessary for it to bring $25,000 to bring the sale bids to the amount bid by 4 Mr. Cauffiel for the fair grounds as a whole. The personal property was bid in by William H.

Klair as a whole for $525. The entire property was finally knocked down to Mr. Cauffiel at his oriEinal bid of $45,000.

With the organization of a joint commission for the s'udy of the controversial question of the suppression of opium smoking in the Far East and with subsequent conferences, both jfri-cial and private, between the American and other delegates on narcotic drug problems, further hopeful progress was made today by the International Opium Conference. Dr. Rupert Blue, of the American delegation, is devoting bis time from the standpoint of a physician to protecting the masses of all countries from innocently acquired drug addiction in the consumption of patent medicines which contains a portion of opium or its derrrsrt'ves. Dr. Blue has been striving with success to reduce, the proportion of narcotics in preparation which can be procured at a.

pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. The delegates of the numerous smaller states represented at the conference are rejoicing that a way-has been found to examine into opium smoking and that the conference has been saved from collapse.
