Just how the Fair will of its fourth renewal aft years of decadehcc was of conjecture.

Gossard if the cash take all sources during the meet the expenses. But. he went on to explain that the directors had started the revival a shoe string" and that expenses had been heavier because of lack of facilities than they would have been had they taken over a going institution. doubt if many people realize the tremendous expense involved in putting on the Fair the secretary declared as he recited a few of the major items and then pointed to some of the which are more or less obscure to the general public. The racing cost a total of $4.700, he said but added that approximately $2.400 of this was paid in by the horsemen in stake fees.

Premiums paid to exhibitors amounted to $1,900 although none of the individual awards was large. The Horse Show, it was said, not only paid its own way but probably would show a profit. This night feature however, has several things in its favor from a financial pomt of view, it was pointed out. First of all the premiums amounted to only $1,300 and a large part of this was contributed by sponsors and still more of it was offset by entry fees. The trophies too were donated.

The amateur vaudeville, drill by Company and the fireworks on Friday night brought out the biggest paid admission to the grandstand of the Fair. Tickets were sold to 1,004 for this entertainment. It was apparent to the directors that the crowds for the races and Horse Shows, with the exception of Tuesday, were larger than that of Friday night but the grandstand admissions were several hundred more on Friday, The officials were still trying to figure out just what caused this condition. They said they knew there were passes out but did not think they would make up the difference. This, they admitted, was one of the problems which would have to be solved next year.

Saturday was given over to day" when Ward International Congress of Daredevils put on afternoon and night shows in the race track in front of the grandstand. In the meantime, all was hustle and bustle all over the grounds as exhibitors were moving out their livestock, agricultural and home economics displays. Horse vans and small automobile trailers were going and coming back in the area around the barns as the race and show horses were being moved to the next fair or back home. The Merchants Building was littered with papers and colored streamers and booth displays were being dismantled and moved out. Everyone was hot ar: tired and somewhat irritable.

Out on the midway, the preparations were being made to continue the carnival features of the Fair far into Saturdav ight.

Weade, son of Mr. and Mrs. John N. Weade is going on the road with the Bea-Mar herd of show cattle, he revealed Saturday morning as the Fayette County Fair came to a close. Young Weade, who carried off top honors in the 4-H club project exhibit with a Hereford steer he had fed, said he was going with the Bea-Mar herd to Lucasville Monday where the Scioto County Fair is held.

Ho expects to be out at least a month and although the itinerary is still indefinite, he said they probably would take in shows with the herd in Maryland and Pennsyl- vania in addition to some in Ohio before returns. However, he is looking forward to the Ohio State Fair show and probably will have one of his own entered there.
