Could the Fair ever be ri-vivcd if "hung Up to dry"
for a year ,
Are not the people of the County entitled to some en
leitaiiinieiit this fall after harvesting a hit; nop
Will it be possible to secure the uecessan exhibits .'
And lastlv are there enough patriotic Ontarians, men
and women, who are under the direction of the hoard win.

Mundle all these questions auv way von want to, mak
the first last or the laatf irst,
oud you have a svmpoaium
Hoartl Tuesday niyht, at which only fifteen business nun
Were present.
However, judging by the
men there, the majority was in
iidiiiitted that it will he a
scarce; that the director! anil every man ill town is bus.i
and is going to stav buav, hut is willing to ' hi and help
int the Fair over. Hut it wan felt that there was not a snf
lieient Dumber of men out to fleeide so important a OUCH
lion for the entire eonimnnity. Also in view of the fail
that to a large degree the su ss of the Fair has been dne
to the work of the women of the eity that it should not !
