leaving one of the moat important an
interesting -questions to havecome bo
- for it untouched and undecided: that
of whether or not there would be any
rape meet at the State Fair Grounds
this vear, in lieu of tbe State Fair,
i The State Board of Agriculture has
Biff; decided that they were willing t
an ahead and hold tbe meeting upon
the date arranged if the Salem people
gave the proper assureanee that they
desired it and: were willing to stand a
portion-of the risk and loss, and left
the matter for the business men of 8a
lem to deride. The board will hold an
other meeting on next Monday and will
,;i-pose'of the question definitely ae;
eording to the nature of the eommiin
ierition '.which come to it from the Sa
1pm neonle. Silenee in thi ease, of
course, will be construed that the mat
ter has leen ignored and "turned
flown" by the latter. Tt then leaves
but a tdiort time for the Salem business
mn.to make np their minds one way
or another and it is but due to 'the State
Fair board that some kind of an an
wer be made to its proposition, as a
matter of courtesy;
President ITofer, at the meeting-Mon
1ay evening, gave ample opportunity
and extended an invitation to any one
who desired to bring tip the subject bnt
thPrc was none there to espouse the
patiso and the matter fell flat. Some of
thr.sf present at tbe meeting were in
"attendance for no other purpose than
to discuss ami hear discussed this very
Vry question, but, sinee it did not come
up, "did not care to asutno 'the initiative.
There were many others whose business
interests. prevented them from attend-
inw tbe mreting and who were interest
1 in the conclusion arrived at upon
fhc mntte'r of holding the raf meeting
nnil ithese. were the first to inquire what
rtisitwwition had been mad of the mat
tcr. Thre was a gre:it, deal of "talk,
both' upon the streets and among the
merchants concerning this matter yes
t"rln7 and all seemed. riil even ex-
TTftsptl themselves as iM-ing favorabe
to snfb an arrangement.
One or two merchants expressed re-
grr that the '-tate fair had been ut
oft fur this year, and admitted that
thv wprp somewhat incdihed to buck
o that 'account.. They were generous
enough, to admit, however, in the. end,
that a race met would do 'the Salem
merchants and, business men even more
sooj than would a State Fair for the
reason- tlmt in case of the latter the
people not only spent the dav at the
Fair Grounds bnt the nights as well,
while, in the event of a race meet with
out tbe Fair thev would stay at the
prnnnds long enough to see the Tace
during the afternoons and then spend
their evenines in the city, since there
'would" be no-rttttractions at the grounds
fr them. Ire that way the business in
terests of the city would receive more
substantial benefits from the. race meet
than they would in the event of the
fair. Many expressed the hope that
the matter "would not be allowed to go
by default in the manner in which it
is" drifting and 'that some way-fould be
found, if another meeting of the club
eoold not be brought about this week.
to have the question decided one way
er another before the end of tb week,
"It soems a very small matter Xo me.
this raising of a guarantee fnna or
timet," said Col. L..K. Page, president
of the Salem State Bank, "if that i
all that stands in the way of holding
the usual race meeting. I am surprised
that 'the., board of aigricultnre would
hare any reason to entertain doubts of
its being raised. For w? part, and I am
sot a snortinff man. either, neither will
wy business interests be affected bene-J

in5f! aione tnan with the state Fair,
since a very large percentage of the
people who attend the State-Fairs nev
er so mtvU as look at the pavilion but
spend the whole of their time at the
race course. These eopIe remain f at
the Fair Grounds in the evening simply
l.eeanse there is no place to go and
then they stand around and discuss the
features of the speed events that oe
enrred during tbe day. By all means
gi,ve us a race meeting." f
II al I). Patton, of the firm of Patton
Bros.: ''If the people who are directly
benefited by havimg-the race meeting
want it,. I want it." This brief, but
eharasteristic speech was nttcred by
Mr. Patton in bis usual nonehalent and
benevolent spirit which brands him as
being always' in favor of any public
enterprise which makes for the amuse
ment or eatertamment of the people and
he finished with the assurance that he
was willing to stand his share of the
expense.
These are only a ew of the great
many expressions made to a Statesman
reporter during his usual rounds yester
day afternoon, and were it not for the
lack pf space a great number of other
prominent and influential men could be
quoted as being favorable to the prop
osition. It would seem, then that the
only 'thing that remains to do is for
som one to start out with a subscrip
tion ; blank and ask the business men
to guarantee this fund which is requir
ed by tbe board as, not only an act
of good faith but as , an insurance
against a too heavy loss to the board
should the meeting, prove unprofitable
from a financial standpoint. The board
of agriculture does not ask that this
money.be turned over to be expended

the Grand Dnke has not ' only been
showered with threats and warnings,
but has. twice received from abroad
formal letters signed by different
groups informing him of his sentence
to death and of the assignment of men

Grand Duchess Marie, like the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth, in the case of Grandi
Duke Seririus, was notified that ber life

she was appealed to not to go abroad

last few weeks under the strain of

which placed the responsibility for the

several severe punches on Nelson's ribs

end of the fight, r;
Nelson s plan of battle was to force
Corbett around the ring, Keeping ciose
to him all the time. Whenever Corbett
missed a swing, Nelson was there with
a return which generally landed. From
the fifth round on, Nelson had Corbett
in the corner or against the ropes aU'l

" Corbett in some way, managed to

S far as is known a movement' has
been made iu this eounty toward the
circulation of a. petition for the refer
endum of the bill and it is not Iw-lieved
that tbe peopfe of Marton county will
take anr.part in the fight against it.
Several parties heretofore prominent in
movements of this character were in
terviewed by a Statesman reporter yes
terday upon this question, and not one
could be found who was in favor of
repealing tbe . general appropriation
act. , They were almost unanimous in
the belief that it would prove a dis
astrous and expensive mode as it would
only result in ' putting the state to
about one-third more expense by cut
ting off the appropriations and having
to pay 6 per cent interest .upon all war
rants issued by the secretary of state
fo'r payisg the expenses of the different
institutions, -if allowed by .the Legis
lature of 1907.
Under the provision of tbe referen

must be in the hands of the seerctarv
of state within the ninety days period
after the adjournment of the Legisla
ture. This petition mutt bear tbe sig
