130 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



During the evening a session of the Board of Directors was held, 

 and the time for making the entries at the Park and Pavilion was 

 extended until twelve o'clock m. to-day. This became necessary, 

 because it was impossible for the entry clerks to complete the entries. 



The Superintendent of the Park was instructed to prepare steps to the 

 reporters' stand; also to have notices or placards posted on this stand, 

 stating that it is for the reporters of daily papers of the State only. 

 Complaint was made in regard to the pool selling. It was claimed that 

 the selling was unfairly conducted. A committee was appointed to 

 investigate the same, and report to the Board. The new combination 

 detective ticket adopted by the society as a check on transferring 

 membership tickets works like a charm. At the Park yesterday four 

 tickets were forfeited, and at the Pavilion door last evening quite a 

 number were taken from the holders, who in every instance proved 

 not to be the persons to whom the tickets had been issued. The 

 Board says it is determined to protect its receipts against this prac- 

 tice of transferring tickets if it becomes necessary to publish all the 

 names of those who give away their tickets, as well as those who 

 attempt to enter on them. 



Church, Jones & Beebe's band, reinforced by musicians from San 

 Francisco, furnished some very fine music during last evening. The 

 Pavilion closed at ten o'clock and thirty minutes. It opens at eight 

 o'clock a. m. to-day. It is expected that the Presidential party will 

 informally visit the Pavilion this evening.
