The Indiana State Board of Agriculture met in the Administra- 

 tion Building at the Fair Grounds. 



There were present: Messrs. McDonald, Beauchamp, Haines, 

 Stevens, Blackstock, Thompson, Claypool, Barnett, Porter, Ni- 

 black, E. J. Robison, E. A. Robison, Nowlin and Bridges. 



A committee representing the exhibitors in the Mechanical 

 Department having displays of machinery on the Fair Grounds, 

 appeared before the Board and requested concessions in the way 

 of additional helpers' tickets. 



After much discussion by members of the committee and mem- 

 bers of the Board, Mr. Jones moved that the rule on the subject 

 of helpers tickets as published in the premium list be enforced 

 by the Superintendent of the Mechanical Department, provided 

 that the exhibitors in said department would assist the Superin- 

 tendent in carrying out and enforcing the rule. 



Which motion was carried. 



On motion of Mr. Claypool, seconded by Mr. Jones, it was 

 ordered that the Treasurer put on sale special admission tickets 

 at 50 cents each for the benefit of manufacturers and merchants 

 and that unused tickets be redeemed by him until Friday afternoon 

 at 4 o'clock of the week of the fair. 



On motion, the matter of the renewal of the natural gas con- 

 tract running with the Fair Grounds, was referred to the President, 

 Vice-President and Secretary. 



On motion, the Board adjourned.
