 lot. Mr. Reeves moved that the superintendent of the machinery de- 

 partment charge $250 for the lot on which the Dodd and Struthers Build- 

 ing now stands. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sheldon and carried. 



President Cameron asked what the members of the board would recom- 

 mend with reference to Ruth Law's Plying Circus. Mr. Cameron ex- 

 plained that Miss Law had agreed to give seven days' flying instead of 

 six as per her original proposition for $9,000. Mr. Tow moved that the 

 executive committee be authorized to enter into contract with Ruth Law 

 as per her proposition to the committee at the Savery Hotel Wednesday 

 evening, February 4. The motion was seconded by Mr. Curtin and car- 

 ried. Miss Law was called before the board and was informed that her 

 proposition had been accepted. 



President Cameron declared the revision of the premium list was the 

 next order of business and called upon the superintendent of the horse 

 department for his recommendations. 



Dean Curtiss, Superintendent of the Horse Department, recommended 

 an increase of $4,205 for draft horses, $1,970 for the saddle horse classes, 

 $426 for horse show classes, $100 for pony classes and $150 for mules, 

 making a total increase of $6,851. He recommended that the stall rent 

 in the horse department be increased $1.00 per stall. 



Mr. Tow, Superintendent of the Swine Department, recommended that 

 the six principal breeds of swine be increased from $618 to $850 and that 

 $100 be added to the Duroc Jersey Futurity. This would call for an in- 

 crease of $1,429 over last year. 



Mr. Curtin recommended the following program for the speed depart- 

 ment, which calls for an increase of $3,400 over last year.
