STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS FOR 1903, 



d.3 compared with the preceding year, showing increase or decrease as the 

 case may be. 



I herewith give a comparative statement of the receipts for the years 

 oi 1902 and 1903, with the exception of the $37,000 appropriation received 

 from the State in 1902 for the erection of the stock pavilion. 



This statement shows an increase of $2,182.78 in gate, quarter stretch, 

 and receipts from other sources; but a decrease of $5,324.90 in day am- 

 phitheater, night amphitheater and evening admissions; making a total 

 decrease of only $3,142.42. This is remarkable, considering the unfavor- 

 able weather conditions which prevailed throughout the entire week of 

 the fair.
