PKESIDE.NTS OF THE SOCIETY — STATISTICS OF THE STATE FAIRS 



During the time it has been located at Syracuse, the fair has <;rown yearly 

 in size, importance and amount of money involved. A half-mile race track 

 has grown to a mile track with Grand Cdrcuit meetings; there are magnificent 

 grand stands, numerous new buildings and constantly increasing exhibits. 



For several years the commission had felt that the success of the fair 

 would justify the construction of permanent brick and. concrete buildings, 

 laid out in accord with a definite, harmonious plan, with landscape features.
