Gektlemex —We are informed that you are to meet at Madison on 
Tuesday, the first day of February next, for the purpose of locating the next 
state fair, and that you are willing to locate at the place which will fur¬ 
nish the proper accommodations, and at the same time secure the largest 
attendance. We, the citizens of Milwaukee, feel confident that no place in 
the state can offer greater facilities for holding the fair than in our city; 
therefore, we, the solicitors, do agree to put the fair ground known as the 
Cold Spring in a suitable condition, and to the satisfaction of your officers 
(free of all expense) provided that you will locate the fair here for the next 
two years.
