State Fair officers upbeat after profitable Jubilee edition
Despite bad weather and heavy rains last week, the State Board of Agriculture reports a profit of more than 5000 from the fair. Secretary Jes H. Downing and President M G Claypool note that if weather had cooperated net could have reached 20000. Attendance and revenue on other days compare favorably with former fairs as the Jubilee Fair drew many first-time visitors to Indianapolis. Downing states premiums paid and plans to begin work Monday on next year’s fair, grateful for loyal state support despite lost revenue from Friday’s conditions. The railroads and hotels struggled with out of town visitors and some exhibitors began dismantling early Friday night as shipments peaked at Monon siding.
