Both receepts and expendtures w'ere reduced by several hundred dollars. Last year the fair board decided toe]etminate the har- ness races, long a-feature of f2,11liairs and thought by some people to be a nEcessary part of such occasions. IL was ar- gued ef the tLime tha1t te loss 0f revenue at the gate from 'toepeople who wouldflotcorne unleffs there were riaces would be offset by the saving from nont paying' prize mirney te race Winners. The resuits are incoaclusive. Receipts were down several hundred dollars, and so were expenses. While a nnumber of factors mighlt influence the total take at the gate, ýhe reduction in expeuses can definitely'be pinned down to the eliminah.ion of the races. Of course there is the po,-ssibility that many peoprle Who attended last year empected races and would flot corn-ie an- dther year if no races are beld. Titis, in our view, is a risk the fair board should take. Iii the f;rsi place, there will be no way ot knowýag urnlil it has been tried.foxy two years. In the second place there are a numnber,0f a.rgurnets aeiingt trotting races, which ef course led to last ycar's decision, among them the tact thak t ils increas-ngly difficult te get good competition in the races, of wh&ch the quality has declined steadlly iu recent years. There is no reasen te believe tbait the far caunot be' irnproved in other ways. The increasing bompetition in near- ly every class in recent ye'ars shrows a growiug inrterest ln the traditional exhibits at hall fairs. If to these, new attrac- bions èould be added- a biby conitest, for example, might be one- the public can bo brought int the iaýr grounds on fair day. There may ýbe several hundred people who cone te lthe fair to see horse races. But there are severai thousand within. reasonable distance who have nover corne, horse Y"ce or no horse races. Surely it Is with those severai thousands tiat the fair board must be concernod. The horse race prcblernl should put the socioty on, its mte.Nom, 's tho lime L'o work for more varied altVýaciionls, wVi t broader a.ppeal teo re dififeronit people. But at al coass the experiment ef runining thle fair withiout troLttiu1g raes shouild bo continued at least for- one more year. -The Port Hope Guide.
