Jewett, chairman of the Sports, Concessions and Entertain- ment committee in which he sets forth some of the work required to be~done and is now being done by members of hi3 committee. The letter in full follows: Editor of The Pioneer, Dear Sir:---I wish there was some way to very thoroughly impress upon the public the amount of work that committee members have to do in connection with the Northern Min- wesota Fair. The ‘reason I mention this is that the members of my committee, such as Dr. W. K. Dennison in' charge of the horse races is spending his own time-and money in getting up his part of the program. E:-B. Berman expects to give more than half his time to the concessions part of the business. R. B. Lycan is spending his time toward securing men for the wrest- ling part of the program. Dr. J. W. Diedrich is putting in some long and hard licks in staging a worthwhile foolball game and the furthering of other sport events. And before closing 1 wish to say that the most vital part of our pro- gram is the securing of the required number of subscriptions for th eSt. Paul Dispatch in order to bring the Flying Circus here. This work is under the direction of E. H. Denu, .who reports that there are still 100 subscriptions to secure. It is abso- lutely necessary to conclude this work before the circus is assured and if there are those who have not paid their subscriptions and wish to help in the work, I hope they will send in thejr $5.00 to Mr. Denu at once. Personally, I expect to devote my entire time to the fair until we have succeeded in all departments. Very truly yours, C. W. Jewett, Chairmen of Sports, Concessions and Entertainments.
