Billboard advertising (July-Dec 1900)

THE BILLBOARD Department. § #> ' Exposition in a Dilemma. Toledo, O., June 26.—(Special.)—The ad- -erse decision of the Supreme Court to-day egarding the availability of the Centennial pprcpriation of $500,000 is a sad blow to the romoters of the Centennial Exposition here, iut it has not caused them to lose heart yet. Colonel James Kilbourne, president of the :tate Commission, was here when the de- ision was received, and expressed himself s follows: "I hope Toledo will keep up its local organ- zation for a time until we can find out what an be done. I believe that the governor will -all a special session of .the legislature. I hall have a frank talk with him immediate- y and place the situation- before him. He is irgely responsible for the failure of the leg- slature to make an appropriation, but I hink that he will now be willing to do what a in his power, to remedy the trouble. The ;reat danger is that Toledo will become dis- usted and discouraged. The decision places •overncr Nash in a serious dilemma, and e will be ready and willing. I think, to call [ special session cf the legislature. We will hen get the $1,000,000 without the slightest pposition. Ohio is going to have a centen- ial, and I sincerely trust Toledo will not ack down at this juncture. It would be "an vcrlastlng disgrace to Toledo and North- western Ohio were the matter allowed to rop now." Fountain for Festival. Manager E. T. Ziegler. of the Cincinnati "all Festival, has received a request from n Eastern firm wishing to exhibit an im- mense electric fountain during the festival, 'he lower basin will be sixty feet in diam- ter, and the stream will rise twenty-five. let.

It proposed by the promoters of the carnival take- the bands to Marshalltown without ;<pense, furnishing them free transportation ' er the railway lines and entertaining them ring two days at tbe hotels without any cessary expenditure on their part. The nd boys will be made free of the fair ounds and have an opportunity of visiting e races, which will, doubtless, have its ef- ct in drawing entries from outside points, excursions will be run from Peoria, Center- He. Mason City and over the Story City 'anch. Contributions from business men the necessary fund have been very liberal, [id a successful carnival is a certainty. The Central Conference of Rabbis will hold jteir annual conference at Niagara Falls, Y., this month.. One of the chief subjects 11 be the extension of Hebrew charities.

The demands will elude a thorough system of education and presentation and peasant proprietorship, ith. especial reference to South Africa and e West Indies. Louisville Horse Show.

' Mr, Altsheler said I would be necessary to have a membership of 100 persons, who would be required to in- vest J100 each. He also said that one-third of the membership had been secured, and he thought the others could be gotten with little trouble. After hearing Mr. Altsheler, the di- , rectors decided to indorse the movement and work for its success. Thereupon the follow- ing committee was appointed to go ahead with the work: John B.

A street fair for Bluffton, Ind.. this year looks only like a possibility. The feeling among business men is somewhat divided on tho subject. To run a fair successfully it is estimated that about $2,400 would be needed. A little over $2,100 was raised last year. There is at present no street fair organiza- tion, and organized effort is what is now needed to insure the city a fair this fall. A. A.

The farmers of Aroostook County. Me., who attended the Potato Show of 1S99 were so well pleased and satisfied with their prem- iums and the picnic, dinner, etc.. that they have decided to have another this season, some time in September, but it has not been decided what town will be chosen for the potato show, though Ft."Fairfield has been proposed. The committee having charge of the affair is ready to receive bids, offers, etc.. and requests those who are desirous of hav- ing the 1900 potato show held 'n ih'ir town to communicate with the general manager at Maple ton. Me. Geo. B. Dickert is secretary. There is considerable discussion as to .whether or not Colorado Springs Is to have ..a carnival this year. Nothing has as yet been done In the way of preparation, and It Is gen- erally agreed that there should be one. No meeting of tho carnival committee' has yet been called. The trouble seems to be that the enthusiasm over the carnival lias never been general enough, and a comparatively few peo- ple have been depended upon to make the celebration a success. As Denver has decided not to have a festival this year, Colorado Springs will probably have a greater attrac- tion than ever before. D. V. Donaldson, the founder of the Flower Festival, states that - the carnival celebration should be main- tained every summer, or else something of like nature should be substituted for It.
