Each box has seven comfortable chairs and a reservation for the four days costs $28. Patrons of the fair who wish to have the best accommodations for enjoyment of the races and other entertainment events should make their box reservations as soon as possible. Those who have a preference for any certain part of the stand may bid for choice, the highest bidder having first choice, etc. The names of those purchasing boxes and the amount of their bid for choice will be published as made. The boxes which are in the front part of the grandstand are arranged in two rows, the rear row being elevated. Numbers range from 1 to 32 and the names of those who make reservations for the season will be placed on the boxes. — Alissa Corman; [email protected]
