Our contract with them was that w* should be paid 31,750 for taklnr charge of certain departments. Out of this money we were to pay the expense of tho super intendence of five departments. The con tract called for the payment to us of this money on tho second day of the fair, but we didn't get It then, and a week later suceeded In getting only 31,000.
