bride, ETC., and after closely contested
trial made by the five boys under fourteen
years, the prize was won by Master Alva
Summers, and a certificate awarded to
Master Bright Gillespie. The boys won
and wore their hOnors gracefully.
The next and last was for a premium

the best borseman of gentleman. Four
entries made spirited contest, the fOrtu-
nate victor being S. o. Csntrell, who bore
off the prize to present to his lady love,
or some one else equally beautiful. +.
There were present about six hundred
persons to witness this opening, all mani
Testing great interest in all the proceedings
of the day, and none can fail to regard it
as a very favorable beginning. The
provision made for eatables was in keep
ing with the known reputation of old
Sumner for hospitality and bounty. The
grounds are in fine condition, and success
is the word among all the people.
Our thanks are due TO the officers Of the
fair and many friends for courtesies and
favors extended to the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN representative.
The exhibition to-day will embrace
agricultural implements, mechanical de-
partment dairy, pantry vintage, cereals,
garden and orchard articles.
Those visiting the town will not fail to
be pleased at that most excellent hotel,
the Towson House, kept in first-class OT-
der, and we commend it to all.
