| Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
MIDDLETowN, Sept. 10 The seventh
annual fair of the Penibsuler Agriculture
and Pomologicsl Association, name, by
the way, long enough for a circus poster,
which begins here on the 2lst instant and
lasts four days, it is predicted will be the
largest ever held here. There are 81
entries for trials of speed, among them
many favorite trotters. Last year there
were 40. Again May, the New Castle
favorite, and Sherman Morgan, the pride
of Kent. are pitted against each other in
the 2.24 class, and it is to be hoped that
both horses will be given fair chance to
show what they can do, irrespective of any
jockeying or 'pocketing" The associa-
ton will probably also offer special
purse for pacing race. Through the
courtesy of W. Scott Way, editor of the
| Transcript, who is secretary of the asso
citation, have been furnished with list
of the entries, ~ follows;
