ELKToN, Oct. 10.-The closing day of
the sixth annual Cecil county fair was the
best day in point of weather of the meet
| ing. The attendance early in the morn
ing was far from large, but towards II
o'clock the crowds began to gather, and
in the afternoon il is estimated that from
four 10 five thousand persons were ON the
grounds. A great many exhibitors who
came on Friday, thinking it was the last
day, persisted in taking their exhibits
home with them, This made some of the
departments look rather bare, and per-
sons who came to see the exhibits were
doubtless somewhat disappointed. The
cattle department WAS minus many of the
| best herds, which, having secured the
premiums, were shipped for other exhibit
| tions. Some went to Mount Holly fair i'll
| New Jersey, and others TO Frederick and
| Hartford county fairs in Maryland, all of
| which are to be held next week.
The $50 class pacing race for q
premium of $500, of which $3.50 went to
the first horse, 1915 to the second, $i5 to
the third, and $50 to the fourth, brought
out four PAGERS. Three of them hailed
from Philadelphia and the other was n
Maryland horse. Sallie @. was the best
nag il she could be kept on her feet,
but broke badly in nearly every heat and
only secured the second heat aud second
money. She was the favorite with the
betting fraternity. Bessie j., the Mary
lander, took the first, third and fourth
heats and first money. The heats wers
mostly interesting, Sallie going Il
