Coming Shamokin Fair.
'. ASSOCIATION WILL MAKE
THINGS BOOM.

Since the organization Of the Sha-
mokin driving park association, many
successful fairs have been held, but
the past will not equal the future one
at the driving park opening September
8 and closing on the nth. Many
horsemen will be present from differ
ent parts of the country, and the exhi-
bition by the noted equestrienne, Miss
Myrtle Peek will eclipse all previous
exhibitions ever given by any horse
man. The association has been fortu-
nate in securing Miss Peek and only
did so at an enormous expense. The
premiums offered are larger than ever
before, and this alone is sufficient proof
that the racing will be of the finest.
The park has undergone improve
ments and the thousands of people
who flock to the races will find the
best accommodations. The people of
Shamokin and vicinity realize the at
traction of the fair and are enthusias-
tic over the coming event.
