the usual agricultural show.
The means of reaching the Wilmington
Fair grounds are very complete. The
Pennsylvau Railroad Company will run
special trains direct to the grounds to con.
meet with :heir regular trains from the
North and South; the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company will connect at Viii.
