pended over it.

The fair prospect of the Elkton
Fair as reported by the Elkton papers.
The racing promises TO be far
superior to any Fair yet held. About
one hundred and fifty entries have
been received, which exceeds all pre-.
vious lists. The track is in excellent
order, but is still being worked. A
number of horses are already on the
grounds.
A force of men are at work re.
pairing the buildings, etc. The
grand stand is being strengthened by
putting In new stills and ties. There
will be some slight alteration in the
entrances and exits to the stand en-.
closure
The new Board of Managers is
composed mostly of young energetic
men, and they are pushing matters
along with great zeal, at the same
time they are following strict business
methods. They are devising all
sorts of plans to improve the Fair
and increase the attendance. Arrange.
ments have been made to run an
excursion daily from Chesapeake
City by water, charging but rs cents
for the round trip, leaving Chesa.
peake City each morning at 8 o'clock.
1t is also expected, but the arrange.
ments are not yet complete, to run
the steamer Chester from George
town, Kent county, stopping at
wharves on the Sassafras and Elk
rivers. By this it will be seen that
the management is alive to the in.
terests of the Fair, and are anxious
to offer every inducement and oppor-
tunity to the people to support their
efforts. The Elkton Fair in past
years has been noted for its good ex.
hibitions and has always ranked as
equal to any, and superior to many
of the Fairs in this part of the
country, and there is every reason to
believe that the coming exhibition
will sustain this we'll earned reputa.
ton.
Let every one In Cecil county take
a local pride in the Fair, and encour.
age not only by their presence, but
also by their exhibits. the earnest
efforts of the Managers.
1t appears from the above these
"young energetic men" have never
thought of giving the fair an educa-
tional cast. Not a single feature
about it calculated to make any one
whOsattends either wiser or better in
thought, word or deed. The whole
business is to be barren, empty
show!
