Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1892-10-15

The Frederick county fair which clos
ed yesterday was the most successful one
for years II Is estimated that fully 30
600 people were upon the fair grounds
on Thursday, and that the receipts ST
the grand stand were more on thai day
than all the days put together from The
same source The year previous IL was
our good fortune TO be present on this
occasion and we don't think we ever
Witnessed q more orderly crowd There
was plenty of room, no excitement, and
everybody seemed bent on seeing the
great show and its many attractions
Frederick can certainly boast of its great
fair, TO say nothing of its beautiful coun-
try situations that abound on every side,
and the hospitality of its people. The
display of stock was the finest we had
ever seen; in fact The exhibits OF all
kinds were highly commendable. We
should like to refer more in detail TO the
many attractions but as these have been
so well ventilated by the press, geneT-
ally, we shall pass them over. and refer
more particular TO what we observed on
the outside.
Frederick is Considerable of a manu-.
featuring town, and has q number of To-
cal industries which keep many of its
people employed. II has a number of
fine stores and business places and its
streets present quite business-like mart.
During our short stay we visited its
beautiful city of the dead-"Mount Oil
vet" where lie reposed the immortal re-
mains of many of its distinguished dead.
We also took in the Deaf and Dunn Asy-
lum, magnificent structure, with large
and picturesque grounds To the West
of the city, stretching out for miles, can
be seen the towering mountains which
lend an enchanting view to the scenery
around Frederick, like all well regulated
cities, Is blessed with a conservative
press 1t has three weekly papers aud
| two dailies-the Mems and the Examiner.
| We called at the Neaos and Citizen Offices
the former published by the Great
Southern Printing and Manufacturing
| Company, and the latter by the Baugh-
man Brothers We met with u cordial
welcome and a hearty shake of the
hand and were shown through the var
Ious departments of these establishments.
They are models of printing offices and
do thriving business.
1t was our good fortune during our
stay In Frederick TO fall into the hands
| of Mr.. John Tronise, resident of Har.
mony Grove, about two and half miles
| from the city. to whom we are greatly
Indebted Tor kindness SHOWN, ana whose
hospitality we shall not soon forget. A
more genial and whole-seuled gentleman
it has not been our good fortune to meet
| with. We also had the pleasure of be-
ing entertained by Mr.. Calvin Cronise,
in the same neighborhood. whose hospi-
| table wife and daughter we are much in
debted for a major portion of our pleas
ant visit to their county, and entertain
ment at their lovely home. Both OF these
| gentlemen are among the substantial
citizens OF old Frederick, and enjoy an
enviable reputation for their kind hospi-
tally Their houses are veritable pic
lures of comfort and ease and refine
ment, and time will never efface the
pleasant impressions made upon the wri
Ter of his first visit TO Frederick and its
fair, and the hospitality with which he
was received.
