ELKTON FAIR.
A Successful Exhibition
GOOD EXHIBITS AND FINE RACES
$4,000 IN ATTENDANCE.

The beautiful grounds of the Cecil
County Agricultural Society never looked
more attractive than Cd Tuesday last the
opening day of the Society's Twelfth
Annual Exhibition. Owing to the
excessively dry weather, the different
approaches to the grounds were very
dusty on Monday, aud the promise Of
discomfort to visits from this source was
excellent. But on Monday night heavy
and opportune downpour OF rain came,
retouchlng the bright green stretches of
lawn, on which gorgeous Autumn sun
arose on Tuesday morning, inspiring life
and activity In every nook and corner of
the Dig enclosure. Some apprehension
had been felt by the friends of the Fair,
that the unfortunate collision Of days
between Elkton and Wilmington would
materially effect the attendance here.
Such however was not the case, for the
number in attendance on Tuesday
equslled, if it did not exceed that of
previous Fairs, and the attendance on
Wednesday was noticeably larger than
usual, while that of Thursday and FRIDAY
was quite up to the standard OF recent
years. The weather throughout the
week was favorable TOR IL successful
and better order never pre-
vailed upon the Ekton Fair Grounds.

turning point IN the career OF his com
pany had already been reached by him
and IL in tho Dwight case. Immod-
lately on notification OF Colonel
Dwights death, Mr.. Hyde despatched
one of the trustiest agents OF his COM
pany to BinghamtOn, telling him to in-
vestigate the case thoroughly and re-
port at once Colonel Dwight held
$4,000 insurance in the Equitable com
pany-a very large sum for one COM
pany 10 hold at that time on any one
mans life. While the other twenty
five companies were making their
arrangements to litigate the Dwight
case, Mr.. Hyde received word from his
agent at BinghamtOn, conscientious
aud intelligent man, that he could find
no good reason why the Equitable Life
Insurance Society shouldn't pay the
claims without further delay.
Thoreupon Mr.. Hyde ordered the
policies settled and the Equitable's
check for $4,000 was within ten days
sent to the beneficiary. So great was
the public excitement over this case
and so widespread and numerous We're
the publications made in regard TO it
that the fact that Mr.. Hyde's company
had 50 promptly paid such a large sum
became known at once all over the civ
ilizcd world and was Of the greatest
possible value 20 tho company and TO
its president as an advertisement.
Since then the prosperity Of the com
pany has been uninterrupted, aud it is
now writing policies within few hun
drcd Of the 100000 mark. Think OF
what the 100000 men and women
mostly men-whO hold these policies
stand for In the lie Of the world today
the energy the selt-denial, the econ
omy, the forethought, tho love and af-
lection, indeed, all the best qualities Of
humanity which are so saliently pre-

vestments.
