The Fourth Of July will be . regular fete day
here-trotting and running races and several
picnics, parties and other amusements will be
given. The races on the track Of the Agricul-
tural Fair Association Of Prince Georges
county will be the chief event Of the day.
The agricultural fair is progressing as rapidly
as possible in preparation for the coming ex-
hibition on September IL, IS, IA and Is, and
from present indications it will be q success
The people OF the county are becoming more
and more interested, and have already reported
many fine varieties of horses cattle and sheep,
which will be on exhibition. The directors ct
their last regular meeting transacted much i'm
portant business. The grounds committes''
report plans and prices for the stalls, pens,
eooPs and other necessary buildings for the ex-
hibitors. and were instructed to begin at once
the erection Of these buildings, and also a well
and windmill, in order to guarantee an abun-
dance OF water. The water will undoubtedly
be excellent, for in an adjoining field is one Of
the best wells in the county. The question
giving most worry now is concerning the main
entrance to the grounds. This entrance goes
from the foot Of Water street in q straight
line to the grounds. and is only
about 500 yards from the court house. Right
OF way has been given by all persons through
whose land the road will pass except the
'tHolmes" farm, and this will have to be pur-
chased. This entrance will be very expensive,
costing from 90 900 to 90, 500, and to get the
sentiment OF the stockholders q meeting Of all
stockholders has been called for on July Is, at
the court house, to take action and IL neces-
sary. issue more stock and build the new en-
trance. As several parties have applied for
the privilege Of using the grounds for various
entertainments the following committee was
appointed to take charge Of this matter and
decide by whom and when the grounds may be
used: DIR. Richard = Hill, presidents; Joseph
8. Wilson, secretary, and CoLs Henry W. Clag-
own rules. name their own officers and charge
an entrance fee to all spectators, the proceeds
to 60 to the association.
