the County Fair. which. throughout all seasons Oh
the year IL 40 rondy looked forward to. This time
IL In under the MANAGEMENT OF oliver summer
realI who az it's president, has worked hard ZOE
its success on Tuesday the fair begins, ana ON
Saturday 1t ends The last day Will DE marxed "
an interesting exhibt-that OF the babies.
The Wes,chester County Fair has always been
attractive but never before has 1t excited SO mucn
general interest Never before In the history OF the
association has there been so large NUMBER Oh
patronesses. box-holders and exhibitors.
Mr. Teal has himself declared that the coming
exhibition will be conspicuous as maghhce"'
combination OF "hayseeds and dudes. pumpkins
and babies" Hence 1t may be assumed that tns
fair will be the occasion OF bringing together III es-
bow touch he who ploughs and plods and he who
plots and plays.
one OF the great things is 10 DE the hoIss
show. Westchester County possesses many sraoes
of horses. In the neiehborhood> OF White Plains
there some horses which cannot take s.Ioi
I'm front OF a vehicle far into the surrounding
country without exciting the avidty OF the crows
which hang around the woodlands OF that beaut'iu'
district Then there are some which travel Win
so much feetness over the dusty roads that GRO"
could not possibly hope to overtake them. hepre
sentatives OF the extreme classes will be found ~
the Westminster County Fair.
There are many prizes to be won. yet all the prizes
seem to consist of cups the most OF whfch aTs
valued at so each. There are a greater NUMBER Oh
entries Of women's and mems saddle horses, polo
and saddle ponies. hunters, roadsters, carriage
horses and hackneys than at any previous exhipi-
ton In the county. The exhibits come from resi-
dents and a competitive spirit has been developed
among them.
More and more every year the Westchester
County Fair grows in Importance. There are few
OF so much wealth and much of the spirit OK
sport in its higher grades as those OF WESTMINSTER
County The city OF NewYork Itself Is going
northward rapidly. and he would be reckless
prophet VINO should attempt at this time to imit
that growth by any boundary lines. All that Deau-
tlful area In Westchester County lying between
the Hudson River and the Sound may be one day
within the limits OF the metropolis. White Plains
itself Is not far away. II, too. may come. Al the
present time the county il in part populated by
people OF wealth. who maintain there their country
homes while their winter establishments are IN
the city. At the County Fair the present week
there will not be a home. however humble or how
ever grand. that will not DE represented In some
form or other. either by way Of exhibit or or pa
tronage. IL IL wholesome to have on New-York
territory and within easy access OF the citizens OK
NewYork. a place TO which the people may am
nually retreat during festival week for the enjoy
ment OF all the delights and the novelties or
county fair the boundaries Of whose amphitheatrs
consist Of Natures hills and valleys. ana whose
canopy Is the autumnal sky
