Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1894-09-14
The Agricultural Fair.

at the Fair Grounds last week, was in many
respects the finest ever witnessed here, while
the attendance was fully up to that of any
previous year. Good weather prevailed
during the three days, and on the second
day the crowd was estimated at about 0 1000
In all departments the display was of such
character as to reflect honor on the county
and furnish an object lesson of the rapid
progress of our people in all branches of in
dustry. A pleasant feature Of the Fair was
the trials of speed during each of the three
days, and in this respect it certainly equaed
any former exhibition. Annexed will be
found a summary of the races and a list Of
the premiums awarded:
