The Coming Fair.


The 4Sth annual fair of the Burlington
County Agricultural Society, to be held in
Mount Holly beginning October lst and
continuing for FIVE days, promises to be
the most interesting event in the society's
history. This is because the directors
have decided upon different policy, and
the new innovations will certainly be a
pleasing feature to the thousands who are
expected to attend.
More applications than ever have been
received for space, not only in the build
ings but on the grounds, for the display
of new features and the exhibition of side
shows of an attractive nature.
The division superintendent are each
exercising their utmost endeavor to secure
for their respective departments a combi-
nation of attractiveness that will not fail
to win loud praise. Personal solicitation
has secured number of exhibitors who
have never appeared on the ground before
and thus all the space in the buildings
will be taken. Some OF the exhibits at
the Trenton fair will be brought here,
and as our exhibition begins only day
or two later, the directors hope, in view Of
the large amount of money and energy
being expended, to receive the undivided
support of the people of Burlington coun-
ty, whose prestige thus extended will
positively insure success.
| The date of the fair was changed to ac-
commodate the farmer, who at that sea
son of the year will be enabled to show
! his interest in the undertaking which
first had its inception for his personal
advancement. This will enable the agri
culturist to display better variety o.
his products, and to spend few days in
the admiration of his toll for the pas
season.
The celebrated Jewett Brothers, aeria
navigators, will be quartered on the green
sward inside the ring, and will give two
balloon ascensions each day, descending
to the earth by detatching a parachute
This thrilling performance will draw
large crowds. Besides other attraction
in the ring will be placed Deer Park

A Benefit.

j Fred Laumaster, who has so success
fully managed the Opera House for sew
eral years, will be rendered a benefit to-
morrow evening, when Fitz & Webster
will present their laughable comedy, "a
Breezy Time" 1t is faree.comedy that
is now in its second season. 1t would be
scarcely recognized, however. by those
who now see it as the production of last
year About the only thing that has
been retained in it is its plot and its two
principal performers, f. b. Ftz and
Kathryn Webster. "A Breezy Time" is
now made up Of brand new scenery and
costumes, new and pretty faces, plenty of
talent, bright and catchy music and a
series of amusing bits Of hy-play that are
new and always mirth-provoking. Strange
as il may seem, in spite of the fact that it
is farce comedy, "A Breezy Time" has a
plot. 1t concerns a young Boston student
who is followed TO Vermont by the girl he
loves and by numerous creditors whom
he does not love. These creditors appear
in various DISCUSSES for the purpose Of
checkmating the hero, but, as is well
known, heroes are never checkmated.
The rest of the plot is not disclosed, but
it Is said that during it's unfolding, the
various characters appear in amusinG
complications during which they present
various novel and amusing specialties.
