ments have fine displays. As Dan
bridge & Co. show full line of imple-
ments, wagons and carriages, including
the exhibit of the Syracuse Plow Com
pany, one item of which is a plow
valued at $500. c. D. Wysong has
on exhibition many novelties in farm
ing implements, and has specimens of
almost every article needed by an
agriculturist. Thrush & Slough, Ship
pensburg, make splendid exhibit of
carriages and buggies Of all designs.
A. L. Anderson & Co., Of Middleway,
this county, have very attractive
line of vehicles on exhibition.
The game of baseball between the
Martinsburg and Hagerstown clubs,
under the management of Gibson &
Morgan, resulted in a victory for
Martinsburg by score of II to l6.
Osbourn and Eustice pitched for Ha-
gerstown and Gratfus caught ; Keller
and Baker pitched for Martinsburg
and Raney caught. The features of
the game were Brodie's home run and
Bakers pitching and fielding. Mr..
Archie Hoxton umpired most salts
factorily.
DR.. A. S. Reynolds, the president Of
the association, is entitled to the lion s
share Of the credit for the success Of
the fair. He has labored indefatiga-
bly, to make it all right, and his ener-
gy and good judgment have had their
reward. Treasurer G.. 7. Licklider,
Secretary RS. NJ. Hoffman and the
various superintendent and assistants
have all worked with an enthusiasm
and faithfulness that puts the associa-
ton under debt of gratitude to them.
There are not quite as many fakirs
on hand this year as there have been
at previous fairs. The management
does not allow gambling or swindling
games, so this class of citizens find no
opportunity here. 1t is source Of
general regret among the children,
however, that there is no merry-go-
round at the fair. The last Legislature
of West Virginia imposed tax of $25
a week on fying-horse outfits, and
owners give the State the go-by now.
The trap-shooting tournament, un-
der the management Of Mr.. Elmer E.
Shaner, of Pittsburg, and DR.. 7. c.
Stotler, Of Shepherdstown, began yes
terday and will be continued today.
Burt Claridge, Of Baltimore, yesterday
won the Morgan's Grove trophy, an L.
C. Smith hammerless gun. He made
a score of 46 out ola possible so. There
are some good shooters present from
New York, Washington, Maryland,
Virginia and Mississippi.
Tomorrow friday the Morgan's
Grove baby show will be held prompt
ly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The
prettiest baby will receive silver cup,
the latest baby S. in gold, the tint
est baby $3.50 in gold, and the finest
twins $3.50 in gold. Competitors
must be under two years old. Mr..
Waitman Barbe is the orator of the
day.
Hon. Joseph S. Miller, Commission
er of Internal Revenue Of the United
States, was among the prominent visi-
tors to the fair yesterday. Mr.. Miller
interested himself particularly in GER
tain matters connected with the sue
cess of the fair this year, and the Off
Gals are glad of an opportunity to en-
terrain him.
The parade of live stock yesterday
was fine. We think there have never
been so many frst-rate driving horses
shown as this year, and there were
excellent riding horses, too, Charles
E. Jones, of Kearneysville, got the
premium of ten dollars for the best
four-horse team.
Mr.. R. S. NJ. Hoffman, secretary Of
the fair association, was taken sudden
ly i'll on Tuesday and was very sick
for time. 1t is supposed that over
work made him i'll, as the duties of
the secretary were particularly onerous
on Tuesday.
The Keedysville Band, fifteen pieces,
of which the veteran David Kretzer is
the efficient leader, and the Febry
Female Band, of st. James, furnished
excellent music yesterday.
As we go to press this morning We
hicles by the hundred are passing
through town bound for the fair, and
the indications are that an enormous
crowd will be present.
