ted upon the eficiency of it's police

the day, but were so slight as to do no
damage or cause any Inconvenience.
Friday, the last day of the fair,
somewhat unusual, opened up bright
and clear, and consequently the crowd
on this day was much larger than
usual. The principal feature Of this
day was the famous BABY Show an
event that always inspires the hearts
of the mothers to show to the public
the proudest and dearest treasures Of
their married life. Long before 2
o'clock, the hour for the ceremonies to
begin, the speakers stand was crowd
ed with the innocent little aspirants
for the prizes. Mr.. II. L. Snyder,
who has always had charge Of this
part of the programme, was unable to
be present on account of i'll health,
and Mr.. H. NJ. Turner acted in his
stead. The following children were
the successful ones with the different
prizes received. Harriet Scollay Brier-
ly, aged seventeen months, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Harry Briefly, Of Darkes-
Vile, was adjudged the prettiest baby
and awarded a silver cup. The fat
test baby was James Lee Carper, of
Middleway, and he received s. gold
piece. The tiniest baby was Christine
Maddox, eight weeks old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Turner w Maddox, Of
Shepherdstown, who received a $3.50
gold piece The finest twins were
Harry Grover and James Harrison,
sons Of Mr.. John Ramey, Of Dufhelds.
They got $3.50 in gold. Rev. Frank
Mcdaniel, of Newark, n. j., made an
appropriate speech in presenting the
premiums.
The above event was the last on
the programme, and as soon as it was
over every one seemed in a hurry.
The different vendors began to close
out their stocks of goods at low prices,
exhibitors began preparation to re-
move their exhibits, tents were folded,
and by shutdown the grove presented
a deserted appearance.
Too much credit cannot be given
the managers and assistants Of the
different departments for their efforts
to make each and everyone success,
and also for the able manner in which
they were conducted during the exhl-
bition. Lack Of space prevents us
from individual comment, but the Of
fcers and all who aided during the
exhibition have the praise and thanks
of the public for such successful ex-
hibition
