CHASING NJ ihe Fair.


Closing of ihe Fair.
The twenty-third annual Fair closed on r RI
dav afternoon. There is no possible doub
that had the weather been propitious, the eS
hibition would have ranked as one OF III
most successful in the history of the society
Thursday and Friday We're both gala days
the latter being remarkably so for closln!
day. The idea of the officials in making tn
last day "children's day." is one that shoul'
be made permanent, as the hundreds OF happ,
youngsters testified.
The Amusement Committee, while unable
to carry out their programme as advertised
presented attractions which were grotesque al
well as unique. The Davenport Brothers, al
the Athletic Brownies, gave variety OF vault
ing, tumbling and buresque boxing whicL
was very amusing and Harry Parks, the
bicyclist certainly deserves the encomium'
which he has received from the press and pub
lie. His performance on the single wheel wat
wonderful.
| The parade of the wheelmen was special
feature and worthy of notice. The machines
were beautifully decorated with tinsel and
coored paper. The Is to l part of the pro-
gramme gave rise to a great deal OF mirth,
especially as the corpulent champion OF the
single standard rode sturdily along In the
| guise of Mark Hanna. Those taking part In
the parade were Moores Maynadier, Frank
Mclean, Fred. Harvard, Arthur Jewens,
Emory McComas, Harry Carver, George Slice,
| Charles McComas, Clifford d. Rosan Hebb
Smith, Archer Hays, Atchison Reckord and
Harry Harkins. MIR. Joseph W. Chamber
lane acted as Mark Hanna.
