SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED.
Attractive Features Being Prepared
for the Rockville Fair.
CNrreSn0ndence NJ ha


for the Rockville Fair.
Correspondence of The evening Star
ROCKVILLE. Md, August Q, 1896.
Preparations for the forty-third annual
exhibition OF the Montgomery County ARri-
cultural Society, which will be given at the
fair grounds here on the first four days of
September, are progressing in a most salts
factory manner, and the indications are
that the affair will be the most attractive
and successful in the history Of the society,"
The premium list is larger than ever before
and the awards more substantial, and this
feature has created a wider interest among
farmers, cattlemen and others, who will
compete for distinctive honors.
The races are filling rapidly, and there are
now about thirty-five horses at the stables
getting down to condition, and being famil-
iarized with the going and the turns. The
track itself has been greatly improved, and
there have been general improvements
throughout the grounds that will greatly
add to the convenience Of exhibitors and
the comfort of the public. The grand stand
has been enlarged. and all the inner braces
removed and the roof OF the structure
raised and supported on the cantilever
principle. The fifty stables that were de-
stroyed by fire several months ago have
been replaced by more commodious struc-
pens have been built in a better location
than the old ones occupied. new poultry
building has been erected, and this display
promises to be one Of the most striking
features of the exhibition. An additional
force of judges and secretaries will be en-
gagged this year to meet the increased num-
Der of exhibits. The demand for privil-
eyes for amusements, entertainments and
attractions usual at county fairs is greater
than ever before in the history of the soci-
ely. Bicyclists residing in Montgomery. as
well those of the District of Columbia,
will be given opportunities to try for valu-
this new feature at Rockville will undoubt-
eddy attract big crowd.
The horse races will include events in the
2:2U. 2:25 2:27, 2:45 and $50 classes for
trotters; 2:22 class for PAGERS; for untried
roadsters owned in the county, owners to
drive; for trotters four years old and under
owned in the county; an open event for
trotters Of all ages owned in the county.
For the runners there will be a race for
horses foaled and owned in the county; an
open event Of six furlongs and repeat, and
hurdle races, six furlongs and repeat, and
two furlongs and repeat. and a mile dash
hurdle. The purses range in value from
800 for the 2:2O trotting class to SO for the
trots and PAGES will be the best three in
five heats, and close contests are looked for
because all the good horses in this section
of the country will be here. The reason for
this is that there are no counter attractions
in the shape Of similar affairs anywhere in
the vicinity, and the owners Of most of the
stables to be at the Leesburg, Va, fair
August 25-27, have expressed their intention
OF coming to Rockville.

expressed his willingness 70 be one Of a
committee OF business men who would call
on the authorities of the Metropolitan
Railway Company and ask that the dis
charged men be reins.ated III their former
positions. and in this connection one OF the
leading members of the assembly stated
that ne had recently had conversation
on the subject Of the pending troubles be-
tween the railway men and the railroad
company with a prominent merchant doing
business on + street. during which the lat
yer expressed the hope that the men would
get back to work before the opening Of the
fall trade as he feared the agitation Of the
matter at that time would be detrimental
to business on that street.
A communication was also received from
several warm friends OF the locke>l-ou, men
suggesting that mass meeting in the in

Total delegates. -.

| The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at it's said meeting, all Dem.
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party ON the leading
principles enunciated in its Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro.
posed territorial convention, if so it be
that they are chosen as representatives
at county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, it is
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
attended and memorable gathering of
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizens of this territory, within the pur-
view of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
to constitute said convention and in the
important work of the same.
