devote entirely to entries and fitting
up the grounds and buildings aud
the placing the exhibits in position.
: On Wednesday the fair began in earn
est The attendance was smaller than
usual on the second day of the fair, but
all who were present expressed them
selves well pleased with the fair. On
Thursday the attendance was the larg-
est, the crowd being near four thousand
people. The attendance was small
again on Friday, but it was one of the
most interesting days of the fair. The
departments were all foil and the ex-
hibits were far better than ever before.
The poultry exhibits were especially
Messrs. Snyder Bane, of near Charles
Town and Thos. III. Seabright, of Win
chester, each having about twenty-five
coops on exhibition.
The display of buggies, carriages and
agricultural implements was larger and
of more varied character than usual,
and the Kings Daughters had done
much towards filling up the ladies' de-
partment. There were side shows,
( dancing and music, besides all sorts OF
takers to entertain the people. One Of
the best features of the fair was the alb
sence of the set of thieving gamblers
who usually prey OH the people at the
modern county fair. The vultures were
on hand, but Deputy Sheriff Hollis al
rested one on Tuesday and put an end
to their nefarious robbery. The whole
crowd dispersed and was not seen again
at the fair. The veterans, VIM. A.
Pitzer, ticket seller, and Marsh Melon
aid, gate-keeper ran the admission gates
ITO the satisfaction of all. Manager
Dodd, and Chief Marshal, r. G. Burk-
hart, were present each day and con-
tributed much to the success of the fair.
The Martinsburg gun club conducted
the shooting tournament which was an
important feature.
