THE MoReAN's GROVE FAIR

heretofore, and the crowds in attend
ance perhaps not as large, there was,
as usual, much interest manifested.
The finances turned out all right, and
there will be fund for improvements
next year. Thursday was the biggest
day, and the crowd was very large
one, although the counter attraction
at Waynesboro prevented the usual
number from coming from Hagerstown.
Take it all in all, the fair was an ex-
cellent one, and we hear the managers
already discussing new plans and new
features for next year.
The baby show was one Of the most
interesting features of the fair. There
were many entries Of babies of every
size and degree of beauty, and the
three ladies who acted as judges, Mrs.
Warren Tyson, of Frederick, Mrs.
Hugh P. Allen, of Pittsburg, and Mrs.
Edward Beach, of GAINESVILLE, Tennes-
see, had hard time deciding upon the
infants entitled to the prizes. They
finally agreed upon the winners, and
then hastily left the stand and disap-
peared. The master of ceremonies,
H. L. Snyder, then announced the
names of the successful contestants,
held each one up for the admiration
of the great crowd that surrounded
the pavilion, and then presented the
prizes. The prettiest baby was Leona
Roberts, daughter of Edward and
Emily Roberts, of the Sandy Ridge
neighborhood she received hand
some silver cup. The latest baby,
one of many chunky little cherubs,
was Mary E. Boyer, daughter Of John
G. and Sarah V. Boyer, of Browns
Crossing, the prize being fve-dollar
gold piece. The tiniest baby was a
boy, William Henry Rohr, son of John
H. and Margaret L, Rohr, Of the Uvilla
neighborhood. He got $3.50 in gold.
No twins were entered this year.
