There is possibly some good reason but
it is not generally understood, why it is
that the management Of the Delaware State
Fair do not secure for at least one day in
the week excursion rates to the Fair The
Delaware Railroad runs excursions from
Wilmington to Rehoboth and return for
$1.25 the round trip, and it is difficult to
understand why it is that those who desire :
to attend the Fair are compelled to pay
1920 railroad fare and an entrance fee of ,
80 cents to the exhibition. If the officers
of the Fair can secure for one day an ex-
cursion rate of $l.75 including admission
fee, from the upper and lower parts of the
State, they would probably have more
people on the grounds than they haYe had
for several years.-Lewes Pilot.
