| GREAT CARNIVAL uF SPUKF.
LampGrr' and stelin Star Per"rmer s
The Directors of Peninsula Fai
Association have always predicted {
great exhibition at their first meeting
August 2. 3, 4, & 8. and with entries
now in and speed department closed
they are proud to say their most san
guine expectations have been ex
ceeded.
Every good horse known to then
on the E. s. Va. g. Md. will contest
for these prizes.
The wonderful mare Lamp Cir
will meet her old rival Stella anG
again question her right to be called
queen OF e. 8. turf; both are in fine
fettle and a treat Is in store for al
who love to see the best win-the J
go The first day in the s:20 class
Bursa. the noted sire and pride Of
Northampton, will ask recognition in
this race and with the aid of Clandon
the entry of Mr.. Steel, Of Norfolk
will see they do not loiter on theil
Journey. This should be the race oil
the Fair.
In the 2:35 trot large field OF even.
ly matched horses will face the start
er, including such well known horses
as Lady Maude, Flight, Lady Clay,
Basil Morrill, Lasso c., Maggie D.
and BERTHE. This is anybody's race
Name the winner.
In the 2.1S trot and 2:2O pace, that
brave and honest horse, Little Guy,
will try conclusions with Roeedale,
Lamp Girl, Happy Wilk, Bursa and
Princess Eulalia. If he is on his foot
the horse that beats him will receive
first money. Watch our prediction.
Baltimore, Norfolk and E. s. of Md.
are represented in this race and a
PAGERS duel is looked for.
In the 2:25 trot and 2:28 pace Mr..
John Dugan, the noted horseman OF
Washington. will bring with his
stable that promising mare Princess
Orloff and expects to be amply re-
warded for his trouble. But j. R.,
Little Guy and Alienist-the latter of
Baltimore, have promised to keep her
on her stride.
In $50 class that shapely and hand
some horse, Boston, owned by Mr.. B.
T. Nelson will make his debut in the
fast company OF Oakly, Annie, Car
dover, Rocket, White Stone and Bur
sary; 1t is safe to say he will not be
seen in the $50 class again II he wins
this race.
Then comes that awkward squad
OF 9 year olds; there is simply host
of them; all good ones, and worked
out well; but he will be smart man
who can pick the first under the wire
We cannot take more space in
speaking OF the other classes; suffice
it to say, they are full and well
matched.
Entries have not closed in other de-
partments, but we have every reason
to expect creditable showing.
The ladies are working hard to
have beautiful displays and decora-
tons in their department.
Come and encourage this laudable
enterprise. Money has not been and
will not be spared in making this the
finest fair grounds south OF Phila-
delphia.
