THE WORLDS FAIR
TUNBRID0E'S ANNUAL EXHIBIT
FULLY up TO THE MARK.


Only One Fair Day.--But That Big
One.--FuII Displays in All De-
partments. --WeII Contested RAJ
ces.--Some Good Records Made.
The oath Of the Worlds fair socie-
ty's exhibitions held at Tunbridge last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
was m arked by large and fine exhib-
its in all departments, the best-behaved
crowds that ever attended fair and
some very interesting horse races.
The exhibits in the various depart
ments were said to have been much
larger and better than those seen at
any of the other fairs held in this vi
entity.
The proverbial good fortune that
usually attends the exhibitions given
by the Worlds fair society did not
follow its change OF date, made after
the Woodstock people had decided to
take the dates first named by the.
Worlds fair society. Tuesday was
not promising day. Wednesday
was wet and decidedly gloomy and on
ly small crowd attended the fair.
Not until Thursday was fair weather
given. This was fine day and there
was crowd.
