ELKToN FAIR A FAILURE.

Elkton, Nd, Sept 12.-The i'll sue
Gees of the Cecil county fair, at Elkton,
this year, Is causing anxiety to all the
progressive citizens who are engaged
in the enterprise. Everything was done
to pleaee the agricultural and Indus
trial elements and by having tirst-class
exhibits in every department to make
the fair attractive. For the first time
in the history of the association the
opening day was set apart for farmers.
Horse racing was not permitted on that
day in order to give the farmers full
swing. Special exhibits of farm pro
ducts were brought on from Burling-
ton county, New Jersey, at consider
able cost, because it was thought they
would interest all the Cecil county
farmers. Yet the farmers were con-
spicuous by their absence, and of al
the people that did attend on the open
ing day the farmer was in the minor
ity. In years past this was not the
case. The farmers with their families
were always to be seen among the firs'
on the grounds. The opinion of not g
| few people Is that agricultural fairs are
fact losing their interest and other
things are replacing them. This year
the management allowed no gambling
on the grounds, no side shows, and few
if any, fakirs. The snake charmer was
absent, and the continual beating O
the drum by band Of Ministries wal
not allowed to disturb the quiet Of tn,
grounds. There was nothing to hum
bug the people or to cheat them; it wal
a moral show, and it deserved a bette
fate.
