Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1899-07-29
Eastern shore Agricultural Fair.

The catalogues of twenty second
exhibition of the Eastern Shore Ag.
ricultural Association having been re-
ceived from press are being distribu-
ted as far and as rapidly as possible.
They will be sent to any individual
address upon application. Read the
catalogue carefully and send one or
more exhibits TO the Fair. There is
no household in the county, perhaps,
but what could furnish some exhibit
Of interest for some of the depart
ments. If no specific premium is
offered for your particular articles
bring it any way-our policy has al
ways been liberal in giving specials.
Bring the odd, the useful, the histor-
ical, the beautiful. One corner of the
hall will be devoted to curios, Spanish
war relics, sc.
Exhibitors would save themselves
no little inconvenience and the Off
GERS some delay by sending in list
OF their exhibits and receiving their
tags in advance. These could be
neatly attached to the proper article
and upon reaching the grounds Tues
day morning nothing would remain
to be done but to deliver them to the
proper superintendent to be put in
position. Those who in former years
have been compelled to walt their
turn will no doubt act on this sug-
gestion.
The race programme, as changed,
appears in this issue Of all the local
papers The amended card will be
sent out Saturday.
As it now stands, the management
believes that it will give place for
every Eastern Shore horse, at the
same time guaranteeing to the public
the best racing ever witnessed on
these grounds.
Attention of the horsemen is asked
