ELKT0N FAIR
CALLED OFF.
LACK OF INTEREST MAKES
THIS ACTION NECESSARY.
The Managers Hold Meeting on We'd
neSday and Decide to Abandon the
Exhibition Next Week.

This is an age Of surprises, and Elkton and
Cecil county had their share on Wednesday
morning when the announcement came from
the meeting of Directors of the Cecil County
Agricultural Society held at that time, that
they had decided to abandon holding the
fair next week. This action was made
necessary 10y the lack OF entries in every de-
partment and although expenses of mora
than six hundred dollars had been incurred,
President Ellis and other members of the
Board saw ouly disaster staring them in the
face should the exhibition be held, and
deemed it best to stop right there rather than
add to the losses,
The news came as Il complete surprise, as
up to the very hour OF this decision the most
active preparations had been carried on.
Representatives of the association had been
sent here and there making up the programs
of speed, athletic contests, securing the
music. and issuing the advertising matter.
Leading athletes of the country were in
readiness to appear, the grounds had been
put in the pink Of condition, and the public
or Il part of it, at least, was holding itself in
readiness to view one Of the best exhibitions
from the amusement standpoint i'll the his
tory OF the association. But this was on the
outside. At the office of Secretary Bratton
matters were different. The expected entries
failed to materialize. The large premiums
offered for the speed contests failed complete
| ly to interest til" horscmcu, and outside of
the few Cecil county owncra. there were but
| two or three entries. In the stock, farm and
household departments there failed to be any
response on the part Of the people, who were
| doubtless held back from the fact that the
premiums last year We're only paid in half.
| The action of the many horscmen, who had
| always made their appearance on EIkton's
fine track seemed like boycott, and the
combination OF bad prospects was enough to
strike discouragement to the most hopeful.
The news in Elkton and everywhere in Cecil
county caused great regret.
| The directors at their meeting on Wednes-
day morning adopted these resolutions:
WHEREAS. 1t has become apparent to the
| Board of Managers Of the Cecil County
Agricultural Society from the small number
| Of entries made in all departments, especial-
| ly in the racing department, and from the
| general lack Of interest in the Fair, that the
Fair of 1899 cannot be conducted without in
curing Indebtedness we will be unable to
discharge.
| Resolved, That the only honorable course
| open to us is to declare the Fair Of 1899 off
while we are able to provide for debts already
incurred and for which we have made i'm
mediate provision.
Resolved. That we hereby declare the
| Fair OF 1899 off.
