exhibits were left on the grounds until
after the races closed. and the shows
were in full blast to the last moment,
The day was patterned after the day
before. and was a model fair day. The
races were OF the arst order, and some
Of the best going ever saw on the track
was witnessed yesterday. The differ
ent halls Of exhibit had lost none OF
their attractions, and visitors were ex-
amlnlng the exhibits during the entire
day.
Prof. /. B. Wilson'S exhibit Of musical
instruments attracted the attention Of
everybody. Harry Ransom, blind boy
of MoundsviIle. was at the plano. and
rendered some very sweet and excellent
music. The prize of s25 set of Bncy-
clopedias to the school furnishing the
best specimen of penmanshlp by the
pupils was given TO Room No. 3,
MOundsville, Miss Hattie N. Johnson,

rlages and wagons by G. T. Geiseler &
Son, OF Shirrard. attracted much atten-
ton. C. v. Riley. Of Pleasant Valley.
also had good exhibit of wagons and
grain drills. The bread department,
under the supervision of Mrs. Robert
Halpin, was a very attractive place
during the evening, when the exhibits
were being removed. Everybody want
ed to taste the cake with the red ribbon
on, and thanks to Mrs. Halpin and the
maker. Mrs. Royerson, the Intelllgencer
man can testify to Its good qualities.
The association will close up Its books
this year with q balance on the right
side of the cash account. 1t Is believed
that there will be enough TO pay Off all

for next year. This is something more
than they expected when the organiZa-
ton was effected only a little over two
years ago. The Ohio Valley Agrlcul-
tural association has certainly been for
tunate in the selection Of their officers
and managers. They are very much
encouraged over the outlook for an
other year, and as the president, DR..
I. n. Houston, indicated in a conversa-
ton last evening, they are already
looking ahead to next year and are
making arrangements to give the pub
lie a better fair even than the present
one has been.
An agreeable innovation in county
fair management was set by the
Moundsvllle people in securing profess
slonal judges for both their running and
trottIng races. Each require different
administration by expert officials, and
DR.. Lynch as Judge Of the trotters and
starter, as well as Judge Pettus, who
placed the runners, gave complete sat
isfnction In the performance Of their
respective duties. The last named
gentleman. a newcomer to this section,
is one of the best known running horse
judges in the country,
