FROM ALL SECTIONS.
From the above card 1t will be seen
that all sections of the county ana
some ouside counties are represented
in the tifty-four entries. Scranton
and Carbondale horses are In every
race. and local sportsmen will un-
doubtedy be out in force every day OF
the fair.
The judges OF the sixteen depart
ments into which the fair is divided
will not be named publicly. This
course is taken so that no influence
can be brought to bear on them by
individual exhibitors or personal &C.
quaintances. The directors of the fair
consider this to be the only just
course. The awarding of the pre-
miums is naturally a somewhat deli
cate task, as, of course. each contest
ant thinks his or her exhibit is the
best in the fair and the more quietly
the decisions of the judges can be
rendered the less chance there Is for
hard feelings or controversy.
