The agricultural exhibit Of E. ID.
Hall & Son was we'll worthy OF a
lengthy inspection. They had every
thing in the line of machinery that
the up-to- date farmer is likely to need
from q gripdstone up to road wagon.
Hanway & Keen had an ingenious
arrangement in the shape Of build
ing erected out Of building material
which they have for sale. The sides
were bundles of shingles and rooted
over it presented unique appear
ance. ,-.rI
In the buggy line, Mr.. George B,
Hays had an excellent lot Of vehicles.
He also showed business and pleasure
wagons in endless variety.
The tent OF Smith. Rouse & Web
ster, bankers and brokers, was one
very attractive features of the Fair.
In It was placed long distance tele.
phone which was of great service to
their friends as well as the public. In
the rear a charming ia BILE was set with
a light lunch to which all were invited
to partake.
One very familiar figure was missed
the first time since a county fair has
been held in Bel Air. We allude TO
Mr.. J. Crawford Thompson. The sad
misfortunes which have befallen him
since the last exhibition, are familiar
| to all our readers. On all sides could
be heard the warmest expressions of
sympathy.
The fakirs were very much in evil
dence all over the grounds. The
directors made strenuous efforts to
prevent any swindling games and sew,
eral were summarily put off on Wed,
nesday
The exhibits of the Fallston and
wilma Farmers Clubs were of a very
creditable nature. 1t would be hard
to tell which was the winner as each
possessed many individual merits
This is feature which cannot be toe
strongly commended. 1t shows that
the farmers are wide awake and uI
to date as well as.any other class Of
business men.
The clothing exhibit of Hamburger
& Son attra cted general interest. Al
the latest styles of fall and winter
wear we're tastefully displayed and the
prices marked on all the goods were
in reach of the most modest purses
Mr.. William E. Bosley, formerly OF
this county, was in charge Of the ex
hibit. .....
Col. Robert Hough, who has been
the starter for years past, was warm
ly welcomed by his many old friends
He bears the reputation among horse
men Of being one of the fairest in the
State. While his manner is pleasant
yet the tricky driver knows to hi
sorrow that the Colonel has a keen
discerning eye and he had better be
ware.
1t is expected that the track record
will be lowered in the free for-all race
today. There are some very fast
horses entered and good race is ex
pected. ..'
| The Aberdeen Cornet Band furnish
ed excellent music for the Fair. One
act which they deserve special com
mendation for is their playing In the
town in the mornings before starting
for the grounds. The people have
been making vain efforts for years to
have the bands do this at fair times
because it furnishes entertainment
for the many strangers who do not &c
direct to the grounds.
In the main building Mr.. W. G.
Jeffrey occupies his old space with
Weaver and Miller organs. Weaver
pianos and a variety of sewing ma.
chimes. 1t was an attractive display,
showing the exhibitors we'll recogniz.
ed taste.
Mr.. G. G. Butler of Delta had an
excellent display of harness and sad
| dies.
John A. Young, optician, of Bel Air
showed number Of optical goods.
| The Vermont Farm Machine Com
pany was represented by Mr.. R. D.
Phillips who had on exhibition the
celebrated Cooler dreamer and cream
| separator.
Mr.. G. E. Brown showed splendid
exhibit of sewing machines, Estey
organs and Franklin pianos.
In the carriage line Mr.. Robert G.
Richardson had a magnificent dis
play of vehicles to the left of the Elk.
hibition hall.
Forwood & Co. showed extensive
samples Of their Chanlee patent wire
fence and fencing.
w. E. Burns & Bros, of Havre de
Grace and W. 8. Bulett also had good
displays of carriages. .

choice fowls on exhibition. E,
