NORTHERN NECK AGRI-
CULTURAL FAIR.
This annual fair opened Wednes-
day of last week on its fair grounds
near Heathsville, Northumberland
county, and closed Friday afternoon
after one of the most successful
fairs held there in recent years. The
crowds all three days were good but
on Thursday it was far above the
average, while the racing was among
the prettiest ever seen in the North
ern Neck. AS scheduled balloon as.
tensions were made the second and
third days, the aeronautist on the
latter day, however, did not escape
without little shaking up, for it
appears tina, she alighted on one side
of the roof of a house and fell. the
parachute going on the opposite side.
Her injuries were not serious.
The police did their duty welr and
the track was kept clear, while the
order ON the grounds was perfect,
there not even being an argument
with the many fakirs who were on
the grounds with numerous games
of chance. Following is list Of
the races;

hardly thought that "McKinley"

seconds.

The above race attracted consider
able attention, and at its conclusion
enthusiasm ran high. Capt. Cooper
was presented with a handsome
bouquet and carried a goodly distance
on the shoulders of his many ad-
mirers. Although the time does not
show up very we'll it is acknowledged
that these are the fastest horses OF
the Northern Neck and great many
people believe that "Sable Rock" will
win easily at the Kilmarnock Fair
this week, "Sable Rock" was
awarded the first premium as being
the prettiest and finest stallion on
exhibition at the grounds.
