The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1900-10-12


goes the past shade better.
Our Big Fair is now attracting
widespread attention and it's fame
is ever on the increase.
The one item that makes any
out door sport or entertainment
a success, we have had in plenty
beautiful weather.
The Fortieth Annual Exhibi-
ton of the Frederick County Ag-
ricultural Society, as it is officially
designated, began on Tuesday
morning last, and closes tonight,
with record for perfect success
and enjoyment, socially and fl
nancially.
Everywhere the good points of
the fair were seen and especially
was this so in the household
and live stock departments. Here
was seen the greatest exhibit of
the work of wife, mother and
daughter from fine art creations
to tOothsome delicacies in Jars
and cans. The space given up
to this feature is unusually
crowded.
In live stock there is the best
the land affords. From high bred
roadsters and track horses to the
ordinary light and heavy draft
kind, they are on display by the
hundreds. The stock pens and
stalls are all taken up and here
can be seen every variety of cat
tie, hogs, sheep and poultry.
Among those having the larg-
est and best exhibits of horses
are Messrs. Benjamin White,
G. N. Hargett, Arthur Potts,
Charles Wertheimer, j. S. Dut-
row, Ohio Gaver and Arunah
Rogers. In the cattle department
the following have fine exhibits:
G. w. Mulliker, of Youn gstown,
Ohio; j. T. Converse and Com
pany, of Jefferson County, Pa;
Joseph Blair, of Crawford
County, Pa; Robert Watson, of
Mineral Ridge, Ohio; and these
local exhibitors: W. e. Kefauver,
G. N. Hargett, G. L. Wachter,
John Humm, j. w. Dorsey and
w. L. SpOnseller.
In all the other departments
Frederick farmers, stock breed
ers, merchants and dealers of all
kinds, have good displays of their
wares.
In the machinery department,
the art exhibit, general exhibit
ton hall and where not, there is
much to attract your attention
and please the eye. 1t is one
great school of instruction in all
branches of human knowledge
and those who take advantage
of it's opportunities are greatly
benefited.
The attendance at the Fair
during the week has been far in
excess of other years. On We'd
nesday it was estimated that 90
600 people were on the grounds
and this figure was doubled on
Thursday, the big day.
More strangers were present
than usual and several parties
came over the road in automobiles
which attracted much attention.
The races were most interest
ing and closely contested. On
Wednesday in the 2.19 trot and
pace, one horse fell down on the
lower turn and those in the rear
went into him causing general
smash-up. Every sulky but one
was damaged and one horse and
driver badly used up. 1t is a
wonder that more were not SER
iously injured.
On Tuesday there was only one
race, the 2.22 trot and pace.
Ethel Eakin won in straight
heats, with Twilight second. Pc.
tOmac, owned by G. S. Huffer,
Burkittsville. this county, got
fourth money and trotted game
race.
On Wednesday Blasa won the
2.19 trOt and pace, with Walter
Il. second.
In the 2.27 class Redmont won
with promise second and Laertes
third. The latter horse belongs
to Smith Bros, this city. Nc
FOnso won the running race. II.
w. Burrass was starting judge.
Each day there were jumping
contests and several fine exhi-
billions of skill in this line were
seen.
