Early this morning the farmers be-
gan TO arrive On the scene with the
exhibits. On top If the hill under
two big tents are the exhibits of
farm produce" side by side are the
different varieties of grapes, pears
and apples. Pumpkins that are
surprisingly large hod place side
with the watermelon and cante!opc.
White potatoes Of a quality seldom
seen in mnrket are these beneath the
shade of corn stalks over IL feet in
highth while opposite stand the nam.
moth stalks and flowers.
The Arnold Madam exhibits Of
well bred cattle are noticed by all
admirers as tlr5t-class stock.
The machinery ami farming
utensils display is large and varied.
But all teet and cves turu to the
dancing pavilion. There you are
surprised at the beauty OF the DIS
play and wonder how farmers
wives and daughters could turn out
such quilts, centre pieces, doIlles,
pillows, pillow shams and other
Articles. Scarcely have YOU stopped
wondering at these tEan you see
the shawls and other knitted ar.
ticles. Severa. hand-palnted ex-
hlblts in this al are admired.
But the ,hings .hat make your
heart wish are on the other tables.
There you see the straw berries
jarring with the pear while the
peach claims TO be king until The
Ahubarb gets 1T with whAck that
makes the huckieberry relish the
company Of the jelly and honey,
Then there arc sach pretty cakes,
rolls and apple PIES Just like the
ones mother made and the little
rusk sticks TO the puAveriled sugar
lest the big homemade loaves OF
bread would cause lruuule.
Flowers IN abundance and va
riety next take your attention. John
Il. Cochran has charge o! several
dozen o. choice cut flowers IRON
Claymont whlch cannot hut be adj
mived. The committee members
are as busy as the hive o bees on
exhibition. They talk as g.ee!uliy
as the plymouth Rock rooster
which tells his nelghbors about the
landins OF the Pilgrim fathers.
The ladies look as pretty as the
doves which are enviea by the less
admired pigeons,
Every body seems to be at the
fair. Carriages arrived at the
grounds this morning in droyes.
Chester county farmers and tn cir
wives saluted New Castle county
farmers and the Mlll Creek pride
grasped the hand oi his Pencader
brother, while Brandy wine and
White Clay Creek farmers chattcd
over the farming situation. eX-
changed IDEAS and talked about
the prices d arm products
The trolley cars were packed by
friends and admirers OF the farmer
and his products, Ih. Park will

put in service.
