BLoOMsBURG's GREAT FAIR.
The Big Exhibition Now in Full Blast
Greater, Grander than Ever.

The annual exhibit of the Col
umbia County Agricultural Society
opened auspiciously on Tuesday.
The Bloomsbury fair has long been
recognized as one of the biggest
and best in Central Pennsylvania,
or as the Sunbury Item of Monday
puts it: "The Bloomsbury Fair bows
to the Allentown exhibit only,
among all the Fairs of the great
Keystone State" 1t is needless
for us to state that the fair this year
will be fully up to the standard.
Every department is filled up. The
entire space in the large exhibition
building is occupied as it has never
been before. the displays being
larger, more varied and haudsomer
than ever.
Among the leading attractions on
the ground are the Ferris wheel
and the Motor Cycle Whirl. There
are the usual number Of side shows
of various descriptions, all the
managers Of which promise you
more than your moneys worth.
Further explanation Of the numer-
OTIS attractions is hardly necessary
as you are no doubt planning a visit,
and you can see for yourself.
The races. which are always an
interesting feature, will be hotly
contested. There is an unusually
large list of entries, including a
number Of horses with records under
2:1o, and in all probability the
track record of 2:oS1i will be brok
en-. Here is the list in full, pick
out the winners:
