Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

| Of the Montgomery County Agricultural So
! ciety, began here this morning. and Will
continue four days. 1t Is the forty ninth
| annual fair held by the society, and the in
dications are that it's success will far sur
pass all previous records.
| Visitors to the fair today were agreeably
| surprised at the transformation the
grounds have undergone since the last ex
hibition. The old third-of-a-mile track was
no longer to be seen. but in it's place was
splendid half-mile course, which horsemen
generally declare to be the equal Of any
| similar-sized track in the state; new and
handsome grand stand stood upon the site
of the old one; many new stables were in
evidence, and numerous improvements to
the buildings and grounds were noticed.
These extensive changes were not accom-
plished, however, without hard work on the
part of the managers of the society and
outlay of about $4,000.
The scenes IN the grounds today were
those usually attending the opening day at
county fair. The arranging of exhibits,
the work of the fakirs and showmen get
ting things in proper shape for business,
and the activity of the carpenters and
others in putting on the finishing touches
to this thing and that, presented a decid-
eddy busy scene. Although the exhibits
were not required to be in place until 4
o clock this afternoon, noon found nearly
all available space occupied, and the gen
eral opinion was that the display in the
various departments equaled, if not ex-
celled that of former fairs.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the sea-
son. the exhibit of vegetables is excellent,
as are the displays of farm and dairy
products. In the household department the
exhibit Is very extensive, including domes-
tic manufactures of various kinds, fruits,
1ell1es. preserves, works of art and many
other things.
Fine Display of Stock.
AS tta
hogs and sheep is unusually fine, and but
for the lack of space would have been much
larger. There is also a fine display of poul-
try and pigeons
The attendance during the morning was
small but in the early afternoon visitors
began 10 hle into the grounds, and by the
time the first race was called the usual
I opening day crowd was on hand
Tomorrow will be one of the big days of
the fair and a large crowd is expected. The
program for the day includes the judging of
exhibits, beginning at 8 o'clock At $50
o'clock there will be a grand cavalcade of
stock. followed by the races, which begin at
1880
A decidedly pleasing feature of the fair
is the presence of the Woodsboro Brass
Band.
