The last survivor of the host Of fairs
and cattle shows, which once were given
I'm the limits OF the state, is that OF the
Washington County Agricultural society,
which opened it's 18th annual fair at
Kingston. yesterday. The day was an
ideal one and the crowds which took ad-
vantage OF IL found many things to oc-
cupy their attention in the Exhibition
hall and about the cattle sheds. and then
I'm the afternoon the horse racing and
vaudeville show furnished ample at
traction TO keep every one amused and
happy.
The strident priced barkers OF the fake
shows and these dubious attractions
themselves are conspicuous In their alb
sence. but the fortune tellers. pop corn.
candy and soda drink vendors as well as
the restaurant men are m good numbers.
Flowers OF all varieties that are grown
here are shown in profusion In the Ex-
hibltion hall. as well as big variety or
fancy needlework.
The cattle sheds have a fine showing
of fancy stock that attracts much at
tention from farmers and breeders and
the exhibit Of agricultural products is a
great one.
