Additional Premium Awards.
The fifteenth annual Inwood fair
came TO a wet and inglorlous close FIJI
day, when Jupiter Pluvius took
very large hand in the proceedings
and drowned both the enthusiasm
ard the attendance. The annual baby
show and tournament were scheduled
for FIiday, but the rain put an end to
these events and kept everybody of
the grounds except those who were
compelled to remain there to guard
the exhibits yet remaining
The place was practically dismantled
today, many of those who had dis
PLAYS in the buildings pulling up
stakes and leaving for home. Very
little is expected of the last day, how
ever, so the rain did not operate to
hurt the exhibition as whole. The
attendance this year was up to the
average, and many thought the crowd
on Thursday was even larger than
last wear. One enterprising CORES
dent of Baltimore paper placed the
attendance at Is, 600 on Thursday. but
it is probable that he Inadvertently
slippeq the figure into the estimate
through an ersor of his typewriter.
All in all, however, the fair was sue
cess, and served its purpose admirably
that of furnishing a common ground
where thousands of the people of
Berkeley county could meet and have
a good time, renew acquaintances and
see what progress is being made along
agricultural, horticultural and stock
raising in this and adjoining counties
