Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1905-08-26
Keller Fair.

Next week ushers in the best fair
Keller has held for the past % years.
Everything has the "fair look" at the
grounds. The track Is faster than 1t
has been for years and is covered from
morning till night by the many horses
which have been entered. The crowd
which gathers daily to see the work
outsn is as large as 1t has been In
MANY previous years on the regular
fair days. The stables are already
full and it will be necessary for the
management to build new ones to ac-
commodate the horses which are daily
arriving. Among the horses already
at the grounds are: West Eddie, a
horse owned by Beloate, which has
shown such wonderful bursts OF speed
that he justly deserves to be classed
with Eastern Shores fastest horses.
John E. Roberts, the driver of Lady
Ruth and Lamp Girl, has several
horses in his charge among which is
grey PAGER that will either win first
money in the races in which he starts
or carry the winning horse way down
below 2:2O. Kellam and Beloate have
among many others, three horses be-
longing to Harry Mears, which show
every evidence of giving the horse
that beats them an awful run for the
money. The horses are Mamie j.,
Harry and Robin Hood. The first
two are already well known on East
ern Shores tracks, and the third will
be after Keller fair. Robin Hood is
comparatively a new horse to the
Shore but is an old hand at the racing
game as is shown by his record also
by his treatment of everything he
"works outn with. The Bull Brothers
are at the grounds with several Tasley
winners. Among others they have
Lightning, the king of Eastern Shore
horses. Lightning will start and should
win even if he has to lower the track
record to do it. Nevertheless there is
strong rumor at the fair grounds to
the effect that something new will be
discovered next week-something
faster than l(L)ightning. These are
few of the horses that will start
The space allotted to us is not suffici-
ent to give a detailed list, but it is
enough to say that every race from
the 18th to the 1st will be well filled
and driven from wire to wire. II you
care anything for racing you can't
afford to miss a single day.
The baseball outlook is equally
bright. The baseball secretary and
manager, Mr.. j. s. Benson, tells us
that he will furnish a game each day,
over in front of the grand stand be-
. tween Accomac and Northampton's
fastest teams. At present he expects
to arrange at least one game between
picked team from Northampton and
like team from Accomac. Any team
desiring to make any arrangements
for game either day should write }
, S. Benson, Keller, Va, at once.
!. The flying horses and side shows Of
every description will be there il
abundance. Besides the old set of side
attractions the management has sew
eral new features along this line which
, will be pleasant surprises.
In a word, the management has ar
,. ranged fair for the four days begin
ming next Tuesday which will exec
q any in It's long history of % years. Al
nature seems to look with approve
upon their efforts; the weather maj
. has promised four pretty. days; tn
good money potatoes are bringing t
\ the Shore make it possible for all t
attend this the last and best event
! the pleasant summer of )O5. Th
= management extends an invitation
. all to come and enjoy the first for
% days. W.
