Great Preparations Being Made
Race Track has Been Done

the Public.

sibly affect its success will be
bad weather.
Last year, it will lie remem-
bered, there was three days of
rain, and the Fair was but a
name only on Friday. Yet with
all that bad luck the association
made money, and if any one
cares to see how some of it is
being invested, a trip to the
Fair Grounds will show it most
plainly.
One of the greatest, and to the
hOrsemen the most necessary, i'm.
provementS has been that of
putting the race track in perfect
condition. The Wrestling house,
Church, Kerr Company, contract
ing engineers, drew up the plans,
and the association has had the
work done, which has taken up
most of the summer. Without
doubt it is now one of the finest
half-m mile tracks in the country.
The turns have been widened and
thrown up we'll, and the grades
have been leyeled up at both ends.
1t is now getting in fine shape
and those who have driven over
1t speak loud in its praise.
a fine track is not found at
every Fair Grounds, and this
special possession by the Fred
erick County Agricultural Asso
citation should attract a larger
field of hOrses-even larger than
last year, which was record one.
The Racing Committee, con
sisting of the President, j. Roger
McSherry and Harry W. Bowers,
have striven to make things es-
pecially attractive to the racing
fraternity this year. In addition
to the track Improvement there
are two 81 600 stake races. 9 20
pace, and 225 trot. Both Of
IIGSC CN CUTS dIt closed.
There are five 1900 races three
$500 events and the regular
purses for county horses The
starting judge this year Will be
Il E. Biggs, Of Baltimore. All
entries should be addressed to
j. Roger McSherry. Frederick.
President G.. A. L. Snoutfer is
i'll active cooperation with MeSsrs.
McSherry, RodOck, Stouffer and
others on the committee, and
things are getting III shape rap
idly. All that is necessary Is
good weather.
The list Of free attractions EN-
braces wide line of talent. The
Sisters Macarte directly from the
London HippodrOme, are extra
ordinary opponents of equipOse
on the wire and are spoken of
very highly. The Demonella
Trio is clever combination of
skill and comedy, whilst Ouda
is said to be monarch of the air
on the trapeze, rings and ladders.
Then there has also been secured
an automobile act of exceptional
cleverneSs. This was formerly
with Barnum and Bailey as a
top nOtcher.
j. Roger McSherry, the eff
cient Recording Secretary, will
be occupied from now on in at
tending several fairs through
Pennsylvania and other nearby
States looking after the attrac-
tons, booking racing entries and
! generally looking up our splendid
Fair
The dates are October 16, II,
Is. and 10. Every one should
take in the Great Frederick Fair.
