wealthy gentleman living at Trenton,
while at the exhibition, on Thursday,
made statement that will result in adj
vantage to the Mount Holly Fair if the
matter is carried to completion. He
said: "The Inter State Fair will not be
continued much longer. and it is only a
question of short time when it will cease
altogether When asked for the reason
of this he replied; 1.-THE avenues leading
to the Trenton fair grounds are being lined
with fine residences. Far sighted capital
lists realize that these spacious ground!
are an excellent location for suburban
town. They are now buying up the stock
of the Fair Association, with the idea o.
cutting up the grounds into building lots
and you will soon see them placed on the
marked for residential or building pur
poses Trenton is growing in that direc
ton, and demand for building sites will
eventually end the Interstate Fair
