Frederick Brady, secretary of the asso-

nouncement setting forth the plans of the
management for the success of the event:
''The mansgers of the New Castle
County Agricultural Fair take pleasure
in announcing that the Tenth Annual
Fair will be held on the Delaware Horse
Show Association Grounds September l.
2, and 4, 1908.
Every year this fair is becoming more
OF an agricultural exposition OF this
county's resources and is becoming as all
fairs should be-more educational in
character.
GAS heretofore, the stock and agricul-
tural exhibits will form the backbone of
the fair. In a number of the depart.
ments, premiums have been increased
and classifcations rearranged. The horse
classes which are judged in front of the
grand stand will no doubt be better than
ever before, as a number of high-class
horses have been brought into this vicin-
ity during the past year.
Each year increases the amount and
importance of the poultry business in
this section, and under the capable mana
cement of the poultry department this
years show will doubtless be record
breaker.
':The exhibit of farming machinery
has increased perhaps more than any
other single department and the number
of working exhibits will be greater than
ever before.
"The speed program for this year will
be the most attractive ever issued by
this association and will attract all of the
best horses in this vicinity. The events
for each day have been arranged with
care and under conservative rules of the
National Trotting Association; races Of
the most pleasing character are assured.
1.-THE executive committee feels con-
fdent that this fair will be the best ever
held in this State and invites the hearty
cooperation of all the farmers and espec-
tally the members of Pomona Grange.
Frederick Brady,
Secretary"
