The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1908-09-09
LOUISVILLE DAY WAS A RECORD BREAKER
5 The Live Stock and Floral Hall Exhibits Were
Exceedingly Fine.
THE MANAGEMENT TO BE CONGRATULATED

The Fair was perfect. The crowd was
the best and largest that has ever gath
cred in Breckenridge county. The
stock could not have been excelled else
where; the treatment by the Hardins-
burg people has never been equaled.
Taking the event all in all, it was bril-
liant, it was a GROWING success, and
the Breckenridge Fair Association
should gladly be proud of the outcome.
The financial side, too, no doubt, will
be far better than it was last year.
In reporting the Fair, the News gives
its columns to the people and their
opinions about it, which is as follows:
Coming home on the train from the
Fair Thursday night were several young
girls from different places in the county
talking about the glorious time they
had during the whole three days
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
1t was most interesting to listen to
their remarks. The first one to speak
I when the crowd had settled down was
prim little Miss Stephensport. She
said: Tuesday was the best day for
me. didn't expect to see so many
folks the first day, but in the afternoon
there was a big mass on the grand
stand, and everybody looked so fresh
and sweet, and you could hear the Har-
dinsburg band so distinctly, too"
Wednesday for me" spoke up Miss
Irvington. THE more folks l see from
Custer and Louisville the happier
am D." She must have been supcemely
happy for the twelve thousand people
were principally Louisvillians. The
persons from other places were sprink-
led over the jam like pepper rover a
cantaloupe. Mr.. Bruce Haldeman said
MI Vic Robertson, the president, and
Mr.. NJ. Beard, the secretary, should be
congratulated upon having so many
visitors to entertain.
"Those horses, " exclaimed Miss Bew-
leyville, of course she was daffy about
the horses for she took blue ribbon in
the ladies' riding ring-"When Beard
Bros. got that loving cup cheered
until l was hoarse." No one could
have blamed her, for their display of
horses was exceedingly fine. 1t de-
lighted hundreds of persons to see Mr..
Herbert Beard walk out of the ring
carving the handsome silver cup.
1.-The only thing l objected to about
the Fair" said pretty Cloverport girl,
'There were too many good looking
men there. l couldn't decide. l went
to the fortune teller, though, and she
told me the first man met who wore
do yon think, he was that grand doctor
Nfrom Livermore. think we girls from
Cloverport had better time on the
midway than any others. We had Our
pictures made, rode on the merry-go-
round and went to every show except
the moving picture show-only counting
couples went there. Somebody said
that Mr.. Preston Green and Mr.. Lewis
Kincheloe kept that place up"
"Oh, that fine stock Mr.. Geo. Lyd-
dan had" exclaimed Miss Glendeane,
''If could raise cattle like his would
willingly live down on the farm for
ever"
you know the person who gave me
the most pleasure at the Fair was Mr..
Jeff Hook. Every time he sent the
water wagon around l gave him a vote
of thanks for trying to keep the dust
down." said a girl who lives on the
river bank near Addison.
''If live to be hundred years old |
shall never, never forget that cordial,
earnest invitation that Mr.. Jess
Howard gave out through the mega
phone as we said goodbye to the old
fair grounds about dusk Thursday. 1t
went right to my heart" spoke an at
tractive girl from Elizabethtown.
Come back, come back in 1902" Mr..
