Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, August 26-Rain
again today interfered with the program
at the Rockville fair. and not only caused
a postponement of the races and other
events, but had a disastrous effect on the
attendance. Wednesday is ordinarily one
of the big days of the fair, and heavy
attendance is considered necessary for
the financial success of the exhibition.
About the only thing on the program
that took place today was the judging OF
exhibits. This consumed the entire day
and was followed with interest by the
numerous competitors and others.
