upon az the only human encyclopedia
on the. grounds.
The last day OF the fair was marred
by a "shyster" who broke a board in
the fence surrounding the grounds and
was admitting youngsters through the
opening. Mr.. weldin found him and
he was put off the grounds.
Mr.. Brady's Statement.
Mr. Brady. who has been secretary
of the fair association for fve years.
very frankly gave his views of the re-
suits OF this years fair yesterday af-
ternoon In an interview that will be OF
much interest to the stockholders In
many parts Of the state lie said:
with four days Of almost perfect
weather the fair OF 1908 has closed
with by far the largest attendance and
greatest display Of exhibits we have
ever had. The order on the grounds
has been without a jar and we have
not even had an accident. The horse
classes, while not having quite as
many exhibits as last year, were Of
very much finer specimens. The
charging OF entries in the live stock
there being fewer entries in the horse
department but the standard OF all
live stock exhibits has been so much
raised by the entry fees that the man.
aeement Is much pleased with the
change over former years.
THE immense crowd Of Thursday
has demonstrated 70 the management
that greater grandstand capacity will
be needed for another year. Il has also
demonstrated to the Delaware railroad
management that II win be necessary
10 add transportation facilities on at
least the Thursday Of the fair Of 1909.
The idea In that line is not only to
have more cars on regular trains. but
70 have special fare train for the
Delaware railroad TO leave Wilmington
at 7.30 or o'clock In the evening, so
that those Who wish TO wait until the
races are over mayd gati hQu,e WithQnt
waiting for the train which leaves
Wilmington just after midnight
while there has been some COM
plant Of the races regarding the delay
between heats. the management feels
that Il can by a little different ar
rangement overcome this trouble at
another time.
"rhe street car service could be inn
proved upon by the Wilmington City
Railway extending its Eighth street
branch to the grounds. This would
keep from crowding almost all the
traffic on the Sixth and Eighth street
lines Of the Peoples railway. Upon
inquiry we find that almost all busi-
ness in wilmington has felt the good
which comes from any extra Influx Of
people, and II the people Of Whining
ton. and especially the street railway
lines. will help the fair management
hereafter the Wilmington fair should
become worthy rival Of those OF AL
lentown and Trenton"
Prizes Awarded.
Prizes IN the swine exhibit we're an
nounccd yesterday afternoon.
In the sheep department no awards
were made because OF the entries be-
ing made under wrong classes.
owing TO complications in the 1udg-
ing Of the fruits and vegetables, the
awards will not be announced for
sometime, and then the prize winners
will be notified individually. The COM
pllcations result from the handling OF
blue ribbons by visitors. many being
removed from prize exhibits and
placed upon others. This difficulty was
encountered in other departments also,
as many as four blue ribbons having
been taken from the prize loaf OF bread
made by Mrs. Leslie Walker, OF Mar
shallton.
Part Of the live stock was removed
from the grounds last night The
grounds. II is expected, viii be cleared
this afternoon.
