COUNTY FAIR.

COUNTY FAIR.
If the managers of the county fair had
had special contract with the clerk of
the weather, matters could not have
turned out more auspiciously for the an
nual exhibition.of' the Wayne County
Agricultural Society. The copious rain
of Monday and Monday night, although
giving a discouraging outlook at the
time, proved to be a great benefit, as
the dust was effectually laid by the
downpour, the roads and track beaten
into excellent condition, and the people
of the county put in the best of humor
for an outing. This was not so conspic-
uously manifested by the attendance on
Tuesday but on Wednesday the "rec-
ord-breaker" got in its innings, the
grounds being invaded by the biggest
crowd of people ever seen on the banks
of the Dyberry. Yesterday was an
other big day, so we may we'll infer that
the 1908 fair has been pronounced sue
cess financially, whatever rank it may
take as an exhibition. Indeed it may
honestly be said that in some past years,
at least, the show of live stock and farm
products has been more extensive than
at this fair but when weather condi-
tions and other drawbacks are taken in
to account there is small reason for
fault finding.
AS we expect to give detailed report
of the exhibition, with list of the pre-
miums awarded, later on, we refrain
| from further comment in this issue. The
results of Tuesdays and Wednesdays
trials OF speed were as follows:
The fair on Tuesday was not largely
attended. The chief attraction was the
excellent acrobatic work of the Berry
family, father, mother, two sons and
daughter, and the races. Joseph Nc
Mahon, of Susquehanna, was starter.
