FAIR AT END
Directors Decide to Enlarge
the Grounds for Next
Years Exhibition

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept. IL
Finding that the Chester County Agri-
cultural Fair this week has made a
net profit Of nearly $500 for the as
sociation, the Board Of Directors de-
cided to enlarge tho fair grounds and
make other improvements for the ex-
hibition next year.
So elated were they with the sub
stantial success Of the meeting. which
closed last night, that the directors
seriously considered a proposition to
hold two fairs each year hereafter,
one in the Spring, as well as the Fail
exhibition.
a tract Of land east Of the present
grounds will be acquired at once TO
provide more space for the erection of
stalls for cattle and horses next year
The eastern boundary fence will be
moved back about 300 feet.
The remarkable feature Of the eX-
hibition has been that not single
accident marred it on any day. Thou
sands of teams and automobiles
crowded the roads to the ground, there
being a constant crush between this
place and the grounds, but with all
this there we're no accidents even on
the road.

SUGGESTS MORE LIGHTS
FOR MARKET STREET

Market street wants more lights"
declared ID. w. Lynch, prominent
business man and member Of the
Board of Trade. to-day IF we had
more electric lights along Market
street, the thoroughfore would take on
an atmosphere of enterprise that
would astonish many of the business
men. Less lights for some Of the
outer sections of the city. but more
for Market street-that should be the
policy. Wilmington's business street
has undergone a wonderful evolution
during the last few years, and there
are hundreds OF dollars worth OF Inn
provements being made there. There
should be a corresponding betterment
of public facilities. The illumination
Of Market street is now done mostly
by the stores"
