istration building Wednesday looking
out for the entries and attending to a.
thousand and one details that must be
looked after on the opening day of a
fair. Many hall exhibits We're placed
in position Wednesday and so many
more are expected to come in Thursday
that the hall exhibit is likely to be one
of the best if not the very best in the
history of the fair. Four Oranges are
making exhibits this year and all are
of such excellent quality that the
judges are likely to have a great deal
of difficulty in making the awards. The
Oranges exhibiting are Chelsea, Wind
sor. Cooper's Mills and Whtefield.
Mrs. F. E. Thompson is the chair
man of the committee from Chelsea

an attractive one and when the finish

is displayed is decorated in green and |
white. Mrs. George Reed is in charge
