WAYNE COUNTY'S
47th ANNUAL FAIR
OVER 1000 PEOPLE IN ATTEND
ANCE ON WEDNESDAY.

The Wayne County Agricultural
Society held their annual fair on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday of this week. On Monday
there was good attendance, it being
the opening day and exhibitors
was busy getting ready their exhib
its. Tuesday was Children's Day
all school children being admitted
free and the number present was
exceedingly large; the young people
were in evidence everywhere, and
to say that they had the time of
their life" was putting it mildly.
| The exhibits were far ahead of any
previous meeting, both in number
and quality. We expect in our next
issue to give a detailed account of
the exhibits. The cattle portion of
the fair was excellent. The pigeon
and poultry display was the great
est ever held here, but lack of room
and accommodations prevented this
portion of the fair being more at
tractive and better appreciated.
Gas engines and farm machinery of
all description were we'll represented.
The hardware men of Honesdale had
| exhibits that attracted attention.
Spettigue had a guessing contest for
Lehigh range in progress. The
lucky one guessing the number of
shingle nails in a sealed bottle is
to get the range. The midway of
amusements was filled with the usu-
al class of entertainers, and they all
seemed to be making money. The
races which we print below were ex-
citing. we'll contested and kept the
spectators interested up to the last
heat in the last race. Everybody
was good-natured; no disturbance
or disorder and the society is to be
congratulated on the successful
carrying out of their program.
The 2:1S race on Tuesday after
noon was good one but the other
horses in the 2:40 race were out
classed by Billy, owned by H. H.

]. P. Mcmahon, of Susquehanna,
performed the undesirable part of
