Fair This Year, Which Starts
Next Tuesday, Will Be the
Most Pretentious in History
Of the County.
RACING EVENTS WILL
BE ESPECIALLY GOOD
Other Attractions, Including
Exhibits and Amusements,
Will Be Better Than the U.s.
uaI Offered.

Hagerstown, Ind. July 24.-The
race track at the Hagerstown fair
grounds is now in excellent condition,
and when the fair opens Tuesday.
July q. it will be found in the fast
est condition. Hundreds of dollars
have been paid out for the improve
ment of this track and also a great
amount of work. in the last twenty
one years. A drainage, which circles
the inside of the track a part of the
way, where it was always the longest
in drying after a rain. with numerous
subtilings under the track. causes 1t
to dry quickly now. There is no doubt
that racing can be held now in almost
any kind of weather. The track has
been graded until the surface is
smooth and firm. with just the prop
er angle at the ctA'ves.
Many Horses Arrive.
A number of horses arrived Thurs
day from Ohio. while others are ex-
pected each day from other nearby
states Representative of the Ha-
gerstown fair association were in at
tendance at the races at Montpelier
this week. They report that there was
a finer and better line Of speed horses
there than had ever been on the cir
cult before. And what is encouraging
is that the same horses will appear
here in the racing events.
The Wayne County Fair celebrates
it's twentieth anniversary on the same
grounds where the first and every
succeeding fair has been held The
grounds are large and shady with an
abundance of pure spring water.
They are located adjoining the corpor-
alton line of the town. just a nice
walk from the center of the town.
Special accommodations will be
shown by the p. c.. C. & st. L. rail-
road and also the Big Four, for the
benefit Of those who want to attend
the fair.
Are Many Entries.
| The entries made in the various
classes. poultry, cattle, horses, hogs.
farm products, ladies fancy work, ETC.,
are up to the usual standard. and 1t
is expected that the exhibits will be
very attractive.
Officers of the association are now
busy stalking off space for the stands
and shows. without which no county
fair would be a complete success.
Special features this year will be
the high class vaudeville in front OF
the amphetheater each day. Music
will be furnished bv the Cambridge
City band. Also a new feature will
be the exhibit from Purdue University
It will be in the nature Of a dairy and
an agricultural exhibit. and will be
worth anyone's attention. The fail
board of Hagerstown is to be congrat
ulated on being favored this year by
Purdue, as there are only six other
fairs which will have the exhibit
1t is said that the Young Mems
Business club of Richmond will attend
in body in o-der to boost the fall
festival. Hagerstown will extend a
hearty welcome and will assist the
club in its project.
