TENNESSEE VALLEY
FAIR IS SUCCESS
Brilliant Horse Show Winds
UP the Programme
PRIZES ARE AWARDED
Stockholders Are Enthusiastic Over the
Successful Outcome of the Fair
and Are Planning a Still
Better One

closed last night with the most bril-
liant horse and automobile show of the
series. The fair just closed ran ten days
and it was a financial success, the first
given under the management of the as
ISOLATION that has averted heavy loss.
The stockholders of the corporate are
enthusiastic over the prospect for the
future and they expect to have the big
gest fair next year that has ever been
seen here. Tt will be a memorial to
Ed l.. Pulley, secretary and general man
ager, who held the association together
this year and induced all concerned to
take one more chance at making the fair
a financial success. Since Mr. Pulley is
dead the work will have to be taken up
by someone else, and a thorough reor-
ganization of the association is expected.
The horse show last night consisted of
three events, one of which was an auto
mobile competition. They were as fol-
lows:
Light harness team, driven by lady,
won by Miss Anna Watts.
Light harness horse, won by Miss Anna
Watts.
Automobile drivers. Clarendon Davis,
first. The other contestants were Dick
Hertzler, r. T. Baugh, James Murphree,
Joseph J. Bradley and George Wheeler.
The race programme for the last after
noon was rather tame because of the
fact that the feature race of the week,
the 2:12 pace, was called off. Frank
Finney won green trot: Lee Penney
the f1ve-eighths mile running race; Clar-
endon Davis the automobile race and
Will Halsey a motorcycle race.
The best of the exhibits in the fair
here will be taken to Birmingham and
Montgomery
