Rockville. Nd, Aug SO.-The fifty
seventh annual Rockville fair was ush-
cred in this morning under most favor
able circumstanees-ldeal weather. a good
attendance. and large and interesting ex-
hihits IN all departments II will con-
tinue through Friday. and there seems
TO be every reason to believe that It will
prove one OF the most successful fairs
ever held by the Montgomery County
Agricultural Society
The first day is really preparation day,
and the attendance IS never very large
To-day was no exception TO that rule.
although by the time the first race was
called an average opening-day crowd was
on hand. probably 1900 being on the
grounds.
About the busiest persons in the State
Of Maryland just now are President Lee
Oftutt and Secretary James T. BogIey.
both OF whom are kept constantly on the
50 looking after the innumerable things
that need attention while the big show IS
IN progress. They are being assisted BY
a corps OF clerks. consisting OF Luther
NJ. Muncaster. Hugh Thompson. Arthur
Mcfarland. Julian F. Walters. Roy War
field. and Adrian Brunett
The poultry show has long been one OF
the leading attractions OF the fair, and
this year It seems better than ever. There
are about 1000 splendid specimens OF
nearly every variety OF chickens. ducks.
geese. and turkeys. some Of the principal
exhibitors being Benjamin c. Hughes.
