and many more came for the re-
naming two days of the show Be
sides these Berkeley and the adjoining
counties were well represented
The exhibit of apples was very fine
for this early in the season and praise
and admiration are heard ON every
hand. Second only to the apple show
in interest was the apple products ex-
h.bit in the cid board of trade loom
adjoining
The apples were judged between IL
and o'clock, during which time the

Fridays Program.
There was no athletic contests
in the Square Friday afternoon, as
| first intended, owing to the fact that
many of those who would have parti-
cipated in such public contests are
now busy picking apples. Last year
these contests were an important fea-
| ture Of the carnival, but they had to
be cut out this year for the reason
| mentioned. Instead of this, however.
the visitors to the show were taken
an automobile trip around through the
county to see the famous apple or
chards. starting from the Berkeley
