. afternoon. The rule with reference to r
moving exhibits was rigidly adhered t,
and those entering the grounds on Frids
afternoon were able to get glimpse {
everything.
! The attendance was not up to that
last year. All signs Wednesday mornin
pointed to rainy day, and many wer
deferred from coming, but In the afternoo
the grand stand was comfortably filled
While the Fair was an Improvement owe
that CT last year there is still chance fo
betterment. The management did moi
In the opinion of many, act wisely whe
they cut out the cattle exhibit. Their
were many inquiries for that department
this year. The poultry show was fine
This addition and the great attention pai'
to It was just tribute to what is becom
ing leading industry of the day.
The vaudeville performances were goo,
and thoroughly enjoyed. There were Blu
few gambling devices, and those few
could just as well have been eliminated
The midway exhibitions were not object
ionable with one exception, and in tina
case the performers were compelled II
leave the grounds.
Among the spectators none were more
pleased than the patients from the Bur
lington county insane hospital, who were
brought down In automobiles. Those who
generously furnished transportation were

In the exhibition buildings there was
plenty to see, admire and criticise. The
displays of art needlework, paintings,
drawings. work by old ladies and children
and antique relics were of great variety,
while the exhibits of pies, bread, cakes
and sweetmeats were enough to cause a
hungry person to commit misdemeanor
Merchants and manufacturers occupied
the second exhibition building, in which
carriages were shown by Judson Gaskill,
John W. Archer and Harry Norcross, of
Mount Holly. John w. Worlin, the High
street harness maker, presented large
line of his wares, and Walter G. COUNSEL,
of Mill street, exhibited sewing machines
and accessories. In one portion of this
building there was fine display Of auto
mobiles, one of the leading lines being
that shown by the Mount Holly Garage
There were also entries in.this department
by George f. Ried of Lumberton, G. A.
Lippincott & Bro, Of Moorestown, and
several Philadelphia dealers.
Then followed the large building en-
tirely occupied by the poultry department
and better display has seldom been seen.
Every visitor 70 the fair this year went
away singing the praises of the poultry
show. Former sheriff Fenton has been
working night and day for the success of
this department, and his efforts were well
rewarded.
The poultry department was really an
industrial school for those engaged In
raising chickens. Prof. Harry r. Lewis,
head Of the New Jersey State Expert
mental Station, at New Brunswick, was
present with literature and maps on the
subject, and gave out information Of great
value in response to many questions. The
state is using an appropriation of $1s, 900
for the development of the poultry indus
try. and correspondence school has been
opened to disseminate information and to
get In touch with the breeders throughout
New Jersey.
That the judging of the 1900 entries In
the poultry department has been particu-
larly satisfactory, may be a conclusion
drawn from the fact that there has not
been single protest. This work was
placed in the hands of competent men,
most of whom have officiated at big
shows at Madison Square Garden, Phila-
delphia. Baltimore and Boston.
