was pronounced yesterday the best
prepared and the best managed of
any like affair held under tEk aus
plces of the Association. The one
thing necessary is the smile Of the

County Fair Association is the

ago the farmers of New Castle
county at fall meeting decided
to display their products at their

needed. Two years later the lead

had incorporated the present New

landscape architect OF Plriladel-
phia, who is spending the summer
at her home here, has been en-
gagged by Delaware College to lay
out plan for the Improvement OF
the College grounds, through Ns
proper planting of shrubbery,
plants and trees at such points as
