FAIR OVER WITH
FINANCIAL LOSS

The thirteenth annual fair OF the
New Castle County Fair Association
came TO close on Saturday after a
period OF three days of wet weather
and two clear days. The attendance
on Friday and Saturday was 5000. OF
this number 5000 attended on Satur-
day The officials Of the association,
while not disheartened. have begun
plans for next years fair.
Owing 10 the ntormy weather. the
association lost thousands OF dollars.
but the exact amount will not be
known for months. Some idoa OF
what was lost can be had from the
fact that the big Thursday of
previous years has had an attendance
Of 10000. This year only 100 persons
were on the grounds on Thursday.
Whether this city viii ever witness
like fair is not known, as business
men of Newark are willing 10 donate
a large tract Of land II the fair peo-
pie will hold their celebrations there
in the future.

are anxious that the fair be held in
Wilmington They realize that IL Is
the only large city in the state and
that It can provide better accommoda-
tions for the public. both from a
standpoint Of traffic and hotel accom-
modations. The lack Of financial sup
port Is a feature that has caused
doubts to arise In our minds as 10
whether Wilmington Is the best place
TO hold the event II is possible that
a smaller town would contribute more

BROWN FAILS TO
ADD REAL COLOR

Residents of Arden, the little vii
lage founded by followers Of Henry
George held their second annual
pageant on Saturday afternoon. and
while that Of last year was called
MERRY England" this years affair
was entitled "A Record of Village
Life on Communal Land" It will be
repeated this afternoon. The attend
ance was much larger than those
which have gathered to attend Arden
pageants in previous years, about 300
people being present. George Brown,
the Philosophical Anarchist" who
appeared last year as the professional
mendicant. appeared in a white shirt
Saturday, dressed in a white shirt
and collar and wearing coat This
caused the Ardenites to stare with
wonder for two reasons. One was
Brown had announced that he would
appear as the Sheriff of Noting
ham," and would arrest VIII Price,
the Philadelphia archetic, who was
to have appeared as robin Hood. -
The other reason was that Brown had
broken away from his house in the
DucutS anu uOnnNn tiOAA1of NAt - ~
Dol OF civilization. In return Brown
was surprised when instead Of robin
Hood" being produced the pageant
took another turn and Price appeared
as the Lord of the Manor" Whether
the Ardenites were afraid that Brown
would appear is not known, but their
3lans underwent a change since the
first announcement of the affair.
When asked if he was going to par
ticipate in the pageant. Brown said:
This is merely a rehearsal. the one
to be held on Monday is the real one. .

The real shock came, however,
when Wesley Newberne. with flowing
locks and sandal shod. dressed in
white and hatless. noticing the sign

Arden gateway, entered. Residents
OF the colony who were in the midst
of their second pageant of Merry
England" were about to stampede as
Newberne appeared. The pageant
had come to a stop in the village COM

were dancing a Scottish dance the

Reviewing the progress of organized

Federation Of Labor, declared the only
way capital is now trying to war on
labor is by misrepresentation After
citing statistics to show the growth Of
the labor movement, he said:
In an open and fair contest before
the bar Of public opinion, even with
an unfair press. the cause of labor has
steadily advanced. With full knowf-
edge Of this, antagonistic associations
of employers driven with desperation,
having no regard for the inherent
rights Of man or any form of law, are
seeking by various means to destroy
