Amusements and Attractions Lack
ing and Attendance Small
The Closing Day.

Favored as it was ty the best o
& fall weather the attendance at thu
n Delaware County Fairlast. week was
somewhat disapf ointiag. Friley':
small crowd wis no doll t due in a
certain measure to The f.ct thst
Gollmar Bros. c;rcu; sh W in Man
chester on Saturday. 1le att nd nee
on Thurs lay was over taraa shcus,an
and the total amoun- OF III gal r.
ceits fer the three days was over
$500 which is about SEQ lie $ than
last year. The management was
further, handicapped by the del3y in
setting its premium lists and anyer.
Using matter into the hands OF The
people. With the st II tomIet u u
put up by the, fairs Il the I'd olnins
counties it's essential to the sue
cess of our fairs t at not oaly mus
n drawing attractions be provided .bu'
the fair in all its particulars must ae
advertised early and o,ten.
The displays Of st ok, sheep ana
swine were among the hest ever seen
on the grounds. The showing OF
horses was we'll above the average.
Most of the classes [or exhibition y.
Floral hall were W IL filled, exert
grains which were notieally absent
THE exhibitions of Merchandise
shown by Manches er mers hsnts
- Y q s,
were the most attrac i've feature IN
the hall. The fancy wrrk defari
ments were we'll fsM d, but !.
thought that another year this de-
partment wheel has for several yeafs
been placed on the second tloor "
the building will be shown ON 1lic
ground floor. A majority OF peoilc
do not wish to climb the stairs anu
as there is ample room for these eX-
shiblts below it is thought adV,saGlc
to make The change.
There was fine showing OF farm
and buagies ami the DEAF
ers say that the number OF orders
taken on the grounds for goods TO De
delivered later excesded those OF any
other year. IN
