Biz Fourth In Salisbury

The Wicomico Fair Association has
made arrangements this year for first
class entertainment for all visitors To
their grounds on the Fourth of July.
Believing that the people of this sec.
ton wanted a place where they could
meet and have good time on this. our
great National Holiday. the Wicomicc
Fair Association decided last year to
arrange an attractive program for this
day. That they were right in their be-
lief. was proven by the thousands that
attended the races and other attractions
in Salisbury on the Fourth last year.
Encouraged by the success, they have
gone to more trouble and expense this
year. in order to put before the public,
amusements that ought to please the
vast crowd expected on the Salisbury
Fair Grounds on the Fourth.
In addition to four races which will
be given in the afternoon, arrangements
have been made for at least one game
of Base Ball. in order that lovers of
our Great National Game may see and
enjoy one on our Great Holiday. The
teams that will play are Powellvile and
Hebron. Each team claims to be the
champion team of the county. and on
this day they will decide for themselves.
as well as the public. which is the bet
ter team. These teams are reported to
be in fine shape, and doubtless will give
an exhibit that will he pleasing and
gratifying to all lovers of this great
sport.
The races this year bid fair to excel
the general interest of those given
last year. and it is confidently predicted
by the management, that sport well
worth seeing will result from the holly
contested races. The races are as fol-
lows: 230 Glass Trot, 30 Glass Pace.
The Farmers Race and the Special
Race. The Farmers Race on Septem-
Der 18th of last year was one of the
greatest attractions that the people of
Wicomico County ever witnessed, and
the one for next Tuesday bids fair to be
a greater event than last year. as there
are more entries, and horses that are
more evenly matched.
The Special Race. is a Match Race
between four horses. owned by the fol-
lowing parties: S. II. Richardson, Carl
Goslee, Willis G. Wimbrow and Charlie
Duffy. Each of the above named par
ties claim to have the better horse. and
have arranged TO decide the matter next
Tuesday. which is expected to be great
race between four horses.
During the evening, one of the larg-
est displays of Fireworks ever seen in
this section will be given. Last year,
owing to the rain, this feature of the
days amusement had TO be dropped.
Fireworks and the Fourth Of July have
always been associated together in the
minds of Americans, especially in that
of young Americans. and the display to
be given on the Fair Grounds on the
Fourth will be one that all will enjoy
seeing, and one that those who can pos
sibly make il point to be present, can
not well afford to miss.
Other amusements and attractions
will be found upon the Grounds.
This Association. in making its an
nouncement of the Fourth Of July pro-
gram, states that their only object in
getting up program for the Fourth, is
to give the people much needed place
TO go and enjoy themselves, and that
they will be perfectly satisfied if ex-
J penses are made on that occasion.
