Closing Day-Weather Too Cold for
Big Crowd-Many Awards Made

Especial to TIE Bulletin.)

L
Woodstock, Sept. ia sharp. cold
wind that blew out of the north took
much of the comfort out of the day
for those who came to the Woodstock
fair Wednesday, which was the third
and final day. Like all last days at
fairs, there was much coming and go
ing-principally going soon after three
o'clock, when all of the events of the
day excepting the horse races had
been completed. The fakirs. hucksters
and limerick men found things grow
ing too quiet for them earlier in the
day. and even such great attraction
as the three-legged lady, who proved
of much interest all through the fair,
took off the extra limb, packed it in a
trunk, folded her tent and it's gaudy
banners, and, like the Arabs silently
stole away
Satisfactory Receipts.
The fair has been unexpectedly sue
cessful. Tuesday. when it rained in
the morning the receipts of the society
were within $65 of those on the big day
of 1910 when all records for more than
half century were broken.
The opinion was expressed Wednes-
day, however by leading officials of
the fair that it might be good policy to
have only one big" day in future
years, as all effort to get a big crowd
on the second and last exhibition day
matter for future decision.
