WAYNE COUNTY FAIR
Attended by Large Crowds-EXhibits
Were Fine and Racing Good.


at the Wayne county lair on Tues
day and Wednesday, made a bad job
of it and disappointed thousands of
people who went to the fair to see
the birdmGn leave the ground. Tues
day there was some excuse for the
failure of the aeroplane to go up,
but Wednesday was an ideal day for
the trial. The machine was run out !
into the open field back of the fair
grounds and an attempt was made.
| The biplane did leave the ground |
few feet at intervals and in coming !
down broke both running wheels, |
when the attempt was abandoned. |
1t is said that the attempt Thursday |
afternoon was more successful but in
what way we have failed to learn
before going to press.
The second annual show of the |
Wayne County Poultry association
was held in connection with the
Wayne County fair. The exhibit was
! a fine one, many exceptionally fine
and showy birds being on display.
| There were 800 birds entered, the
principal varieties being the Or
pingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Wyan-
dottes, Plymouth Rocks, White Leg
horns and Barred Rocks. The Bar
red Rock cockerel, owned and bred
by H. G. Rowland, was well marked
and would make a good showing at
any exhibit. The cockerel received
1st premium. The marking was ex-
ceptionally fine. The White Rock
hen, owned by G. w. Swartz, of
greatly admired. The Rhode Island
Reds were of fine variety. Silver
Campines were shown for the first
time in Wayne county by F. w.
Schuerholz. They are everlasting
layers OF large white eggs and are
considered as one of the most noted
utility birds in the world. A pair OF
Japanese Silkies, shown by Cornelia
Thomas, were fancy birds. They
were awarded first and second pre-
MUM. j. L. Purple, of Sellersville,
associate editor of The Poultry
Item, was an all round judge of the
poultry, meeting with the entire sat
isfaction of all concerned. There was
a good display of Pekin ducks and
, the Indian Runner ducks. One lone
pen OF bantams represented that va
riety of foul. Taking the exhibit as
whole the show was one of the best
ever held in Wayne county. 1t has
set new water mark for excellence
in everything that goes to make up a
show far above the ordinary.
The awards will be printed later.
A Ford representative made a
mile on the track in 1.39 Wednesday
