Chester Reporter: Tuesday It
seemed that the Chester county fair
would be completely rained out but
Tuesday evening the weather man re-
Tented, and yesterday morning the
clouds shifted around, and presently
there was bright, beautiful day. The
crowds took advantage of the circum-
stance, and yesterdays admissions at
the ground compared very favorably
with the same day last year. Today's
crowd is expected to be the largest in
the history Of the fair. The bad
weather preceding the fair has natu-
rally operated against successful ex-
hibition in a great many ways, but
Notwithstanding this fact the exhibits
in some departments are exceptionally
large and complete. Profs. Haddon and
Weeks, OF Clemson college, who were
here to Judge the field crops and live
stock pronounced the fair as one of
the best they have ever seen, and vis-
itors from other counties are lavish in
their praises Of what Chester can do
when 1t comes to making a creditable
showing Of crops and live stock.
