Cape May County Fair

The annual County Fair was opened
this morning at Court House and will
continue through Saturday. 1t will be
the first fair held in the new grounds,
which are more advantageously located
on the state boulevard. 1t is antici-
pated that the exhibits will be larger
in number than ever before. The sea-
son has been excellent for crops in the
county aud it is believed there will be
some of the most remarkable exhibits
ever shown at Court House. More
than $4,000 will be distributed in purses
and prizes. The Wildwood baseball
team played the Court House team
this morning at the fair. The railroads
provide the best service that has ever
been rendered for the County Fair.

Final August Excursions

Both railroads have continued bring
ing in special excursions throughout
the month. Great throngs have been
brought to the beach through this OPP
portunity at reduced rates. There were
ten sections brought in Sunday. On
Tuesday the Pennsy brought 1854 pas
sengers from the Bridgeton branch.
This broke all records from that dis
trict. On Wednesday the same road
brought a special excursion, taking in
all stations from Gloucester to Millville.
Today the Reading conducts a special
excursion from about $50 stations on
various divisions covering the Eastern
section of Pennsylvania. On Sunday
next the same road will bring a special
from the Allentown and Bethlehem

depended upon to extend the prestige
of the popular resorts on Five Mile

reached by these two great railroad
systems.
