STATE FAIR.

From the Newark Post.
The Delaware State Fair is an es-
tablished institution. Thanks TO the
efforts of the officers In charge. with
the assistance Of the Chamber OF
Commerce. the affair was given pub
licity and thereby attracted the mer-
tied attention of the State.
Complete as the success was this
year. we can look forward to even
greater triumphs another year.
Newark as usual played a promi-
nent part in the exhibits and there are
blue ribbons galore In our adjoining
rural districts.
The interested attendance from this
section was especially pleasing. IL
is generally admitted that even a
more practical interest in the way OF
exhibits will be taken by our folk in
the future
In offering our congratulations to
the officers In charge, we feel that
special mention must be made of our
fellow townsman. Mayor Hossinger.
Mr.. Hossinger was interested in the
Horse Exhibit and was in daily at
tendance supervising that part of the
show. This feature excelled any
thing Of its kind ever held I'm Della

claim that in many respects the
