opening of the Princeton street fair
yesterday by a delegation of no less
than 70 men, among whom were many
of the most representative business
men of the city. The party was
carried to that hustling little city in
IA autos and was welcomed with
cordiality that has not been surpass-
ed on any of the trips made this sum-

The Moscow delegation arrived at
Princeton at about II o'clock and
remained there until 3.3O in the af-
that had been collected and entered
in competition for premiums. The
exhibits in all departments were ex-
ceptionally good. The boys and
girls potato club displays were es-
pecially commendable and were pro-
nounced by Fruit Inspector Clifford
~ Il
the very best he has ever seen on ex-
hibition in this section of the state. |
The boys and girls potato club move
ment which was started all over the |
state a few years ago was taken up
by Princeton before it had received
any attention at all in many other sec
lions. About seven entries in this de-
partment were made at the fair. All
Of the potatoes were of the same
variety and each boy and girl had been
allowed one-fourth of an acre of
ground on which to grow the speci-
mems. The competition was keen and
Mr. Edmundson found it hard to make
/ decision.
The garden, field and orchard prod
lets at the fair were also judged by
Mr.. Edmundson and he is confident
hat if the entire collection that was
IN display there yesterday is brought
O the county fair here Princeton will
,e a formidable competitor for high
IOnOrs.
DR.. Carlyle as Judge.
The livestock exhibits judged by
Acting President Carlyle of the uni
ersity were also very good. All
Iasses of stock were displayed and .
lany of the prize winners will be (,
rought here and entered for prem
inns at the county fair.

Trips Are Effective. v
The interest in the auto trips is still =,
great and the effectiveness of the :,
poster visits to the neighboring towns =,
IS been so pronounced that it is very O.
obable that still another thrip thru
e northern section of the coun- :,
will be arranged before the open !,
g of the fair on the 23d. On the :.
casion of every trip thus far the size a.,
the crowd has been limited only by
e number of cars that could be Sc
red, many more being on hand each
