The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1914-09-22
Burlington County's Attraction.

While 1t is under the name of tn
Burlington County Fair Association anC
the people of this county naturally fee
an interest in the annual exhibition
given by the Association, yet that in
terest is not confined to this locality
entirely as visitors come from all sec
lions of the country to enjoy the enter
tainment provided for them. The
management appreciate this and do all
in their power to please those who
patronize the Fair. The event of 1914
will be all that can be asked and the pro-
gram for the four days will be varied and
of the highest quality.
| The first thing to take into consider
alton is the date. This year the Fair
will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, October 6, 7, s,
and 8, and there will be crowded into that
short space more amusement and en-
tertainment for the patrons than can be
spread out just now. There are a few
items that may be mentioned. Among
them, of course, is the race track attract
ions, for no Fair is complete without
good racing, and the Mount Holly Fair
has always enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing able to get the pick of the best
stables. This year will not be an eXcep-
ton. Many fast horses are already list
ed and many more will be on the books
before the grounds are opened for bust
ness.
OF course there will be other things
besides horse racing. 1t is necessary
to provide for the tastes of all. Poultry
raisers will be on hand to see some
of the finest breeds that can be seen any
where. This part OF the Fair has grown
to such dimensions that it is hard work
tn 10 lot for ha
dreds of fowls that are brought here for
display
President Wills has been working
since the gates closed last fall to make
this years Fair better than ever. He
scanned the list OF attractions
offered to him and he thinks he has clos
ed with the best of their kind. There !
will not be any of those dangerous ex-
hibitions which simply cause shudder
when they are performed. The only
thing that will approach this character
are the balloon and the airship, but
both of these have been tried and never
has there been the slightest approach to
an accident. To attempt to have Bur
lington County Fair without King Kelly
and his balloon and parachute drops
would certainly be a wonderful thing,
No matter how often the people have
seen this ascent and descent of the air
man they are always ready to view it
again.
Miss Ruth Law, the woman aviator,
who gave wonderful exhibitions last
year in her flying machine, has been
engaged to again exhibit at the coming
Fair and it is safe to say she has not be-
come more inexperienced or less interest
I'd than she was year ago. The people
heartily enjoyed the exhibitions that she
gave. They will welcome her again.
There will be performing Zoo, Blake's
circus, Russian dancers, Globe circus,
Ill excellent in their line and many of
hem entirely new. The management
s looking for other attractions and there
will not be any dearth of amusements.
The premiums offered for the products
# the farm, the work of the housewives,
he collections of the relic hunter, in
act for all other classes are generous
md will repay all who compete for them.
Remember the dates: Tuesday, We'd
lesday, Thursday and, Friday, October
{, Z, 8, 8.
