SOUTHSIDE FAIR
PREPARING FOR
THIRD EXHIBIT

Petersburg. Va, Aug. 15.-The
Southside Fair association. to when
an aDpropriat ton of $500 was re-
Gently made by the city TO assist N
the conduct OF its 1914 fair, is max
ing extensive preparations for the
third annual exhibit.
Secretary Rutfin has received num-
erous requests for catalogues ana
premium lists TO which prompt re-
pi!es are being made.
The management states that the falr
this year will compare favorably with
that Of 1913, which We pronounced
by many to be the best ever seen IN
Southside virginia
A feature of the Southside fair is
the fact that no liquors are sold on
the grounds. The Fair association
refused a license to applicants at the
first fair and since then they have
declared their intention Of conducting
II without the sale of intoxicauts on
the grounds.
The fac, that licenses are not
granted il not because the directors
are antagonlstic toward the whiskey
interest, but because OF the fact tnat
there are many who object to 1t ana
the directors. several OF whom are
prominent and respected whiskey
dealers, do not wish to place any
obstacle in the way Of the pleasure
OF any who may wish TO attend the
Southside fair
The fact that during the 1913 fair,
when more than 100000 people visit
ed the grounds and not single arrest
was made for drunkenness or dis
order and no losses were reported 10
the police through the work OF sharp
ers or pickpockets is an example OF
the excellent management OF the 1air ;
and is a. big inducement TO those who
wish TO see good races and other
amusements TO attend.
