Everything Free.

fair that everything In connection
with it was free. No gate receipts nor
entry fees were charged, and the
premiums amounting to more than
$500 were contributed by the people
Of Bolton and vicinity. The only source
OF revenue was the advertisements
carried in the premium booklet, which
amounted to enough to pay Tor the
printing Of the premium list. No sal
aries were paid to any Of the superin-
tcndents, or officers. who gave so lib
orally Of their time to making the fair
"a success.
Free Fireworks.
/ Among the free attractions not mem
toned in the premium list nor in the
program OF the fair, was a fireworks
display at the fair grounds at 1880 last
night, furnished by the Piedmont &
Northern railway people,. This was
quite liberal display, and was witt
nes3ed by thousands who stayed over
to SEQ it. This display. was In charge
of Trainmaster Crosby OF tho p. & N.
Lines.
