ed and painted, 10 acres of land had
been enclosed with a substantial fence
and a good grandstand erected.
Upon the suggestion of the presl-
dent the secretary read an article
from the Charleston Sunday News
of August 8, in reference to the
Harvest Jubilee and the selection OF
a beauty queen which promises to
be a feature of the State Fair this
fall. 1t was thought by the presl-
dent that a similar contest could be
successfully conducted in connection
with the Williamsburg fair. The
members of the executive commit
tee concurred in the adoption of a
plan to hold a Beauty Queen con-
test and Mr. w F Tolley was appoint
ed a committee of one to conduct
the show. This was about the
