MAY CHANGE The
COUNTY FAIR DATES

The announcement that the Phila-
delphia County Fair Association had
joined the Delmarvia Circuit, with
dates to open the circuit at the
Byberry half-mile track September Z
II. came as a surprise to stockholders
and managers of the fair, as no au-
thcrity had been given by the Board
OF Directors. This will be threshed
cut at special meeting of the Off
cials on March TO- when the ques-
tion of changing the date Of holding
the annual fair at Byberry so as not
to conflict with Wilmington, a mem
Der Of the Big Fair Circuit, Will be
definitely decided.
Many members of the Philadelphia
County Fair Association have been
working assidiously for change Of
dates, so as to avoid conflicting
with Wilmington, believing that it
would be better financially for both
associations. Wilmington would like
ly have a hard time obtaining a large
entry list were il compelled TO buck
against Byberry as member of the
Dolmarvia Circuit, than should,t go it
alone as many horsemen who intend
racing at Hanover, Carlisle. Lancas-
ter, York. Hagerstown and Frederick
would probably enter at Byberry An-
gust 81 TO September 4. and Will
mington. September I'll. Mutual
agreement between both association
managers would make IL better than
by having conflicting dates, as many
campaigners from both sections
have signified their intention to en-
ter at both tracks owing TO the short
shift from Torrcsdale to Wilmington
by boat.

Mrs. ]. J. Laurence
In Newfoundland

Much to the qualification of her
many friends, Mrs. j. j. Lawrence
has gained sufficient strength to be
moved to a cozy little cottage in New
foundland, N. j., where everything is
bright, comfortable and conducive to
recuperation. Mr.. Lawrence, who is
with her and commutes daily, says
that she is doing extremely well, in
fact, better than the doctors had eX-
pected and takes great joy in her sur
roundings. The little front piazza is
trellised with several varieties of the
pink and crimson rambler, which af-
fords an ideal place for the many
species of birds to frolic. There are
over fifty-two kinds of birds in this
locality and Mrs. Lawrence never
tires Of watching them.
Those of her friends desiring to
make the trip to Newfoundland. must
go via the Susquehanna & Western,
taking the Green Pond road, after
alighting at the station and walking
south, until they reach Red Rocks
Inn, where Mrs. Lawrence's cottage
is situated, sixty feet above the road
with a spring running through the
grounds to the roadway, affording a
watering place for horses. 1t is
about a twelve minute walk from the
station. Although very weak at
present and requiring great deal Of
rest and quiet, Mrs. Lawrence would
be pleased to see anyone for short
time.

The most successful function of
the Cliffside Parks Woman's Club
for the year was the al fresco gather

the old Ferdinand estate at Edge

AS for refreshments; well it is suf-

of the Domestic Science department
of the club who served attractively
and generously the many delectable
goodies.
