The social features of our fair promise
TO be emphasized more this year than
ever. Already Sc OF the 20 tents are en-
gagged and this assures US that there viii
be IN abundance of that genuine hospi-
tality at the fair which so singulariy char
acterizes this neighborhood. Should there
be others desiring tents reservations they
should be made early.
The standards for the Tournament are
being put in place today and they are at
the disposal OF any of the young men OF
the vicinity who desire to practice upon
them. II will be well for the riders TO
furnish their own rings for the practice.
Already number OF young knights have
expressed their intention of entering the
lists, and il is 10 be hoped that the revival
of this medieval sport will carry with it
some of the other features OF the olden
time. An excellent set of harness valued
at 5000 is hung up for the first prize in
the amateur class and the same kind Of
prize for the professionals. The second
prize in each class is handsome riding
saddle. A fee OF Sl.00is to be charged
each knight. Who is to crown the queen
and the maids OF love and beauty
Another revival-On next Tuesday the
directors willassemble at the Grove armed
with tools of all sorts, and laden with an
abundance OF all things necessary for the
makingof old time southern chicken soup
10 be served under the direction OF two
of the best soup makers 10 the entire
community. With the tools the directors
expect to make the Grove in tiptop shape
for the 3lst annual fair and with the soup,
we'll Don't you worry" Everyone is in
vited TO come out and join in the fesfvi-
ties and bring along the same things The
directors bring, especially a lineup and
spoon.
Inquiries by privilege men, concession
men, horse-show men, and all the dif-
ferent kind OF men and women neceS-
sary TO great fair indicate that there will
be a large number OF opportunities TO
spend your money. Dr.. Rosenberg, the
Century Oil man, with his trio OF high
class jubilee singers has promised to come
to us after an absence OF two years. It
is worth the price OF admission to hear
his performances several times each day
at the Burnt House.
A contest in sewing has been arranged
for fhe girls and at least two contests will
be held for the boys-one in corn iudg-
ing and one in stock judging. These
contests for the boys will be in direct
charge of a graduate OF the Vermont Ag-
ricultural College. Get ready boys for
the trials.
One thing nore-To make the fair a
success, as we all want il to be, il is alb
solutely necessary that everyone in JET
ferson County, in particular, from the
most southern edge to the Potomac, and
from the Potomac on the east 10 the Norm
Mountains in Berkeley, come TO the fair
with something for exhibition. Then
come every day and bring your friends
with you and have genuine good time in
the shade of the magnificent old trees in
the Grove. Washington county is to be
here as never before, as she has entered
her noblest sons in the Tourney on Fri
day and expects to have the honor OF
crowning the queen and maids as her
special part. We also look for gener-
Gus patronage from Berkeley, Loudoun,
Frederick, Clarke counties, Va, and
Frederick county, Md, as the name
Morgan's Grove has been seen this year
as never before. All are welcome and
then some.
