STEADY Down POUR OF RAIN |NTERFERtS
WITH BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY FAIR
Good Time Thursday, Notwithstanding the Weather
.--Fine Agricultural Show---Educated Horse
Attracts the Crowd --Grand- Stand Crowded.

Rain interfered seriously with the
Breckenridge county fair and only
Thursday did many brave the way to at
tend, then without a ray of sunshine
The gate receipts were $780, good, con-
sidering the heavy rain the opening day
and no fair at all Friday. The Hender-
son Route special did its part Friday
morning by going on schedule time and
returning at once with empty coaches.
Thursday. the train carried more pas
sengers than it did the second day last
year which showed an increased interest
in the fair. The crowd was distinctively
a Breckenridge county gathering with
few strangers. There was large rep
resention from Cloverport, many going
on the train and others drove and went
in automobiles. Messrs. Tom Carter,
Floyd Carter, Leonard Gregory and
Vivian Pierce gave a hay-ride The
Hardinsburg fair patrons were there
early to give everybody welcome and
at the noon hour, their generous hospi-
tality was extended when huge baskets
of delicious food were opened and every
thing good to eat was served in abund-
ance to the visitors.
The entire afternoon the grand-stand
was crowded, except when dozens would
leave to see the educated horse. Cen
taur' is a wonder and was of greatest in
terest. He can spell by taking up the
letters of words called by anyone and
can pick any piece of colored cloth
named. The educated horse belongs to
Thos. Smith, of Fordsville, and goes to
all the fairs.
The race track was heavy and there
were few races. The mule that jumped
the fence created the most excitement Of
the day. Just as he won the race, over
the fence he jumped When the road
sters were shown the mud spattered all
over the horses and drivers. The same
sponge was used to mop the faces of the
horses and the men. Horses first! And
the drivers did not seem to mind.
The agricultural display was splendid.
Not quantity of products, but the
quality was never better. The beets
were as large as watermelons and cab
bage as big as pumpkins. Across from
the fine corn and big Irish potatoes,
were exquisite species of poultry in the
approved exhibit coops for fairs. Hang
ing over head we're hands of wonderful
tobacco, which will not be seen many
more years in Breckenridge county,
where the soil is growing something
better for every farmer and his family.
Floral Hall in charge of Miss Bette
Taylor, showed a display of various
articles, useful and beautiful, made by
Breckenridge county women and girls
Through the drilling rain, the chill
dren battered over the soaked path to
the merry -go-round for their annual ride.
Cracker-jack and iced pop were popular
treats. The day passed quickly,
before people got their visit out to the
fair and Hardinsburg. They left, hop
ing they could come back next year.
