Although probably not record
crowd, the attendance at the Water
town fair on Thursday was one of the
largest in the history of the associa-
ton. Poor weather conditions pre-
vailed on Wednesday,, rain in the
morning and lowering skies in the af-
ternoon keeping many visitors away
from the grounds. At that despite
these conditions a good crowd Loyalty
braved the weather conditions and
passed through the gates. ss :
Record Night Fair.
The crowds at the night fair on
Wednesday and Thursday easily broke
all attendance records, the throng on
Thursday night taxing the capacity of
the grounds. The free attractions and
the fireworks display were responsible
for the attendance and the various
booths did a thriving. business both
nights as we'll as the midway shows.
The fireworks displays were especial
ly fine and received much favorable
comment, while the other free at
fractions pleased nightly.

the agricultural displays, arranged TN.
der the auspices of the County Coun-
Gil of Defense and took the first prize
OF $35. The other prizes were awarded
as follows: Jefferson, Sullivan, Lake

The grain exhibits put out by johnson
Creek were of a high order of merit
and tire town was easily ahead in all
displays.
Accidents We're Few.
Accidents during the fair were few
and far between regardless of the con-
gestion on the streets at times. A few
minor auto collisions with no damage
were reported and slight accident in
one OF the races on Thursday was the
sum total reported. The same is true
OF the police record, no arrests being
necessary for disorderly offensea.
