Rockville, Md, Aug. 2s.-Wow! Was
anyone at Rockyille's Fair-its ban
ner day? They we're there in bunch
es. groups, gangs, delegations. self
elected and self-assertive. Each and
every one of the more than 15,O00 peo-
pie present acted as Il it was a
private preserve Of their own. De-
corum stalked abroad amongst them
not a soul knocked the chip off his
shoulder.
In commenting on things in gen.
eral with those in charge of the Red
Cross outfit they casually stated that
this fair was a poor place for doc
tor-nO casualties.
1t was a pleasure to meet Lieut..
J. W. Wilford-gentleman. He is in
charge of the Walter Reed exhibit
ton. showing, by photography, the
various courses OF instruction given
wounded soldiers. All day long a
large crowd surrounded him-looking
and asking. He was Courtesy per
sOuificd.
Chief Marshal c. G. Gilpin and his
assistant marshals-L w. Barnsley,
J. w. Barnsley, Frank Cashcn. Sam
Cashell. Walter Cashell, James Cash
ell. Arthur Brown, Billie Gilpin, Fred
Gilpin, T. A. Barnsley, T. T. Barns-
ley and Martin Hines-did much by
their kindness and courtesy to make
everything roll along, roll along-just
like that!
As to the first race OF the day. the
observer has the quaint thought that
r. Hinchel has strayed away from
the Grand Circuit. In the parlance
of the pave. his endeavors in this
event were like taking candy from
a child. 2.l2 is nearer Bertha's class.
In the second event Michigan
Boy. driven by Shirley. simply had
to breeze home, and it was only a
Whit for Annapolitan to get the
place.
The third event was practically
two-stabie eVent-Miller-Had
From a spectacular point it was
very interesting. the four COntcs-
, tants finishing wheels apart. Mary
Ellen was never eXtended-and we
doubt if there is anything in this
neck o the woods that can make
her.
Little England repeated his ad-
ventur" of yesterday by winning
the mile event in tn" scandalous
! time OF l:52h2. One remembers
when he could have run an eighth
