GOOD WEATHER BRINGS
CROWD TO The FAIR
Cloudy And Rainy Weather Kept
Many Persons From a Distance
Away-Fairly Good Attendance
Yesterday-Racing Events Have
Been HotIy Contested.

The indications are that the Cam
bridge Fair today will have an un-
usually large crowd in attendance, as
for the first time since the Fair op-
ened, the weather has been of such
a nature as to encourage those living
at distance to start to Cambridge.
Monday the rain simply compelled
people to stay at home, while yester-
day so threatening were the skies
that few persons, living at asdistance,
felt like running the risk Of spend
ing rainy day at tie Fair. and, to- a
certain extent, their anxietjes were
justified, for while it did not rain in
Cambridge, at Salem, Linkwood,
Bucktown, in fact, within a mile of
Cambridge, torrents of rain fell,
At the Fair grounds yesterday
things were in hrst-class shape; all
of the amusements were in full blast
and the Midway is just filled with at
fractions of all kinGs. The track
was in good shape and there were
some splendid events; all Of the ra-
ces, with the exception of the PIG
trot, were of the kind that appeals
to the lovers of racing. TAe auto
mobile and motor cycle races, too,
were hotly contested and kept the
crowd in suspense until the winning
machines passed under the wire.

HARPER FOR P.SC. POST
Former State Senator Named And
Sworn in BY GOvernor-Fare Case
To Begin Today.

Former State Senator J. Frank
Harper, of Centreville, was yester-
day appointed and sworn in by Gov
ernor Harrington as member Of
the Public Service Commission, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Albert G. Towers, who left
on August 1 to become president of
the Title Guarantee and Trust Com
pany. This completes the commits
sion. which will begin the hearing of
the United Railways fare case this
morning with a. full board present.
1t also lifts load Off the mind of
Governor Harrington, who has been
searching assidiousIy for successor
to Mr.. Towers ever since w. Laird
Henry, of Cambridge, his first choice,
declined the honor which the Cover
nor had offered him. 1t was under
stood some days ago that the Cover
nor had Senator Harper in mind for
the vacancy, but when he was asked
about it he denied that he was con-
sidering Senator Harper.
The appointment OF Senator Har-
per, who is one OF the leading Demo-
Gratis on the Eastern Shore, makes
the board entirely Democrati, for the
first time since 1912, when Commits
sioner E. Clay Timanus was appoint
ed by Governor Goldsborough to sue
ceed Benjamin T. Fendall, who later
became, and still is, the secretary OF
the commission, he having been ap-
pointed by Governor Crothers to fill
the vacancy on the commission caus-
ed by the first resignation Of Philip
d. Laird. There have been but two
Republican members of the commits
sion, Mr. Timanus and Mr.. Towers.
Senator Harper will serve until |
next May under his present appoint |
ment, and if he makes good, he may
be continued on the commission by |
the next Governor, should the next |
Governor by Democrat.

Several weeks ago I rendered to the

did this was that I could not further

willing to make as long as the nation

would have missed even further

the mark by nearly aNhundred thou-
