was real phenomenal success. Ev-
cry thing aided and abetted. The wea-
ther man smiled most graciously
, loaning six most beautiful days to
prepare for, and during the fair and
for the removal. No one could have
; asked for a finer week. Everybody
brought their own crowd to enjoy
the varied entertainment. There was
everything for ones amusement and
comfort. There were no takers, but
everything of the finest and cleanest
amusement. The booths were all that
could be expected. The Health Cen
ter and Child Welfare booth was ex-
tremely attractive and appropriately
| decorated with the Child Welfare
equipment with uniformed nurses in
/ attendance, ever ready to weigh and
| measure the many babies as the in
! terested mothers brought them. The
| Y. NJ. c. A. rest room was a place of
| comfort which was demonstrated
when the sick were brought in. 1t was
in charge of Miss Crawl of Dover as
sisted by the ladies of the town. The
exhibits were numerous and of high
class society. The Domestic Science
Department deserves much credit.
The Black Swamp Canning Club sure
ly had a fine display. The races of
each were interesting and of high
class, about 129 horses were stabbed
on the grounds. There were $4,000 paid
admission on Thursday; other days in
proportion. The aggregate receipts
were about $1,000. The community is
greatly pleased and every incentive to
build for another season.
The Aviation Company of Norfolk.
Va, were at the fair grounds all of
the week. Many of the town people
ventured skyward with the birds and
other winged creatures. Glen and Sar-

startling sensation. They say the
earth looks like a beautiful miniature
landscape.
