was officially opened Tuesday evening
at the large Liberty Warehouse and
during the evening there were 15O4
admissions paid at the door while the
number of complimentary tickets is
sued to booth owners and others will
probably bring the total in attendance
to two thousand or more.
The first days program was a great
success. Of course, the address by
Governor Edwin p. Morrow was the
big feature of the opening day. Fol-
lowing a band concert by the Boys
Band, the Governor was presented by
Secretary George Kirk. Although his
address was short, the Governor. in
his usual style beautifully referred to
the harvest season of the year and the
cause for giving thanks in Kentucky.
He complimented Mason and her
neighbor counties upon the quality or
the soil and reminded them that they
had much reason this year for giving
thanks to the Almighty Father.
The vaudeville acts were watched
with much interest, 1t being their FIRST
appearance All three of the acts
pleased the large crowd but especially
interesting to the youngsters was the
dog and pony act.
The booths are beautifully decorat-
ed by their owners and the committee
of Judges to be chosen to select the
most attractively decorated booth will
certainly have a big job on their
hands. Much time and skill is dis
played in the decorations and the usual
interest Is manifest IN the booths all
around the large warehouse.
The school display in the northeast
corner of the large warehouse is at
tracing much attention and especially
Is the display of the Colored Domestic
Science department being highly COM
plimented. The display of the Manual
Training department of the Maysville
High School has opened the eyes OF
the general public. Persons who have
not been in touch with this depart
ment did not realize that such splen-
didly perfect work jas is on display at
the fair could be produced by the stu
dents and their very efficient director.
The display of corn and garden
truck was never better and the inter-
est that these displays is creating Is
seen in the number of persons who
gather around the exhibits. Because
OF the weather and the heat In the
warehouse the Tobacco entries were
not displayed Tuesday but were put
on the tables today and some OF the
best tobacco, so far as color is con-
cerned. that has ever been seen here
is on display.
The Boys Band never played better
than on Tuesday Evening. Several
new numbers were played and they all
met with hearty applause. Those who
are able to Judge say that great i'm
provement has been made in the band
during the past few weeks. Sales o.
tickets on the several valuable articles
the band will give away on Saturday
evening were large. These articles
will be given away at the fair and the
holder of the lucky ticket must be in
the building on Saturday evening OF
another ticket will be drawn within
reasonable length Of time.
