ceived for several departments of the
State Fair, which begins Monday at
Eismere. that the directors OF the
state Fair Association hurriedly
have had to arrange for additional
buildings to house the entries.
In a year that has been far from
the best on Delaware farms, the rec
ord rush Of entries is surprising to
the fair managers and gives them
every reason to expect next weeks
exhibition to be the largest the asso-
citation ever has conducted.
Stables for track horses at he Els
mere grounds accommod' tie 140
horses, but so numerous are the en-
tries for the trotting and pacing
races that stables are now being
erected for 40 additional horses.
These stables were planned for last
night, when entries for the races
continued to pour in and exceed by
FAR those for any previous fair. The
stables for race horses are In addi-
ton to stables provided for 1855
horses to be exhibited at the Horse
Show.
In the past accommodations have
been provided for SS sheep and
swine, but pens for 40 additional are
being built to house and display ad-
ditional entries in that department.
Housing for 100 head OF show cat
tie also has been provided in the
past, but TO accommodate the in
creased entries an addition for so
more cattle is being built.
Four oranges have arranged for
elaborate displays at the fair, too,
which Is evidence OF the enlarged in
terest in the exhibition.
Some of the fastest PAGERS and
trotters in the East are entered for
the harness races. The list is not
only bigger than Of any previous year

wen. The entries began to pour in
on Secretary Joseph II. Gould this
