THE KENT AND SUSSEX
FAIR WAS A SUCCESS
NOTWITHSTANDING HOT WEATHER THE
CROWDS WERE LARGER THAN EX-
PECTED BY The ORGANIZATION.
RACING WASAB BIG FEATURE
WITH HORSE, AUTOMOBILE AND MOTOR
CYCLE RACES The PEOPLE WERE
ROYALTY ENTERTAINED.

While the extremely hot weather kept
hundreds away, the fair was a sue
cess beyond expectations, considering
the fact that the fair was only organ
lied last year.
Friday was Governors Day at the
Fair. In addition to Governor Denney
there were many other state and
county officials at the grounds. Threat
ening weather kept the attendance
down to about $500. While Governor
Denney made no formal speech, he
highly commended the officers of the
Fair Association for the splendid ex-
hibition they provided for the people
of Kent and Sussex County.
Governor Denney was especially
interested in the agricultural exhibits
and spent some time inspecting the
live stock. The work of the boys and
girls clubs on exhibition also attract
ed his attention. The state building
where a room is provided for the Gov
ernor was also inspected and from
there he witnessed the harness rae
ing.
The Poultry show was one of the
best ever held in the State, South of
Wilmington and was one OF the prin-
cipal features of the Fair. The large
number CT entries over 500 birds, dem
onstrated that the theory is ell wrong
pertaining to midsummer shows be-
ing impractical, on account of heat,
mOulting, etc. The classes were all
well filed and consisted of most all
standard breeds, single comb White
LeghOrnS predOminating. The Leg
horn, Barred Rock and Partridge Rock |
classes were closely contested. The |
officials of the Fair are 70 be cOngrat-
ulated on putting on q show of such |
size and quality, the building being |
full of interested spectators at all |
times.
W. D. Scott, superintendent, was
greeted on all sides with words of
praise from the many exhibitors and
visitors who said it was a show of
quality, and reflected much credit on
him for his hard work in bringing the
show to its present high standard and
one of the main attractions of the
Fair.
William E. Langshaw, of Whining
ION, placed the awards, which were
by the many exhibitors as
