| tons. Management Is AHAlous
For Exhibits. Premiums Paid
Are Same As Those OF other Fairs
The Dorchester County Fair Will
open next Tuesday and those VINO
have charge of the arrangements are
earnestly hoping to see good wealth
er. a good crowd, good exhibits, good
attractions, in fact, unusual eHoftS
have been made this year to have the
best possible fair.
The Fair Association this year is
expending nearly $4,000 more for
amusements than ever before, con-
tracts having been made for amdse-
ments in front of the grand STAND
daily, and in addition to this feature,
other amusenfents have been engaged
for the Midway. One OF the speclaI
attractions which has been secured
is the American-Italian Fireworks
Company's displays, which as glhnd
! opening salute will send shell into
| the air that makes a noise that can
| be heard for twenty-five miles. Inc
| shell consists of a break in goluen
! colors with a mist of blue stars IN
| the center.
This Just happens to be oneot sew
| eral hundred such effects that Will
| be presented during the Fair. Then
| there is the New York Amusement
Company, which is making its hrst
| appearance on the Shore. inns
| section has always been too small
for this company; it has sent us
features to the larger fairs the great
big ones, but this year, for a money
consideration, they We're induced 10
send their big shows to the cam
bridge Fair.
However, the object of this article
is not to advertise these or the
many other attractive features that
will be presented for the entertain
ment and amusement of those VINO
go to the Fair. But it is special
plea to the people of dorchester
County, to the Farmers, to the manu-
facturers, to the gardeners and TO
the ladies for exhibits. Certainly
every farmer in the county KNOWS
that no other Eastern Shore county
can compete with Dorchester IN the
matter of growing staple crops,
fruits. berries and vegetables, but
the other fairs do have better eX-
hibits of these things than the Cam
bridge fair. Why? Just simply be-
cause so many Dorchester county
farmers do not exhibit, that's all.
The premiums offered by the fairs
are all the same; look over the. cata-
Iogues of all of the Fairs and anyone |
can see this. But the people down |
n Wicomico, Somerset Worcester, |
Queen Anne's and Kent do not eX-
hibit for the money they exhibit |
li1h
county fair is the place to show what |
crops are grown in their counlles'
their pride in their counties, their |
home districts, in their ability 10
prove that they have done their work
we'll, is what causes these 1alrs W
have such splendid exhibits OF farm
products Can we not have the same
at the Cambridge Fair? CO talnly'
if our good friends will just Dflhs
in their exhibits.
Let's have wonderful eXnDltlon
this wear of Dorchester county pro-
ducts. Some people say the Far Is
simply a horse racing pro2osltlon.
oh no, it is not a racing proposltlon
unless, those who are Interested III
other lines lay down on the JOB. MOI
ten per cent of those who attend are
particularly interested in the morse
races. but if the committee in charge
of the exhibits cannot get exhlDlts
for the people to see, where are they
going but to the races?
Then, too, the committee Wouid
like enteries in the amateur garden
class, this class is ope nto people all
over the county; there should De at
least a hundred entries, professionals
are barred but all people who nave
gardens, can enter. Get prize Ior
Yourself. get one for your district.
Let the thousands of visitors see
what crops are grown in Dorchester
county. Bring up the wheat, corn
rotatoes, berries, cantaloupes, water
melons. apples, pears, peaches plums'
cabbage, beans, peas
onions. lettuce, spinach, celery, as
nara gus: bring something OF every
thing grown on the farm or IN tue
garden.
And. don't forget, ladies, your
special departments. Fancy "orh'
Main sewing, flowers cakes. candles'
bread, canned fruit, preserves 1ei-
lies, etc. .. .oir
