Railroad Rates Are
Reduced For Fair
Both Pennsylvania and Reading
Lines Grant Lower Price for
Five Day Tickets.

Only two more weeks TO the coming
Atlantic County Fair at Egg Harbor,
the three days preceding Labor Day,
with both the Pennsylvania and Read
ing Railroads granting reduced rates
for round trip tickets to the Fair seat,
good from Wednesday, August 80, and
to return on. the last train on Labor
Day night, Monday, September A.. This
will give all your out-of-the County
folks an opportunity to come, see, the
magnificent display that will show the
veal and prosperity that has develop
ed since a year ago.
At a recent meeting OF the Fair
Association reports from all commit
tees were most favorable and one or
two departments were asking for extra
tents and housings for their exhibits,
so great is the demand Of the outsider
to come into the County and bring his
commodity before our people.
The Fair Committee has t~wenty-six
silver trophies divided as follows,
three from the Atlantic City Chamber
of Commerce, one very large one of
beautiful design from the Atlantic
City Press-Union, three handsome
ones from the Daily Gazette-Review,
six dainty fellows that will capture
ones heart from the Linwood Poultry
Association, three from U. S. Senator
| Walter E. Edge, two from the Fair
Association, one for the p%rettiest, cut
est and best baby, and one for the
best display of eggs, another for pig
cons, n very large, handsome piece
from the First National Bank of Mays
Landing, several from the Dorothy
Poultry Association, and last but not
least three %splendidly engraved tro-
phies from His Excellency the Cover
nor. The Fair Committee reports that
c. F. Wahl, of Atlantic City, has do
mated $500 in gold, to be given to the
eight Oranges for competition, the
Grange making the best display to get
this cash as a sweepstake in addition
to other Fair prizes.
The Junior folks of the County are
very alert and many surprising exhib-
its in all branches of farm products
will be shown both by the boys and
the girls. The Boy Scouts of Egg
Harbor are talking of taking over a
concession and want the cooperation
of all the Boy Scouts of the County
and the Girl Scout Camps.
In the matter of amusements Gen
eral Manager Vautrinot has several
surprises. one of them, an elephant
walking a tight rope some thirty feet
in the air. OF course, the element of
danger will prevent fair visitors from
standing directly under this tight rope
when Monsieur Elephant is doing his
stunts by standing on his head and
trying to stand on his tail during the
four performances he will give daily.
There are other death-defying, dare
devil, stunts, and of course the usual
knock the baby down, hit the darkey
in the head, ring the cane, and other
side attractions that will help relieve
you of your money and try to educate
you into being more brilliant than the
takers who will extort your money out
of your pocket.
Word came to the Fair Association
recently Of the sudden demise of Mrs.
Joseph Davis, of L~andisville, a woman
respected and beloved by her friends
and neighbors, a sincere worker in the
Red Cross, an ardent lover of the
school children of her section, and one
of the most willing committee women
in the last four annual County Fairs.
Her passing has taken from the Fair
Association a willing helper, from the
children of her section a loving adj
wiser, and from her associates a friend
whose memory will linger while life
lasts.
