ROCKVILLE, Md, August 25.-
Threatening weather interfered very
seriously with the attendance at the
fair today. but the fair, as a whole
has been a gratifying success. While
the exact figures are not available, it
is believed that both the aggregate
attendance and receipts were con-
siderably in excess of those of any
former fair and that after all expenses
are paid there will be a balance on
the right side Of the ledger.
Races were the rule at the fair yes
terday afternoon. An ugly accident
occurred in the first heat of the 2.25
pace. When about half of the distance
had been traversed. Clifton L., driven
