Grounds
Hurrelrs dining hall, Cape May
Court House, held forty of Cape May
County Fair workers, when Joseph
Camp. president of the Board of Agri-
culture. called the roll on Saturday,
August 18th. Fifteen committees re-
ported what each had done and what
further was to be done before the 1922
Fair can be called the biggest. The
Grange Picnic Committee, through
Ralph Schellenger. reported that a
large tent and admission free would be
furnished the Changers for their pic
mic on Thursday, September 18th; also
that the Sea Isle City Band would fur
nish music, while State Worthy Mas
ter Agans4 and Assistant State Librar-
ian Miss Sarah B. Askew would speak.
Mrs. p. G. Washburn, though not pres
ent. sent her report that the Ambas-
sador Studio of Philadelphia would
present free of charge a fine . x Is
photo to every child that was weighed
and measured by the State Bureau of
Hygiene, which will have a Baby
Keen Well Station" on the fair
grounds. John N. Reeve, chairman of
the Poultry Committee, reported the
poultry premium list would be ready
for distribution soon and that the Cape
May County poultrymen, as we'll as
several from Cumberland County,
were planning to exhibit their birds.
There is no entry fee. Another feature
which aroused enthusiasm was o. F.
Ferree's talk about trap shooting. Cash
prizes, open to all competitors, were
decided upon and many local as well
as out of county shooters are ex-
pected to try their skill. John G.
Smith, advertising manager of the
Fair, stated that the Fair Booklet
would be in the hands of every farmer.
The Midway on the Fair grounds is
being heightened to provide for the
exhibits of the Goslin Lumber Co.
and Koeneke Bros, of Wildwood,
large machinery exhibits, such as are
put on by j. P. Collins and Co., and
those of the automobiles, tractors and
other commercial exhibits. John H.
Ross, of the Concession and Privilege
Committee, reported that the Fair con-
cessions sold for nearly three times
their former value. Samuel Llewellyn
will see to it that the Sea Isle City
Band will be at the Fair every after
noon, and so great is the enthusiasm
of this popular band that they might
even give a concert in the evening of
18th, when the Cape May
County Bankers Association holds it's
quarterly meeting on the grounds.
Camp called upon E. r.
Brunyate, county superintendent of
schools, who gave an excellent ac-
count of the cooperation given the
Fair by the public and vocational
schools, and incidentally gave a good
account of himself in the role of
after-dinner speaker. Mr.. Rhodes,
to Mr.. Brunyate in the Cape
May schools, led the songs of the even
ing. Mrs. J. Mecray, of Cape May, and
committee of capable workers from
all parts of the county, will aid in
across a fine exhibition of
needlework, baking and
canning. E. H. Phillips, Jr., head of
the Dairy Committee, and Edward CAL
speaking for the Swine Com
mittee, stated that their helpers ex-
pected to put on exhibition a few pure
bred calves and hogs that would show
May County was at least not
all scrubs.
When it came to the Athletic Com
Bert Friedman, whose Court
House team seems to stand out as the
unqualified champions of Cape May
County baseball, stated that good ball
would be played every day at the Fair,
and that among other games that
would be played would be a champion
Cumberland and Atlantic Counties. DR..
julius Way, chairman of the Fruit
Committee, said there was a heavy
crop in the county. Bernard Tronnem,
speaker for the Vegetable Committee,
could see no reason for not having a
big display of vegetables and field
crops, since there were plenty of
things to exhibit on Cape May County
Farms. All produce will be admitted
free to the grounds on the first day.
Friday, September Sth, will be po-
litical day. The Governor and other
notables of New Jersey have been in
vited. Saturday, September 9th, is the
day when all those who come on the
other two days must come to see a
good trap shoot offered by the Stone
Harbor Gun Club and then to say
good bye for another year.
