Have Been Added.
10000 PEOPLE EXPECTED
TO VISIT THE BIG SHOW

Everything is in readiness for the
twenty-frst annual meeting of the
Pocomoke Fair which begins on Tues
day next and will continue for four
days.
In line with the policy of the Asso-
citation to make improvements each
Year and to make each fair better
than the one preceding, the grounds
have been put in first-class condition,
new fences have been erected, and all
the buildings have oeen renovated and
pu1 in first class condition for the big
show.
The track is in excellent shape and
TIE racing program bids fair to be as
good, if not better than in previous
Years. The entry list includes many
well known horses of the Eastern
Shore owned by friends of the fair
patrons.
For the special amusement of the
young folks the management has put
on pony races for Tuesday and Fri
day. The entry list for these races is
large and this attraction will alone be
worth the price Of admission and will
be one of the special features of this
years meeting. A race open to Wor-
ce$ter county horses only is on the
ca1d for Wednesday which will no
doubt attract great attention all over
the county.
Baseball games in the Eastern
Shore League series have been ar
ranged for three mornings of the
fair. On Tuesday and Wednesday
mornings the strong Salisbury club
will be the opponents of the local
team, and on Thursday morning, the
club will entertain the Crisfeld team.
There will be the usual high class
exhibits of farm and home products.
The management have arranged for
a SPECIAL exhibition of swine that will
surpass anything of the kind ever
seen here. Norvel Pepper, of Sea
ford, Del, will exhibit his 935 pound
fog, which attracted so much attcn-
tion at the Harrington fair. County
Agent, e. |. Oswald, and Home Dem
Cnstration Agent, Miss Walter, are
extending the usual cooperation tow
aid the success of the farm and home
exhibits. The usual high class dis
play of farming implements, musical
Instruments, automobiles and other
articles may be expected.
A feature display in the Exhibition
Hall, will be an exhibition and sale of
articles, made at the Maryland Work
shop for the Blind, Baltimore. The
exhibit includes great variety of
knitted and crocheted articles, fancy
Erooms, ETC. These products show
wonderful craftsmanship and are in
tcresting as evidence of the skill of
the blind workers, and real intrinsic
values.
The midway this year promises to
he better than ever before. Billy
Clarke's Broadway Shows, the largest
carnival ever on tie Shore, have been
given the concession for the amuse-
plents. The attractions will include
the whip, ferris wheel, merrygo
round, Venetian gondolas, aeroplane
swings, and all the other amusements
common to Coney Island and mid
ways. In addition there will be ten
CT twelve high class shows of various
descriptions and thirty or more other
concessions in which fun and amuse-
ment will be the predominant feature.
Among the free attractions, Daly's
Trained Army, with spectacular ath-
letic feats: Will Rogers, baritone
singer of National reputation who will
sing from the grandstand daily with
pand accompaniment; Miss Quincy,
who dives from 90 foot ladder into
a tank containing less than five feet
CT water, occupy the chief place.
Bands of music are engaged for the
pleasure and entertainment of the fair
Iatrons.
Good weather permitting, it is safe
10 predict that 10000 people will visit
cur city on the four big days of the
fair.
