Racing and Plenty of Attractions
Kent and Sussex Fair at Harring-
ton has closed after experiencing one
of the most successful years since 1t
was started. The second largest crowd
was in attendance to witness the au-
tomobile races. This makes the fourth
year that the fair has been held with
out rain interference. On one or two
occasions the association carried rain
insurance. Financially the fair has
been so much of a success that it is
expected that the entire Indebtedness
will be cleared up this year, which will
then place the association on a solid
basis. 1t will probably be necessary
before another season to erect several
more stables and a number of eXhl-
bition buildings. During the past
year the association was pressed for
stable room so much that they rented
several large. tents and hastily erect
| ed them to take care of the ever in
creasing number of horses. In addl-
tion to the tents most all unused
stables in and around town were oc-
cupied by race horses. In the chill
dren's department could be seen some
wonderful work. Miss Edith Smith
was superintendent, with Mrs. B. L
Shaw as assistant, and they stated
that their departments had more eX'
hibits than previous years. =.
Mrs. Townsend Rust, of Bridgevillt
acted as a judge in this department
and the following awards were made
