KENT-SUSSEX FAIR
HAS ITS BEST YEAR
Closed On Saturday Afternoon Last
After A Most Successful Run.
Attendance Was Large.
PRESSED FOR STABLE ROOM
1t Will Probably Be Necessary To
Erect Several More Before Next
Years Fair Is Held.

Kent and Sussex Fair closed Satur-
day, after experiencing one of the
most successful years since it 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 solid basis.
1t will probably be necessary before
another season to erect several more
stables and a number of exhibition
buildings. During the past year the
association was pressed for stable
room so much that they rented sever
al large tents and hastily erected them
to take care of the ever increasing
number Of horses. In addition to the
tents me all unused stables in and
around Jwn were occupied by race
horses.
In the children's department could
be seen some wonderful work. Miss
Edith Smith was superintendent, with
Mrs. B. I. Shaw as assistant, and they
stated that their departments bad
more exhibits than previous years.
Mrs. Townsend Rust, of BridgeVille,
acted as a judge in this department,
and the following awards were made:
