Great Kent & Sussex Fair Closes
Most Successful Season

Great Kent u sussex FalF OlOseS
Most Successful Season
The Kent & Sussex Fair Associa-
ton closed Saturday evening after
enioving one of the most successful
seasons in it's history of six years.
The attendance records and receipts
went far above expectations, and are
most gratifying to the officers OF the
association. During its six years OF
operation, excellent weather condl-
tions have prevailed until this year,
when a doWn-pOuP of rain lasting all
dav Friday, put an end to the races
scheduled for Friday and upset the
nlans of the visitors who had intend
ed to visit the fair o nthat day. Early
Saturday morning it was feared the
rain would prevent the auto races,
blIt a hot sun and cooling breezes
soon dried off the track suf1clent TO
carry out the schedule.
The annual fair this year has been
such a great success that in all prob
ability plans will be discussed our
ing the winter to increase the sue
of the~plot on which the talr Is 10
Gated and no doubt Will conslueI
building additional exhibition nails.
According to the superintendents III
n number of the departments, tney
had tn reject entries due to housing
enace A large addition was Dullt 10
the grandstand this year and still II
was not large enough to take care
of tbe visitors desiring seats. On a
number of occasions the sale OF
grandstand seats was closed before
fbe races were scheduled to start.
Thursday was the banner day Ior al,
tendance but more people entereu
the grandstand on Saturday. IL Is al
most an assured fact that a larger
grandstand will be built by next sea-
son. :,
