ROCKVILLE. Md, August 23.-With
the seVenty-siXth annual Rockville Fair
drawing to close. officials were appre-
henSive today that when accounts are
balanced there will be very LITTLE, if
anything, on the right side of the ledger
and the possibility of a small deficit
was suggested.
The attendance yesterday, the big
day, while large, was not up to eXpec-
tations, and threatening weather, it is
thought, considerably curtailed the
crowd last night. Today's fine pro-
gram, however, is expected to attract
more than average number of fourth
day visitors, and favorable weather to-
night and tomorrow may, 1t is thought.
yet make the exhibition a financial
success.
The annual fair ball was held last
evening and was attended by a large
gathering from the county, the District
OF Columbia and elsewhere.
Races Satisfy.
The six racing events, all runs, at the
fair yesterday provided an entire after
noon of sport that seemed to satisfy
the large crowd. The track was deep
in dust, rendering anything like record
time in any of the contests out of the
question. Because of the condition Of
the going, the mile hurdle, scheduled
as the final race of the day, was de-
clared off and a fiat event at a mile
and half substituted. Summaries:
