Kent C Sussex Fair grounds. The
fair officials always start things
early to get in shape for the fair
which opens in July. They recent
ly let contract for a new $4,000
horse barn to give added training
quarters and to replace some of the
old structures. The local track is
rated as being one of the best in the
East for training. Consequently
soon after the first of the year
horses begin to arrive. At the
present time some very valuable
horses are in training. According
to fair officials over $1,000,000 in
horse flesh is invested in the horses
now at the track. Mr.. E. H. Harri-
man, millionaire of New York, re-
valued at $4,000. The mayor of
Scranton, Pa, has also been here,
being a prospective buyer.
In less than "a hours the Harring-
ton Firemen answered two alarms of
fire. The first call was given. last
night for a chimney fire at the home
of Enoch Jacobs, two miles south of
FELTON,. 1t was extinguished without
damage before the firemen arrived.
The second alarm was turned in
early this morning for fire at the
restaurant of Cohhe & Stone. For
nIer Fire Chief Potter turned in the
alarm and it also was extinguished
before the firemen left the fire
house. The restaurant is located in
the Klump block, frame structure,
very old and a fire trap. If a fire
ever gets a good start it is predicted
that the whole block would be
doomed.
Held over from last week.
