CROWDS AT GATES
OF ROCKVILLE FAIR
Full and Varied Program
Ready on Third Big Day
of Exhibition.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md. August "a
Large crowds again began filing into
the fair grounds here as the gates
opened at o'clock this morning, APP
parently in happy anticipation of en-
joying the full and varied program pro-
vided for the third and big day of the
flve-day exhibition of the Montgomery
County Agricultural Society.
The stream of humanity gradually
increased as the day wore on, with
every indication that the middle of the
afternoon would find a very large
crowd on the grounds. The visitors
came by automobile, electric cars, steam
trains and afoot, the county, the Dis
trict OF Columbia, nearby Virginia and
adjoining counties supplying the bulk.
Jockey Killed.
When his mount, Royal Airman, fell
at the second jump in the mile hurdle
IN the final race on the program at the
fair here yesterday afternoon, Dick
Herman, Is, of Phoenix, Ariz., sustained
injuries which resulted in his death
half an hour later. Evidently blinded
by the dense dust, Royal Airman seemed
to run into instead of attempting to
jump the hurdle and he and his rider
went down in heap.
Herman, who, 1t Is thought, was
rolled on by the animal, was placed in
an ambulance and died after reaching
the Sandy Spring Hospital.
Herman was unmarried. A young
woman, to whom it is said he was
engaged, witnessed the accident.
The annual fair dance will be held
tonight in the fair grounds hall. It
will be in charge of committee headed
by Ohio c. Trundle of Gaithersburg
and many young people from the
county, the District of Columbia and
elsewhere are expected to attend. Mrs
Charles G. Holland and Mrs. George
M. Hunter will act as chaperons.
