Rockville Fair To
Offer Attractions
Like Other Years
No Efforts Being Spared To
Make Program Interesting
Many Events Scheduled

According to Clarence L. Gilpin,
Edward Oliver and other sponsors of
the 1882 Rockville Fair, no effort will
be spared to stage an interesting and
attractive program at the old Fair
Grounds on August II, Is, 10 and 20.
The old fair will be copied as nearly
as possible and added attractions will
be offered. There will be something
for every patron to like and the spon-
sors believe that the admission, which
has been cut SO per cent, will result
in a good attendance.
On Wednesday, the opening day of
the Fair, children will be admitted
free of charge as usual. There will
also be no charge for adults at the
gates during the evening. The pony
show and pony races will feature the
day.
Thursday will be Carnival Day, with
fireworks at plight and varied attrac-
tons during the day. Acts will be
staged in front of the grandstand
every afternoon and evening and q
good program of wrestling will prob
ably be offered. The fireworks display
on the last three nights, it is said, will
be the greatest exhibition of sky
bombardment ever seen in this Sec
ton of the country.
The Dog Show, staged under the
auspices of the Rockville Kennel Club,
affiliated with the American Kennel
Club, will be the big attraction on
Friday. A large sum will be offered in
premiums and the judges will be W..
Fred Ford, of Philadelphia; W. F.
Gilroy, of Pittston, Pa, and George
Yard, of Camden, N. ]. Events will be
arranged for all classes and breeds
of dogs. ]. B. HINES is president of
the Rockville Kennel Club.
There will be a cattle exhibit with
open classes. The women will as usual
have their exhibits of canned goods,
preserves, fancy articles, etc., in the
agricultural building,
Twenty (2O) prizes will be given
away free every evening. Persons
holding lucky tickets received at the
gate will be rewarded. Horse racing
will be the only conspicuous event
offered in former years and lacking
this year.

of horses and Jasper NJ. Jackson the
best team of mules.
Thos. j. Lea and E. C. Gilpin cap
tured major honors with their Dur
ham cattle. A. NJ. Stabler owned the
best pair of working oxen. The latter
also cleansed up with his CotsWoid
sheep. DR.. F. Thomas and Frederick
Stabler won with their Poland China
breeds of hogs. Mrs. Frank Thomas
and Mrs. Mary c. Brooke were award
ed. premiums for their fresh country
butter.
Yes, it was true then that Mrs. N.
D. Offutt had the best current wine
on display and we may imagine that
there were plenty Of applicants for the
post Of judging the sparkling bever-
age. Mrs. Charles Brooke took top
honors for her Domestic Grape Wine.
Asa M. Stabler and Mrs. w. Chi
chester were prize winners in vege-
tables while S. T. Stonestreet heads
the list with his fruit.
While this by no means concludes
the list of prize winners, the lack Of
space precludes further mention Of
awards. A majority of the exhibitors
at the Fair were no doubt even then
thinking of the annual horticultural
exhibition at Sandy Spring on the
21st. Quite few of Sandy Spring
neighborhood folk are included in the
fair awards list for that year.

Officials Deny
Report Of County
Tax Rate Increase
Commissioner Shaw States That
Rate Is $l.3O; No Increase
Over 1881

Montgomery County officials have
pointed out that reports Of the in
crease in the county tax rate as stated
this week in Washington newspaper
are erroneous and misleading. The re-
ports showed an increase of rs cents
on the dollar and added an extra dis
trict, the fourteenth, whereas only
thirteen are in existence.
According to Lacy Shaw, president
of the Board of County Commission
ers, the tax rate for 1882 is $1.3O ON
the 800 Of assessed value and is the
same rate as that of 1891.
The following statement and table
has been issued to correct the re-
ports which have been declared in
error:
The special road bond taxes levied
in the election districts this year have
been reduced in Of the County's 10
districts. Consequently, the County
and local taxes are reduced in these 2
election districts for 1882 as compared
in 1881. In the other IL districts of
the County, the 1882 County and cleo
ton district tax rates are the same as
in 1881.
The State tax of 25 cents on the
hundred dollars assessed value, con-
tinues the same Throughout the State
and throughout Montgomery County
in 1882 as in 1881.
Nineteen of Maryland's % counties
have furnished their 1882 County tax
rates to the State Tax Commission
and these rates were announced by
the State Tax Commission through
the Baltimore sun about July 18th,
1892.
Four Counties have lower tax rates
than Montgomery County in 1882.
These counties are:
Cecil County with a 1882 County
tax rate of S1.20.
Charles County with 1882 County
tax rate of SIPS.
Frederick County with 1882 Coun-
ty tax rate of $1.20.
Washington County with a 1882
County tax rate of $1.20.
Caroline, Hartford and Montgomery
Counties are tied for fifth place with
County tax rate of $1.30.
In the case of Montgomery County
the $1.30 represents both the 1881 and
1882 County tax rates.
Twelve other counties fixed higher
1882 tax rates than the Montgomery
County rate.
These twelve are:

Gaithersburg Fire
Efficiency Of Firemen At Cart
ner Blaze Probably Saved
Town From Disaster

But for the promptness and effic-
iency of the Gaithersburg- Washington
Grove and Rockville Volunteer Fire
Departments, the town of Gathers
burg might now lie in ruins as the re-
suit Of blaze which early Wednes-
day morning seriously damaged the
furniture store and undertaking es-
adjustment of Ernest C. Gartner.
The Gartner family was away most
Of the evening Tuesday and when they
retired at II P. NJ. nothing appeared
to be amiss. Mrs. Gartner awakened
about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning
to discover the reflection of flames
through the window. She awakened
her husband and he saw that the
blaze was even then making great
Roadway in the middle of the struc-
tnre. About the same time Arthur
Gloyd, Gaithersburg resident, discov-
cred the fire. The alarm was sounded
and the two above mentioned fire de-
partments responded. Not only were
the nearby Gartner home and other
buildings saved from the blaze, but
the fire was miraculously halted be-
fore it reached either end of the
establishment.
The loss was estimated at about
$4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance. The conjecture is that the fire
was caused by faulty wiring as the
blaze apparently originated near the
service box.
The building was composed of ma
terial formerly used in the old Grace
NJ E. Church South, which was orig
'lnally located on the Old Trail. The
church was erected in 1867 and wa
purchased years afterward BY Alex
ander Carlisle and moved to its pres
ent location where it was torn down
and the same material used to rebuild
the structure. Mr.. Gartner bought Mr..
Carlisle out in 1918.
Mr.. Gartner has announced that
business will be carried on as usual,
arrangements having been made to
continue activities elsewhere.

Passing Of Famous Rockville Fair
Recalls Early Prize Winners
Premium List Of Half Century Ago Names Farmers
Whose Regulations For Agricultural
Activity Still Survive

With the passing of the famous
Rockville Fair, which has attracted
many thousands to Rockville in the
past 70 years, there comes to mind
the intense interest displayed in the
agricultural exhibits of the past de-
cades and the hurry and hustle of the
farmers as they prepared for the big
event of the year. Wagons were paint
ed and put in shape. Horses were
carefully groomed and the ever busy
housewife sang as she arranged her
tempting display of canned goods and
fancy articles.
A summary of the prize winners of
so years ago shows names still famil-
lar in the county, although the recipi-
ents of those awards have long since
crumbled to clay.
A half century ago T. ]. Owens re-
ceived first place for saddle horses
and George F. Bradley won out for
the best walking mare or gelding. H.
J.Hoyle and VIM. R. Gather were
winners in the blooded horse classes.
W. ]. Gary and William E. Muncaster
were among those takirE prizes in
the quick draft class.
In the general utility class, Frank

Police Halt Plans
Of Virginia Pair
Seeking License

When Willie Wood, 20 and Virginia
Embrey, 16, both of Nelson County,
Va, applied for a marriage license at
Rockville Thursday, they were inform
ed that there was a warrant out for
the former and that Sheriff K. M.
Baker, of Nelson County, had asked
Montgomery County police to detain
the pair.
Virginia's father later relented
and telephoned the pair permission
to marry. They were unable to OBJ
tain a license at Rockville, however,
because of the girls age.
