HARRINGTON

On Sunday night a large crowd
sauntered up and down the midway
and visited the livestock stables. In
order to facilitate the handling OF
carnival equipment, none but official
cars were permitted to enter the
back entrance to the grounds. This
resulted in hundreds of automobiles
using the parking space on the fair
grounds and two other lots just out
side. Monday night, Lucky Teter"
and his assistants performed many
daring feats in front of the grand
stand which was estimated to be
about two-thirds full. The large
bleacher section was also well filled.
Fair visitors have the use of the
parking lots free Of charge in the
evenings and after the daredevil
acts are over wander over to the
midway. Each show and exhibit
tells the world by public address
| system or loud speaker that they
are showing the feature attraction.
After the free shows are over, many
go inside. State Police at the fair
grounds are under the command Of
Lieutenant Charles B. Knox, Serge
ants James Wood, Jerry Sullivan
and Sergeant Hickman; Corporal
Holt and twelve privates selected
from the three police stations in
lower Delaware. Soon after the
gates opened Tuesday morning a
sizeable crowd had assembled, being
children's day. The rural sections
take advantage of free admissions
extended to children and make it a
day of fun. After once inside the
children seek their own enjoyment.
The group Of Boy Scouts are in q
small tented city near the race track,
and they run errands and do other
small jobs. Everyone is complain
ing of the heat, and while there is
plenty Of shade on the grounds it is
still very hot.
