An "OLd Timer" ReUiUes
Memories OF Rockville Fair

From Brooklyn, N. Y, one who
signs himself "Old Timer" writes
of visit on Sunday, April 30th
to Tuscarora Farm and to the old
Fair Grounds at Rockville "but
what and why-only memories Of
the past"
"Goin' to take load of hay and
stay all day at the Rockville Fair
those were the days when they
came early, unhitched the family
carriage "hoss", tied MIN to a
tree, put the shafts of the carriage
over the fence around the race
track, relaxed, ate lunch from
Mason's cracker box and enjoyed
the fun. Thursday was the big
day, when the county races were
on-1O,O00 CD people were there!
Tuck Rabbits TrOtter
"Such famous old timers as
Tuck Rabbit with mis- trotting
mare Bessie Gould"-Tom Hick-
man with Boston" Johnny
Grimes up) usually won the run
ming race-both Tuck and Tom
had the winning habit. However,
youngster made up a syndicate
and bought a filly named "Mont-
gomery Girl", which trained and
driven by George Patterson, a col
ored man, beat old Tuck. Then
along came McFonso, a runner,
owned by a Mr.. Keys of Linden,
and beat Boston, so the habit
ceased with botn Tuck and Tom.
"After the District Of Columbia
was admitted to the races it was
not long before the Rockville Fair
was only a memory. Too bad, for
the fair brought together people
from all sections Of the county.

entirely wrong. These men in

in uniform and fighting that the

will be safeguarded. They are
citizens as well as soldiers and
are not only entitled to vote but
