ollgnLIy over O,UUU palQ dunllS-
sions to the fairgrounds were re-
corded Thursday for the second and
what is usually the biggest day of
the fair. This includes both gates.
At the grandstand, Thursday
afternoon, which was slow in filling
up for the races but later p1, ged,
$40 admissions were recorded.
The fairboard was favored with
ideal weather for the three day
event and there is every reason to
believe that was successful.
There was quite a run on men,
bership tickets this year and they
were all sold out the first day. The
Journal presses were running late
Wednesday evening turning out an
additional 800 tickets.
The five trophies, given by as
many merchants for the winners of
the racing events, weer on display
in front of the grandstand. L. S.
Whipkey of Bethany, w. Va, driving
Tiger Sam, won the 2:24 trophy,
presented by Madge's Speciality
Shop with Miss jeanne Croy doing
the honors. Nancy, owned and
driven by w. r. Allen of jefferson
vile, Ohio, won the 2:08 trot event
and The Journal trophy, presented
by Miss Florence Orr, society editor.
Miss Betty Brewer, owned and
driven by Lyn Wilson of GAINESVILLE
won the 2:i8 pace, the third and
final event and the Ehlermann's
Service Station trophy, presented
by T, M. Ehlermann.
The R. D. Buckley Feed Store and
R. c. Moore Planning Mill trophies
were presented on Friday after
noon to the winners of the PA trot
and 2:08 pace.
Sheriff Clayton Mckee was right
"On the Beam" during the county
fair and not single complaint was
registered Thursday. He received
two calls, Wednesday evening, but
neither was of serious nature.
The Caldwell high school band
furnished the music for the after
noon events at the fair and as in
the past, they were more than we'll
received. Thursday afternoon, they
did their stuff in front of the grand
stand, between events.
Wednesday evening, an official
count revealed 800 single admissions
to the fairgrounds, over and above
those who held membership tickets
The stock barns weren't overflow
ing, perhaps due to the weather, but
the exhibit was interesting accord |
ing to Lee McCool of the
Journal staff as well as the addition
al All club exhibits.
F. o. Day of Marietta furnished |
the loud speaking system for the |
entire fairgrounds this year and |
received many favorable and laud-
able comments.
The usual congestion occurred at
the south gate, Thursday, when
everybody tried to get into the fair
grounds at the same time.
A trip through the floral hall re-
vealed the following exhibits and |
booths: Poison Ivy Boys, Ross Wat
son and Vernon Moore leaders; fruit
and vegetables on display and oc-
