Never lias such an array of f hoice racing talent heen secured tor a fair in this vicinity. The entries now number lis for the six early closing stake races, with the big $1.000 free-or-all and nine pacing and trotting events and live run'i dug races yet to be tilled. And newr has such a display of products from farm, shop and store, live : io( k. civic centers and personal exhibits tiefn shown here as is now being arranged for. I levari in January. Ever f.ince early in January the secretary, president and executive i ommittees have l.een hard at work arranging the details the hip fair. As the time aipr;-,'.vS these, committees have heen amplified and the v.'iirk has gone ahead at top speed. Arranging exhibit space, contracting: for amusements, preparing the premium list, booking the race horsey and attending to the thousand and one details In which the general public la little interested hut are of ital importance to the success of the undertaking. Reports from all over' the county indicate that the patronage will be the heaviest of any year the fair has been presented. Hundreds o! agents have been secured in the neighboring cities, towns and ham-l.-tM to handle the advance sale of tickets. These are sold three t'or $1.1. j. each good for one 60 cent admission and not only effect a large savins for the purchaser but the advance sale wil act as a guarantee lund that will protect the fair association. In other words the risk of giving an open air show live days in the year, to pet a return for the almost year-'round expenditures, is mattered amnmr many in the community, rather than to let the association bear it all.
