BUILDINGS READY FOR ALL EXHIBITS Race Track In Good Shape an Races This Year Prom ise to Be Even Better Than Those of Last Year. With the opening of the second an nual C&barnits County Fair only two weeks off. officer® of the fair associa-! tion are redoubling their efforts to get | everything lined up for an auspicious l opening. Plans so far perfected lead i them to believe that the fair will get underway without hitch. J. F. Cannon, president, and Dr. T. ! N. Spencer, secretary, together with ■ other officers of the association, are giv- j iug details of the fair most of their; time and attention now/ They have! worked out all the major features of | the program and they are engaged now t on the task of perfecting the minor de- j tails so that nothing will occur to cause i a change in the main features of the! attractive program arranged. The fair will officially open on the I morning of October 21st and officers of j the association believe the opening day I crowd will be greater than the one that \ crashed through the gates last year on i the opening day. Again this year I school children will be admitted to the grounds free on the opening day and the same courtesy will be extended vet erans of all wars who appear at the grounds in their uniforms. Last year many of the schools of the county ob served a holiday for tlie opening of the fair so the children could attend without missing school work and it is expected that the same plan will be followed this year by a majority of the schools of the county. All buildings at the fair grounds are in readiness now for the opening. Sev eral of the buildings have been enlarged during the summer, all have b»*en painted and repaired and in addition several new ones have been erected to care for fea tures that will be offered for the first time this year. Taking first rank among the new fea tures to be offered this year is the bench show. Officers of the associa tion have asked Capt. W. S. Bingham, dog fancier and expert, to take charge of this feature and already lie has lined up for the show* some of the best dogs in the State. The benefi show will be staged in a building erected especially for the dogs and so much interest has been aroused already in that officers have expressed the opinion that it will prove oue of the biggest drawing cards of the fair. The livestock and poultry buildings have been enlarged during the summer and this means more entries. The en try lists being prepared now' indicate that some of the most prominent live stock and poultry fanciers in this part of the State will be represented in the exhibits. There was so much poultry entered last year that additional coops were purchased for this year’s fair. The midway again this year promises to be the last word in clean entertain ment. The shows secured for the fair this year are entirely different from the 1 ontv offered lust years as a different company has been secured for the mid PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N. C., MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1924 way. In addition t.o the shows under tent there will be the merry-go-round, the ferris wheel and tlies various rides that were enjoyed by thVaLrvhds last year. Free attractions, to be offered each ‘afternoon just before and during the races and again each night, will be un usually fine this* year. The attractions last year drew thousands of spectators but the program of this feature will be more varied this year. Some of the most prominent performers in this line of work will flash their wares during the fair. The races are certain to be better and faster than last year. Grace Direct, one of the fastest of harness horses in this part of the country, will enter a special race again this year and in opposition to her there wfill be other horses quali fied to oppose her. This race will be a special one, but every afternoon there will be races that are certain to attract and hold the at tention of the hundreds expected to wit ness them. Already more than lOt) horses have been entered for the local fair and before the fair opens the total is expected to reach the* 125 mark. Last year 112 horses wele here for the fair. The value of the purses has been in creased and SI,OOO purses will be of fered each afternoon. The race program follows: Tuesday, October 21st. 2:14 Trot— Purse SSOO. 2:17 Trot —Purse SI,OOO. Wednesday, October 22nd. 2:12 Pace—Purse SI,OOO. 2:10 Trot—Purse SI,OOO. Thursday, October 23rd. 2:17 Pace—Purse SI,OOO. 2:20 Trot—Purse SI,OOO. Free For All—Purse SSOO. Friday, October 24tii. 2:09 Pace —Purse SI,OOO. 2 :23 Trot —Purse SI,OOO. Saturday; October 25th. 2:15 Pace —Purse SSOO. Consolation Purse SSOO. Farmers and farm women will have more space this year in which to exhibit their produce. The exhibit hall has not been enlarged but the amount of ad vertising space has been cut down, al lowing more space for the exhibits. Re ports from various parts of the county assure many community exhibits in ad dition to the undreds thaf will be offered by individuals. The fair association paid its premiums very promptly last year and this fact is expected to increase the number of exhibits. The people | know there is no catch to the proposi tion and the knowledge that they will get their premium money immediately after the fair closes is expected to in fluence many who might otherwise hesi tate to go to the trouble of preparing and entering exhibits. Additional space for the farmers’ pro duce is being provided because the fair officials realize that the farm exhibits are the most interesting features of the fair. They are educational as well and by of j sering a premium for the best produce in each line the fair officers feel that they I are encouraging the farmers and farm 1 women to raise only the best, whether (it be produce or livestock. Only favorable weather is needed now* to assure a fair that will eclipse by far the one hald last year. And last year’s fair was recognized by all as one of the best and most interesting ever held in the South. The following special days will be ob served during the week: Tuesday, October 21st. Educational Day. Iredell County Day. (Continued on Page Five) SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS FOR M’LEAN AND MORRISON I Party Campaign and Ports Fights Will Be Continued During Coming Week. Raleigh.
