Notable Success of Recent Fairs President Barringer Welcomes Stu
dents Peanut Growers and Horticulturists Hold Important Sessions
at Jamestown. ' !
Messrs. Editors: The Fifth Roa
noke Fair, held September 24-27,
was a success in every way. The
first day was Children's Day. Fully
five thousand of the little ones were
on the grounds.
The races .were a great feature
of each day. The running and trot
ting casts were both well filled and
the purses were of a size to be worth
winning. "Southwest Day," on the
2 5th brought excursion loads of
strangers, and the crowd on the
26th, Roanoke Day, was estimated
at 20,000. The exhibits in all lines
were good and the fair was a signal
success.
Seed Corn Contest.
The Rappahannock Valley Fair at
Fredericksburg, September 23-26,
had a fine attendance every day. The
receipts will be sufficient to defray
all expenses, pay for all prizes, and
leave a good balance on hand. The
races here afforded much pleasure to
the sight-seers, but of especial prac-,
tical interest was the seed corn con
test. The first prize was awarded to
Dr. C. B-. Martin, of Caroline County;
the second to Mrs. S. G. Howison.i
of Spottsy'lvania County. President!
Henry Donnehl, of the Fair Society,
was awarded third prize, but de
clined to accept it, owing to his offi
cial position. This prize will be
awarded later to some other ex
hibitor. Dr. Barringer Addresses Students.
On Tuesday ' evening the new stu
dents had their formal welcome to
the Institute, at Blacksburg, at
which celebration Dr. Barringer, the
new. President of Virginia Polytech
nic Institute, addressed the student
body as a whole, and his speech
was a most happy and cordial one.
Petersburg Horse Show.
The first annual Horse Show, held
at Petersburg, September 27-30.
afforded the lovers of good horses
a chance to see some splendid ani
mals and to witness some fine feats
of horsemanship. The classes were
well filled, and all society turned out
to see "the show."
Peanut Growers Meet at Jamestown.
The National Peanut Growers'
Association held a most interesting
meeting at Jamestown Exposition, in
Convention Hall, with about 150

Exposition Company, made the ad
dress of welcome, and the response
was made by C. W. Mitchell, Presi
dent of the Association.
Among the other speakers were
Professor L. C. Corbett, of Washing
ton, on the subject of "The Peanut
as an Agricultural Crop;" Professor
W. F. Massey, of Maryland, on
"Farm Rotation for Improvement of
Peanut Crop;" Dr. L. R. Edwards,
of Franklin, Va., on "The Use of the
Peanut."
Virginia State Fair.
Everything points to a great Fair
at Richmond. The entries for all
classes of live stock are filling rap

daily. Workmen are putting the fin
ishing touches to race tracks,
grounds, and buildings, and exhib
itors are busy getting their exhibits
in place.
