More Than 600 Birds Entered in Fair This Year.—
Fraternal Day Tomorrow With Singing Contest
, One of the Features Planned for the Closing Day
of the Fair.
This is Cabarrus County Day at the Fair and hundreds tip
on hundreds of the sons and daughters of the county are at
the grounds, forgetful of routine habits while they renew old
friendships and make new acquaintances. Business in the city
is at a standstill in most instances while the day fs being ob
served as half holiday for the occasion. ,
Visitors at the fair yesterday had to play hide and seek with
the sun and while the attendance was below that of Tuesday
it was much larger than on the second day of the fair last year,
paid admissions being between 1,500 and 2000 more. Showers
fell intermittently throughout the day with a hard downpour
about 6:30 last night despite this conduct on the part of the
weather the regular program was carried out with few inter
ruptions.
Friday.will be another big day at the Fair and on Saturday
the Singing Contest, a hew and unique feature, will be offered.
Singers from Mecklenburg, Gaston, Stanly, Rowan, Davie and
Cabarrus county have entered and their music, to be rendered
in front of the grandstand, Saturday afternoon, will be one of
the most pleasing features of the closing day.

Threatening clouuh hid the sun yes
terday morning but just the name (inn
dreds of visitors wended their way to
the grounds. Shotverx during the
morning kept itqwn the attendance and
the rac4 prog linn and free acts were
postponed half an hour ho late com
ers, baited at home by the showers,
would have auipe time to reach the
grounds W.ien the clouds lifted at 1
o'clock. » '
During the races the main grand
stand gradually filled and at the con*
elusion of the program only a few
Mtttmd sk* were unoccupied. The
showers i n no way interfered with
the program during the afternooti and
excellent races, equally aa good as
those of the first day. were run.
Kobbingen, owned by J. F. Cannon,
beloved president of the fair, held the
attention. Three times he led I'iie
field in the trot, winning first money
Myrtle Axworthy furnished the chief
opposition but the pace was too fast
and the Ooneormd horse won with
something to spare.
The track was fast, sure and to the
liking of the drivers. The pace wat
run in excellent time wit’a Klu Klux,
owned by T. D. Scales, winning in
straight heats.
Judges completed their work Tues
day and yesterday and the priae rib
bons created renewed interest in the
exhibits, livestock and poultry. More
than tiOO birds are exhibited, J. Ivey
Cline, manager of the poultry depart
ment, reported, and there are more
hogs and other iigpstofk than ever
before. . i'"
Another pong race, wdn again by
Joseph Cannon, and a bicycle race
between Sanford Davis, of Salisbury,
and Felix Fink, of Concord, were
added attractions on the track. DaTis
won the bike race by about 25 yards,
taking the lead at the jump and hold
ing it throughout the mile.
Visitors at fair are loud in their
praise of the exhibits in the big hall.
The variety of the exhibita as well as
fjeir quality, Imrprised those per
sons who visited the fair for the first
time this week. They are hot ac
customed to such exhibits at a Vounty
fair.
•Squire NeVell, most prominent cit
izen of Newell, sat in‘the judges’ box
during the races and often commented
on the excellency of the Cabarrus
fairs. He told friends that never be
fore had he seen such a fine field of
horses as t’je fair offers this year,
and added that he has been attending
fairs of all kinds, for many years.
Unusual interest is aroused in the
singing contest to he staged Satur
day. Singers from many counties
will be on band and the contest is
certain to be one of the main attrac
tions of the week.
The crowd refused to be daunted by
overcast skies today. With most bus
iness houses and textile plants in the
city idle this afternoon thousands of
employes dashed for the grounds at
the noon hour while other thousands
crashed into the grounds before the
free acts and races were scheduled to
start at 2 o’clock.
Textile plants in Kannapolis also
were closed this afternoon and one re
port here sUted that the mills at Cor
ne’ios also‘hud c'osed so Its employes
could attend the btg fair.
This morning Mr. and Mrs. E. T.
Cannon served barbecue for the horse
owners, drivers .and a few invited,
friends at the grounda.
When the sun rose in full splendor
this morning them was every indica
tion that the day would be an ideal
ose. However, by 8 o’clock the sides
were cloud-bung again and, a fight
drfssle fell for a short time.
There was a break in tha clouds
before noon, however, and with $e
nun showing every sign of breaking
through in earnest in. time for the
races there was a steady stream of
humanity toward the fair grounda by
