FRUITS— DOMESTIC  DRIED 
Fair. 
The  Hornellsvllle  Farmer's  Club  has  3,000  members 
in  good  standing  and  held  Us  annual  fair  during  the 
week  beginning  with  August  22.  Frequent  rains  put 
the  track  in  bad  condition  for  the  races.  The  show 
in  live  stock  was  grand,  but  perhaps  not  as  great  in 
numbers  as  last  year. 
No  Intoxicating  beverages  were  sold  on  the 
grounds.  Warm  meals  were  served  at  25  cents  each. 
It  was  rather  early  for  the  fruit  exhibit,  although 
the  different  varieties  of  apples  were  shown,  many 
in  an  immature  state. 
Premiums  were  offered  for  both  the  thrashed  grains 
and  grains  in  the  straw. 
The  vegetable  exhibit  was  well  up  to  that  of 
former  years,  except  in  celery  and  cabbage.  The 
main  building  was  finely  decorated. 
There  were  some  very  beautiful  and  tasty  designs 
in  the  cnt  flower  department;  also  a  large  show  in 
green-house  plants. 
Bradford  County,  Pa.  took  first  prize  on  creamery 
butter.  The  cheese  prizes  were  won  by  nearby 
factories. 
Stephen  Rowlands,  a  flour  and  feed  dealer  of  the 
city,  offered  a  gold  watch,  valued  at  $35,  for  the  best 
loaf  of  bread  made  from  a  certain  brand  of  flour. 
One  thousand  sacks  were  sold  with  as  many  tickets, 
entitling  the  holder  to  compete.  Loaves  of  all  shapes, 
sizes  and  shades  came  In  until  they  could  be  measured 
by  the  cord.  Several  ladles  of  the  city  were  chosen 
to  select  the  prize  loaf.  w.  b.
