local interest that gate receipts and! entry fees would not pay operating ex­penses. The race horse man in charge that year told me himself that people iwre do not appreciate the sport of Udags—radaff—that he was thronch with Manassas. (And, by the way, h« was the only man in the county mak­ing a specialty <a racing.)

Sure enough, there was no meet tlie next year. Business men and fannexk then felt.it would be wise to start an agricoltoral fair. Careful inquiry waa made, not only by fte Ladies' Auxil­iary, bat also \v the Farmws' Xnsti-tate, and we were assored by both county agent and his fair expert, that a fair could be niade a sneeess witixwit races, gambling devices, aad immoral shows, aad that there would be no' such. T9 Biake sore, wa want fartKsr by iaaidingthatitbe pot in the char­ter.

Later OD, at a special meeting, called tor that purpose^ enough sto(& and proxies were secnred to insert a daoae calling for "Contests of Speed." Some of us, while not daiming te be i^iilos-ophers, tSiought We could see that there woold not ]^ much difference be­tween a "cMitest of speed" and a horse race, and refdsed to take up oar stock. (They claim now that we do not amount to moeh—only a few cranks.) It was seHous enmigh though for tiieat, then, to admit fhey could not go forward without money, so a meet­ing was called at the courthouse to de^ tormina what tiie people wanted! a rising vote and count, we found that racing was tamed down by three to one. Thoe were no races tha( year.

bi 192(ttbe Horse Show erowd ovar. reached as by changing the date agreed upcm, to t ^ one iriueh rained out. Tins was done to pot op in the Horse Show circuit, so profes­sional drc^it-goers could drop off at M«Tni«M»T enronte to Fauqaiar. Few will f(»xet the conttpoous downpour of rain opont these dates. They daim, and it is true (we are thankful for. it) that we do not make the weather—but the Horse Show crowd, and ibips alone, are responsible for putting our fair onda tiu^ particular water-spout of 1920. I predicted also at the.time that the origrizud date would prove fine weather. So it tamed out, as can bej; estahluhed by witnesses—tf> whom I'J xemarlKd; 1 told yim So. " !

Notice tiiey set the 1921 show again' in Horse Show instead of Fair circuit. > August is too farly—weathn- too hot j and dusty. Or stormy. Crops, young 1 stock and poultry are immature, andi old birds ia moult. We wish a datoj jost hef<»« or after the Fairfax Fair. \. August date akme is snJBeient to ^e-1 vrat a saeceasfd fair.

'New to business point of view. Thn race track and grounds bdong to a aoa-resideat, who refuses to conddcr its sale or a long term lease. Stt^ to think a minute. Were this associa­tion a sneeess otherwise, would it not be foolish to put permanoit buildings oa land belonging to some one elsef Instead, the association's statmaent is practically an admissim of insolvency. Liabiiitiea approximating |7,000 and what are its asseto? Two years axo we directed attentiim to the wrong in placing more money on horses than all the crops sad stock combined—reeom-inended a redaction of %lfiO0, whidi still left over twice what Fairfax pats on ito horse department. Instead of reducing the 6orse Show prises, they were increased |1,400 to 11,700, exda-dve of purses. Is it wise to pot more money into one attraetioB ( t ) thaa into our poultry, sheep and p%s, asks an ex.'sapointendent?

Whether we Hke it or not, most of US are up against a long period of en­forced economy.
