Smart, judge of this judicial district. Some had to be turned away because of the crowding. The schools is about to begin its 41st year of work. : The crowds at the county fair continue to set records and yesterday more than 4,000 attended. The trotting and pacer races are the key feature and crowds of more than 2,000 are attending contests involving some of the finest horses in the region. The motorcycle race drew only five entries but also drew a lot of attention.”
