». VOL. LXX XII. GRANUE ENCAMPMENT AND FAIR Thirty Seventh Annus! Gathering a Grand Success Large Number of Exhibits and Many Politicians on the Ground, * Great must be written before the word success lo describe the Grange Cucampment and Fair held on Grange Park, last week. In no de- partment are these words not fitting in description, It was the thirty- seventh annual gathering of this as- sociation, which had its beginning in a one-day picnic in Leech’s woods, then known as the campmeeting woods, near Linden Hall, Then it wag a day of a basket picnic, now it is gatberiog for a week of Centre coun- ty’'s most progressive, most intellectu- al, most scientific farmers. They live here for a week, boused in tents. They spend the time in social inter- course, in exsmining exhibits, ex. changing opinions on farming meth ods, talk politics, extend their ac- quaintances, all of which more firmly bind them together as members of the great Order of the Patrons of Husbandry. Beginning this venture without a dollar in its treasury, and at no time charging an admission fee, the man- agement has been hampered at all times on account of lack of funds. The revenues were expended long be- fore the dreams of the committee were fulfilled. The adoption of good busi- ness principles and the close adher- ance thereto has resulted in the ss- sociation owning todsy its beautifal park of lwenty-eight acres, together with all its improvements, In the way of exhibits no past record ever equaled Lhe one made this year. The exhibits in the main build. ing were entirely ¢ editable a¢ to qual- ity, and in quantity were more than is seen at any of the county fairs lo Cen- tral Pennsylvania. The exhibits of farm machinery was extensive. The exhibitors were largely successful in makiog sales, which, after all, is the end sought for by this class, The meetings in the esuditoriam were attendedgust in proportion to the manuver in which the attractions ap- pesled to the people on the grounds. Bome speakers drew a crowded house, others less, Wednesday the auditorium given over to the Republicans. Their chief standard bearer in Pennsyl- vania, John K, Tener, of Charleroi : Coogressman John M. Reynolds, of Bedford, candidate for lieatenant governor ; and Hon, P, A, Shaner, a personal friend of the candidate for governor, were present, all of whom epoke. E. B. Dorset, of Mansfield, also spoke. He is a Graoger aod an- nounced that his talk would not be of a political pature, but he could not help but make a few jibes that some. what detracted from what bad been previously said. ’ Thursday the Keystone candidste for lieutenant governor, D. Clarence Gibboney, of Philadelphia, and Corne- Hus D. Beully, of Pittsburg, candidate for treasurer on the ssme ticket, were enthusiestically received on reaching the grounds just before the noon hour, The speaking followed after luncheon had been served in chairman Rhone’s private tent. The auditorium was crowded throughout the entire time the candidate and Chairman A, A. Dale” were on the platform. Mr. Gibboney devoted the greater part of his talk to telling of the rotitenpess of the city government of Philadelphia. He is a pleasing speaker, and made a very favorable Impression upon his hearers. The attendance throughout the week was very large. Not less than ten thousand people were on the grounds on Wedperday, and on Thursday the altendance was considerably larger.
