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.

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.
