The Ulster Co. Fair, at Ellenville

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

and Friday August 27, 28, 29 and 30.

(On the Ellenville Driving Park)

It is now past speculation that the exhibition to be given at the Ulster County Fair on the picturesque grounds and fine track of the Ellenville Driving Park, on the dates above named, will

surpass in extent and variety of attractions any exhibition heretofore made under the auspices

of the society.

The inducements offered for entries in the various departments are far more liberal than

ever before, and the list of entries shows a lively appreciation of this fact. Those who attend may

be in each department keen competition for the increased value in prizes which the managers

have been enabled to proffer, the state money, having exceeded the allowance of former years.

In the several classes of stock, fruits, grains, vegetables, poultry, implements, vehicles, machinery, inventions, dairy, culinary, floral, art, domestic and fancy goods, school work and numerous other features, entries promise to fully tax the largely increased facilities for display.

All the customary forms of entertainment will contribute in the pleasure and instruction of visitors. Punch and Judy will be there, with the Ferris wheel, the gay merry-go-round, and a long list of devices for gratifying the natural craving of old and young for amusements. Prof. Allen, the famous Rochester aeronaut, will make daily ascensions and cut himself adrift among the clouds for a thrilling descent with his parachute. The second day will witness a floral coaching parade in which we are assured a surprise will be presented even for those who have witnessed the former exhibitions, several novelties being prepared with large outlay of ingenuity and labor. The management have afloat in preparation at great cost — but which, however, is debarred from competition for any of the prizes for which the society has put up some $1,500 in cash.

To gratify the large number that are fond of witnessing speed exhibitions there will be races on Thursday and Friday. It is understood however that there are to be so conducted as not to interfere with the full enjoyment of other features of the fair. For details see advertisement in another column, which contains announcements of special features which we have not here alluded to.

On Tuesday, the 27th, all children of school age will be entitled to free admission. Music will be furnished each day, by Clayton’s Military Band.
