Ten Thousand Women Floundering in
the Mud and Rain.

Never, says tho st. Louis Democrat was
there such scene in the wide world as that
witnessed ON Friday afternoon last, on the
Fair Ground. Never were so many white
and black, old and young, tall and small,
beautiful and bad-looking ladies in such
terrible dilemma. The day opened propi-
tiously, with clouded sky that tthreatencd
no rain, aud cool brcezes that were without
amy admixture of dust OF smoke. The city
poured forth her thousands, with all their
country relations and visitors, and by one
o'clock r. NJ, the Fair Ground conld not
have contained less than twenty-five thou
sand people. a little shower that passed
over about eleven o'clock excited but small
surprise, aud did not interfere in the least
with the pleasures of the day. About a
O'Clock another driazle came on, which was
chiefly instrumental in driving to shelter
the hundreds of groups that were fakine
their picnic dinners out among the trees
and OH the green grass.
Th" afternoon exhibitions were inaugu-
rated with great spirit, tic scenes Of the
ring being witnessed by . dcnsely crowded
amphitheatre, containing not less than from
fifteen to twenty thousand persons. While
the contest between the roadsters was stih
going ON, another drizzle passed over, which
was soon succeeded by dashing thunder
