Der OF entries were made aud the FAR opeheu IN
earnest yesterday.
The officers Of the Association have laborod long
aud faithfully TO prepare for good and successful
Fair. The last years 3, ounds have been fitted up
with many improvements. On the west side Of
the trotlng course an excellent stand Of seats has
been built by Mr.. Hazen which will accommodate
one thousand persons. We say accommodate
Tor the seats are wide and spacious, have close
backs, and tight roof covers the whole. They
are The best seats we have seen at any Fair. The
seats are 100 feet long Under them is a convenient
ball where MIR. Lefingwell provides as good din
ners as any hotel need furnish.
Reporters are under special obligations to Mr..
j. S. Herrick for seats with desks provided upon
this stand opposite the Judges stand, as well as
for numerous names, papers &c, kindly furnished |
by him.
The track is well made, and well cared for. The |
heavy rain of Tuesday must have rendered any
track heavy, but well directed labor had made it
barely passabe yesterday.
