The weather yesterday was more favorable thar
it was either OF the preceding days. yet it coald
not be called good. Several times there were
slight showers of rain, and visitors were compelled
to seek shelter in the various buildings. The
grounds are, however, in a much improved condi
ton, and if the weather should be fair to-day there
will be but little mud If no more rain falls or al
least not sufficient amount to soften the track
more than it was yesterday evening, the trial:
of speed, which postponed, will take place in
the afternoon. The citizens purse of three hun.
dred dollars will be rotted for in the latter part OF

either Tuesday or Wednesday, but was not as good
expected. There were between five hun.
dred and a thousand vsi tors, many of whom were
| ladies.

place about noon. The exhibition was very fne
and the competition animated. The premiums
