TIE WORLDS HORSE FA1R.-The gentle
men having the supervision Of the Worlds
Horse Fair are making most astonishing prog-
reEs in their preparations, and will soon have
the grounds In complete readiness. Over two
t hundred stalls have been erected and comple-
ted, which, in addition to outside etalIs-as 1t
is not required Of exhibitors to keen their
horses upon the grounds-will be amply suf-
hcient to accommodate all.
The amphitheatre under the busy hands of
Mr. W. a. Reynolds, is rapidly approaching
completion. It is about fifteen hundred feet
loog, with twelve tiers Of seats, divided in the
centre BY ccmmodiouB music stand, directly
opposite the judges' stand. The admission to
the amphitheatre is to be low, SO that all eau
afford to secure Eeat- This amphitheatre
overlooks both the mile and ha1f-mile tracks.
and good view Of the starting and the coming
hoEe of fast horses is secured from all parts
Of the seats.
Directly at the points, where the mile and
halt mile tracks diverge from each other, 60
ing south, in the apex made by such diver
| gence, the judges and reporters stand is be-
ing erected. It is in position overlooking
both tracks, and enabling two committees to
operate, at the same time, with their respect
i've classes-one on each track. The snow
rlng Is also located here, inside the half mi1a
trick, so that both reporters and committees
can see all that is transpiring on the tracks
aud In the ring, from this stand In the rear
OF the ampMtheatre are the refreshment
Stands, systematically arranged, built after
specifications furnished by the euperiuten-
dent. They are equally distant from the am
phltheatre, and arranged with walk ten feet
wide, between each stand.
The most cheering assurances come in from
al quarters. Over thirteen hundred choice
horses arc already promised. Smith, the
"orklDg man OF the concern, is bending every
energy to make this Fair the grand feature of
the season, which, in despite Of the crisis, it
must prove.

large bundle under his arm, and was going at

had entered the house. Everything was in

tered a-out, letters opened, drawers pried
open, but very little property of value had
been taken. Next the fellow applied his lad
Ger to 11r. pozter's house, No. 554, but from
some reason did not enter.
