TURK 5 DINING HALL

yesterday; and, Judging from the ample
preparations made, and the fine bill of fare /
laid before those participating, hundreds
and thousands will drop in and enjoy a fine

doubt not the visitors at the Fair will not
fail to call and partake Of the rich provision
made for the inner man by our friend Turk
of the Dinner Hall, as he has spared neither
labor nor expense, and we hope he will be
literally patronized.

THE HURDLE RACE TO-DAY.
The great hurdle race comes off at II /
o'clock TODAY. and it promises to be an |
interesting affair. There will be two hurdles |
three feet high placed at an equal distance |
upon the half mile track. The following |
are the rules for the government Of the |
race:
Rule |. Each contestant shall be required |
to make the mile in 2:20 or less.
? Each contestant shall be allowed one |
or more trials as the Judges may deem |
requisite to determine the premium
3 Should any contestant pass around |
any hurdle he shall be deemed distanced
L. Should any contestant not make
his required time he shall be distanced
s. The contestant making the mile in
the shortest time and getting over the hur-
dies in the best style shall be awarded the
premium
6. The striking or knocking down of
hurdle or the fall of the rider shall be con
sidered and counted against the contestant |
in the proportion that the Judges may |
deem it for the want of elegant riding or |
skillful management of the horse.
THE TRAIN ACCOMMODATIONS.
Trains leave the Chattanooga depot for |
the Fair every half hour, and we are glad
to see that the enterprise is literally pa
tronized The officers of the company
have been giving the Fair trains their per
sonal attention, and the care and precau-
ton used to prevent accidents is worthy of
all commentator. 1t was not the Fair
