noon with great force just as the trotting was
about to commence at the Park, necessitating a
postpoiiement. There was an immense crowd
in attendance, there being at least three thou
sand persons on the grand stand, and all beat a
hasty retreat. Coaches and conveyances of
every kind were in demand. The drivers of
these vehicles reaped harvest as they charged
dollar seat for driving passengers in, while
the fare out was but twenty-five cents There
is much indignation at the extortion, but as
charges here are not regulated by law there was
no remedy for it. The forenoon was devoted to
an exhibition of prize stock, horses, &C., and
there was fine show of first class animals.
The attendance at the halls to-day has been
very large, and numerous additions have been
made to the display in all the departments
