the fair besieged by all kinds of visitors from
the eiir of the neighboring districts down to the
lager beer, candy and peanut vendors.

their hats and bidding him cordial welcome. After
alighting from his seat in the carriage,
the General was taken to the judges stand Here
he had o good view OF the racing, in which he
seemed to be greatly Interested. When asked by

piled, .'very well, indeed. This is q beautiful
place for trying horses, and on the whole
there seems TO be very good trotting." This place
