SECOND DAY.

The storm which had been brewing for
several days and which had been forecast by
successive big fogs broke over Us on Wednes-
day evening in heavy rain, continuing with
increased violence, all day Thursday. Hopes
were at first entertained that it would clear
up, but it soon became evident that it had set
in for a whole days rain. Hacks were
brought out and some feeble attempts made
to get up some enthusiasm, but it was Of no
use the rain came down too fast and it be-
came only too apparent that the fair was at a
stand still for that day. Certainly there
could be no trotting. Yeti Notwithstanding
the storm quite number Of people went to
the grounds and the various buildings were
filed with spsctators-both ladies and gen.
tlemen. The band went out just before noon
but soon returned and the attempt was aban-
doned for the day.
FRIDAY.
The storm having cleared away in the night
the sun rose clear and bright, betokening q
fine day. Soon the people began to pour into
town from every quarter, and it became evil
dent that big time was at hand. All morn
ing hacks and carriages streamed out from
Middletown freighted with passengers. Hum
dreds came from both ways on the cars, and
it was early evident that the day would be
one of the grandest that the Fair had yet had.
The rain had not injured the exhibits to q
very great extent, and every thing was speed
lily put in order again.
Precisely at O'Clock the bell was struck
and the horses called for the first race, which
was No 4, of the programme, in 3. Three
horses started, of which Elisha Hitler, E. q.
Thomas horse was distanced on 6rst heat.
The race was won in two consecutive heats
by q DaYidson's g Rather. Time, a:O33,
2:O24.

was won BY HI Smiths g Grey Eagle in

rams m Lizzie third.
THIRD RAcE.-This race was delayed on
account of a dispute about the time which
Peter Nance, of Jersey City, New Jersey, en-
tered his mare Rose Medium, the other dri-
yer having protested against her. At length
the patience of the spectators became exhaust
ed, and loud calls were made for the horses
to start, with much Clapplng and stamping Of
feet. Finally decision Of the case was
reached, and the mare was allowed to tTOt.

The Br.dssv,llo ..Fair.'T


A correspondent Of the E0Ty Evening and
Commercial handles the Bridgevills "Fair"
rather roughly. II his account Of it be true
It was mighty poor affair. This is what he
says of it:
Let the truth be told. The advertisement
of what was to be seen at the Bridgeville fair
was answered on the last day by three hun
dred or four hundred persons, nearly double
the number of any previous day. Without
going into particulars, everybody that was
there will bear testimony that it was the most
miserable affair ever palmed of. The poul-
try exhibition comprised one old goose Of
about five pounds weight, and four very COM
mon chickens shut up in an old dry goods
box. don't think there was either sheep
or hog on the ground, while the stables Of
any good farmer or Northwest Fork could
have beaten the entire attempt at display of
horses and cattle. The racing was done BY
four horses, paid out of the gate money, and
every race was fixed up beforehand, the fast
est horse winning in no instance. 1t was
difficult to tell whether there would be any
trOtting; there were no programmes and the
officers seemed to know nothing. found
that the better class Of the people took no in
terest in it, and that the association was run
BY a set of jockeys, who have so completely
run it to ruin that the grounds should at
once be given to the plow. Such, too, |
hear, is about the condition Of things at
Laurel.
