a finer day or track could not have been
desired than that of yesterday at tho national
fair grounds. A throng variously estimated

ladies and handsome Cquipagos packed ten
deep behind them making picture not TO be
excollod. The grand stand was packed TO its
fullest limit, tho quarter-stretch was all
hustle, and down the fence on both sides of
the track nothing but q sea Of faces was
disoernible. In such crowd accidents must
be expected, but beyond tho breaking of u
section of fence In front Of the main building
