RAYS OF SUNSHINE.
Shortly after noon the clouds began to break
away and by one o'clock there was not only
fair weather but promise of continuance OF
the same during the balance of the week.
Every one who had anything to do with the
fair, whether as officer or exhibitor, took heart
of grace. and it was astonishing what change
q little sunshine effected in the words and ac-
tions of all. By two o'clock everybody had
forgotten there ever was rain, and all bent
for the balance of the week. True, the
attendance was light throughout the day, but
there are unmistakeable symptoms that to-
morrow the visitors will begin to arrive by the
thousands.

THE RACES.
The rains had rendered the race track
very heavy, and at one time
a postponemeut was decided upon.
But the bright sun and wind dried the track
very fast and the managers concluded to carry
out the programme. The first exhibition on
the track was that of carriage teams, for which
there were five entries. The first premium, o
of Rochester, a pair of dark bay geldings, g.
year-olds, by Western Chief. The second pre-
MUM went to Dexter Curtis, of Wisconsin.
The three-minute race for purse of $200,
divided, best three in five, was called at 8 p.
IL. The judges were NJ. P. Wilkinson, of
Wells; Geo. w. Sherwood, of Rushford, and
j. W. Stiles, of Decorah, Iowa. The
entries were given in the GLOBE yesterday.
In many respects the race was an interesting
one and considering the state of the track the
time made was better than was expected. There
was no jockeying end in neither heat did the
horses score more than twice. The frat heat
vas won by Hattie ", Peter Farley second,
Almond Boy third, Cap Capron fourth aud
Richard B. distanced. Time 2:4l.
The second heat was taken by Peter Farley,
Almond Boy second, Hattie V. third, Gap Ca p
ron fourth. Time 2:45.
The next two heats and the race was won
by Hattie V. Time 2:4l and
2:4214. Hattie was the favorite in the pools,
selling two to one. Almond Bay took third
money, but could have done much better but
for the heavy track. Richard r was badly
handled.
This evening the streets are alive with peo-
pie and the sounds of rejoicing are heard on
every hand. All are anticipating big day to-
morrow.
