attendance was very large. Early in the
morning the people began to come in large
numbers and by the middle of the afternoon
a great crowd was on hand. The weather
was all that could be desired, but there was Q
great drawback to the comfort and pleasure

under the tramp OF the multitude and The
hoofs OF the horses' rose In uense clouds all
over the grounds, enveloplng everything as
in log and at the closing every one came
out completely covered win H. we nave
seen dust before but never anything ike
