DOVER, DEL, Sept. 80.
As telegraphed the GAZETTE there
were over ten thousand people on the
fair grounds 10 day, at least that was
the estimate Of number OF reliable
persons. They came from all paris of
| the State, eleven hundred arriving on
the two specials and the regular train
from this city, while like number ar
rived by railroad from lower Kent and
Sussex. The town Of Dover was al
most depopulated, while from every
part of Kent County the people focked
to the fair in vehicles of all descrip-
tions.
Al 2 O'Clock the fair presented an ami
mated appearance. The grand stand
was packed until the people there could
scarcely move. There we're at least $500
here. Along both sides OF the track, for
. sixth Of mile was solid line OF
eager humanity all the way from three
to dozen deep, while In front of the
stabbed other eager hundreds stood, anx-
iously waiting for the races. In fact,
every point that commanded q view Of
the track was crowded with people, who
swallowed the suff )cating dust and en-
dured the intense heat with a patient
endurance worthy Of better cause, for
the purpose OF witnessing number of
| horses trot twice around in an exciting
struggle to come out ahead. In addition
hundreds of people were on the ground
who never saw the races at all, but
roamed around the departments, wit.
Messing the exhibits and chatting with
friends, and enjoying themselves 10
their own particular ways to their heart's
| content.
