hrst. 1t did not rain and although the sky
was overcast and threatening, about thou
sand people turned out to in the afternoon
to see the races.
In the morning things were rather dull
there being but few visitors, but the exhibitt
were in much better order, although tht
agricultural machinery men have not vel
got Strengthened up, and there was 6ut
little stock In.
EXHIBITS.
The exhibits In the ladies' building were
In the best order. The number of SAMPLES
of canned and preserved fruits and of iellies
was legion, and it would take a column to
name the exhibitors. Among the notice
able exhibits in fancy work is that of Mrs.
u. Young of Dover-an afghan and fancy
trimmings. The display of cut flowers and
Towering plants was good. One of the
most noticeable exhibits in the building was
that OF Mr.. j. Frank Alice of Dover, who
exhibited very fine aesortmentof watches
and lewelry and silver and plated ware.
The Wheeler 81 Wilson Sewing Machine
company made good display of their
machines and work las did also the Domestic
Company. The display OF plaques and wood
work by d. II. Treat & Co. of Georgetown
Is very good one and attracts much atten-
ton.
The display of pastry made by Mrs. John
A. Voshell or Dover Is worthy of especial
mention, as is also that of Mrs. P. Spruance
Of Smyrna.
In the display of carriages this fair goes
ahead. The carriage building is full, one
wing of the cereal building full, and lot
OF carriages waiting around for place.
Among the noticeable displays is that of
McLear 81 Kendall of Wilmington, end
spring, side bar, and jump seat carriages.
phetons, very handy covered wagon, etc.
Garrett u Furry of Wilmington show a very
fine shooting and general utility wagon, the
workmanship on which is very fine. They
also show fine end spring, and fine side
bar carriage. Rice 81 White of Wilmington
also display end spring and side bar car
riages. Beckett d Mackcy of Smyrna made
good display Of end spring, side bar, jump
seat and two seat carriages. By far the
most extensive display is that of w. R.
Cahoon & Son of Dover, who show great
number of carriages and spring and side bar
wagons, jump seats, phetons of various
styles, two seat carriages, etc.
The cereal building is really only nomi-
nally such, large number of other exhibits
having almost crowded the cereals into one
corner. One of the best exhibits in this
building is that of G. L. Jones g. Co. OF
Dover, who exhibit number of specimens
of can-makers' tools and machinists acces-
saries which they manufacture. @. c.
Coolbaugh OF Viola, exhibits shash, doors
and mantels, and j. r, Jones & Bro, Dover,
stoves, heaters, etc. The centre piece OF
the cructorm building Is huge pyramid of
horse and cattle powders and poultry
powders, in boxes, the exhibit of Clarke &
Mcdaniel, Dover,
The exhibit of cereals, while scarcely so
fine as usual, is good. The exhibit of grain,
especially wheat, is superior to any the fair
ever had,
THE RACES,
The track was rather heavy, though not
at all muddy, to-day when the races were
started and did not improve much, which
will account for the generally slow time.
The races which were fairly interesting were
as follows
SPECIAL PURSE, PENINSULA HORSES.
The start in the first heat in this race was
rather struggling. Dandy B took the pole
on the turn, but could not stay there, being
passed by Butcher Boy and Billy on the
back stretch, which two horses made very
pretty race all the way around, but Billy
outfooted his opponent on the home stretch
and ran the heat In 3.03L.
The second heat in this race changed the |
appearance of things a little. The three |
first horses got off evenly, but ON the back |
stretch Bill broke and Butcher Boy took the |
lead, but he was quickly collared and passed |
by Minnie B., who was never again headed, |
winning the heat In 3.011.
The third heat, while 1t was walk over
for Minnie B., who was never headed from
wire to wire, was made very interesting by |
the strupple for second place which was
finally secured by Butcher Boy. Time, 2.59L |
The fourth heat was a procession with
Minnie B at the head, the only horse that
was able to stay near her being Susie g.,
who came good second Time, s.02K.
