novrR, DEL, Sept. 81, 18S3.-To-day
,iinsed all previous days In point Of at
enaance. there being fully $4,000 people
% the grounds, more than haf the
,nmher coming by rail. Every train
~as M packed and several special trains
~sre reouired to bring the crowd. The
land @ stand was literally packed, while
Snndreds of people lined the fences on
Nth sides of the race course and Others
Dronepaded around the grounds visit.
rS | the various buildings where exhi-
bts it, were displayed.
u Considering the large number of per.
ons present, tho order was the best
prar @ Witnessed at an exhibition of this
ind But few persons were intoxi-
atrd and everything passed Oft nicely.
fhe only Inconvenience experienced by
he visitors was upon their return
,ome. The regular trains were packed ,
nd the specials were compelled to
tart before the appointed time on ac-
lmnt of the packed cars, and extra
rains had to be made up at the fair
rounds, so that 1t was nearly o'clock
efor re the last train pulled out, with all
N boa I'd tired and sleepy. When the
ast train arrived at Clayton, scene
the widest confusion ensued. Men,
;omen and boys ran hither and thither
\ their efforts to find the right train.
ome wanted to 20 down the Kent
onnty road, others by the Delaware
nd Chesapeake, and others into
myrna, and considerable time elapsed
pfore the respective trains were made
and the people all fixed.
During this delay the hotel at this
ciut did a rushing business, beer,
hsky, etc, disappearing down the
hroats of the thirsty like water down a
pt hole. After leaving here the Will
bipgton train met with no further de-
" until they arrived at Middletown,
here stop was made of ten minutes
br refreshments, and the restaurant
as soon cleared Of all eatables on hand,
al quite number were unable to pro-
llre anything until they arrived In
Wilmington about II o'clock.
