FOURTH DAY OF THE FAIR.
The Attendance Yesterday Estimated by
the Managers at $4,000.
Altogether Satisfactory-Awards of Pre-
miums in the Different Departments.

canopy of murky clouds hung over Indian
apalis yesterday, and were a menace to the State
fair, but with the exception of a slight fall of
misty rain for few minutes during the after
noon. they lid nothing more harmful than to
obscure the sunshine from the sea OF humanity
that covered the Exposition grounds. 1t was
feared by the managers of the fair that the rain
fall during the previous night, which was much
heavier in the surrounding towns than in In
dianapolis, would deter many persons from
coming but notwithstanding the unfavorabe
weather, visitors began pouring into the grounds
in continual stream as early as o'clock The
trains over all the roads brought in crowds of
passengers. and by the streets in the central
part of the city were thronged The
usual means of transportatio proved
inadequate to the demands, and MANY were
compelled to walk out to the grounds The
ATTENDANCE it was claimed by the managers was
larger than ever before President Lockhart
estimated the crowd at 1000 persons and he
was in very happy spirits last night over the
unprecedented success Of the day. There were
nearly three bushels of tickets, which had been
taken III at the entrance, brought into the secre-
tary's office last evening at the close of the day.
The crowd was distributed over the entire
grounds, and every department was thronged
Every exhibit, no matter how insignificant had
its group OF spectators, and even the most
obscure peanut stand did prosperous business.
1t was great day for the fair people in every
way. The prospects fer equally large at
tendance during the continuance of the exposi-
tion are so encouraging that the managers have
decided to require all exhibitors to comply with
the rules. providing that no entry shall be with
drawn from the grounds before Saturday night
and everything will be kept in order. therefore,
for good show tomorrow Heretofore the
fair has practically ended on Friday night
because the work of moving exhibits began on
saturday morning, but the managers give the
assurance that the fair will be as good tomorrow
as on any day.
Although of an unwieldy size. the crowd yes
terday gave little trouble TO the police officers,
and no disturbances of serious nature occurred.
What was still more remarkable, there were no
cases of pocket-picking the grounds, so far as
known. and altogether the day passed off as
pleasantly and satisfactorily to the visitors as
could reasonably be desired.
THE RACES.
The most interesting feature of the day was
the racing, which at times rather exciting.
The running race, which was on the programme
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-10-02

Exit was withdrawn from the race before the
fourth heat was called.
In addition TO the conclusion or the fast pace
TO-DAY, there will be a stallion trot for a purse
of $3.50, freefor-all trot, for purse of 1920 and
probably a running race.
