The Fair.

staples was early at the grounds ana de-
clared postponed all races, the track being
sodden and beyond hope of such speedy
Improvement as TO admit OF the horses go
ing, until at least full twenty-four hours
later. Mr.. Staples announced that the
gates should be thrown wide open and free
admission given TO all people arriving. and
though the portals We're more than ajar all
day long, yet the number who took advan-
taSe of even the deadhead privilege was
light. The wind had shifted from its
dreaded easterly point, but the weather re-
manned threatening; there were absolutely
no legitimate attractions on the grounds;
the main exhibition hall remained closed to
the general run of people; even the big side
show was voiceleSS, and the usual local
brass band failed to
LEND ITS ENCOURAGEMENT.
Later in the afternoon the grounds be-
came somewhat more lively. but visitors
found the main attractions At the wheel-of
fortune tent, the target and the beer booths
Though, as stated, admission 10 the grounds
was free, few of the Stillwaters Staid and
sober Old-timers paid something for the
whistle. About the noon hour a very flip
young man, 4 stranger here, stationed him
self at the main entrance and for an
hour announced TO all in-cOmers that
he was acting as deputy while the regular
man was at dinner, and that he collected
toll from number of gentleman, the two
eldest citizens and cuteSt men being Thomas
Roney and L. L. NOTthey. The former is
likewise an exhibitor, and his application at
the secretary's Office for a pass would have
been honored on any day. Should to-day
prove favorable as regards the weather
the racing will probably present more of
genuine interest than anything in the sport
ing line that ever occurred on the grounds.
