MISCELLANEOUS ATTRACTIONS.
The man with the striking machine was
there, as was also the electric battery man
Numerous swings and q monster flying
horse kept the youngsters happy, and the
beer stands and chance games gave the
older heads a chance to blow in their hard
earned wealth. One man sold the
unwary ones o cent lead pen
ell for a dime. and gave him in connection a
chance to draw a pair of brass cuff buttons.
A three card monte man got In his work
near the south entrance, but was scared
over the fence before he amassed g fortune.
As may be supposed, the conglomeration OF
~nationalities and races, in connection with
the unsparing use of beer as a thirst
auencher, had q tendency to create dis
turbances innumerable. Before the ball
game got fairly under way, two knock
downs had occurred about the diamond,
and the participants were escorted off the
grounds by the police. About three
o'clock two young men became
INVOLVED IN A QUARREL
and. created considerable excitement by
the display of ugly looking knives. They
were parted by the crowd, however, before
their sword play damaged any one to a
further. extent than the cutting of a new
coat. Towards evening squabbles became
very numerous, and n might be seen in
progress anywhere, and at almost any time.
One particularly funny snap was a young
lady and two young men trying to get
away from the crowd so that the boys
might settle a dispute u~ndisturbed. The
Girl pleaded with them to discontinue the
quarrel but to no avail, and the presence
of a cop was necessary to prove to them
that they had nothing ''agin" one an
other.
In the afternoon Mr.. Herman Asmus
and Miss Annie McEntee were driving on
the race track in a buggy, and in attempt
ing to leave the track the horse, a small
black fiery animal, became frightened and
ran off, turning the buggy on its side and
Throwing THE OCCUPANTS OUT.
The horse ran down the path outside the
track toward the grand stand, creating a
panic among the pedestrians, and tearing
the buggy almost to pieces. He was thrown
down by the broken shafts and tangled
harness, and caught bya colored man, who
deserved q medal for his bravery. Neither
| Mr.. Asmus or Miss McEntee suffered Sc
we're injury from the accident, although
the escape was very narrow.
