The heavy rain storm of last night did
but little damage ut the fair ground.
The Judges stand was blown down and
it turned over two or three times before
it stopped in its mad race for first mon
cy. Two sections of fence were blown
down, and it was said that the gate ut
the main entrance was also blown over,
but later 1t was asccrtaincd that 1t was
knocked down by the force Of men who
were hurricdly making their way to the
ground about daylight to repair damage
caused by the wind. The light breeze
blew the clouds over, and by 10 o'clock
the sun shonc bright and warm, and the
indications were that the track would be
in fine condition by the time the races
we're called. Ilurst's furniture booth
was blown over by the storm, but it was
soon put in place.
The band boys were on hand, rs gay
and clipper as ever, and commenced to
discourse lively strains to cnlivcn those
who had already made their way to the
grounds.
Yesterday afternoon the attendance
was very good, considering it was the
first day. The grand stand was well
filled the ladies', as usual, turning out
in force. The interest in the races was
great and II good deal of money changed
hands.
