The 2 30 pacing race was noteworthy
event in many ways. Two records were
broken, and such pacing as the three
starters did is seldom seen in this locality.
In the third heat, Little Ida won in 2 221,
breaking the best record ever made on
this track In race. This record did mot
stand long, however, as in the next heat
Grover q. won in the excellent time of
2,20. The race was then postponed until
to morrow afternoon at ~ 80 o'clock, on
account OF darkness. Grover O. is the
fevotite, and considerable money is ct
stake. The summary:

but which more than one stop watoh
among the quarter stretoh crowd caught
at 49, Grover C.'s performance, how
ever, was SO remarkable. that its record

DIVER, Sept. 2S. This was the last day Of
the State fair, anu the attendance numbered
over 1900. Tho day opened bright and
clear, and soon after the fair gates opened
scores OF carriages laden with human
freight began plying into the srounds. The
attendance was soon increased by the
arrival OF excursion trains from both north
and south, and before Econ the grounds
were swarming with people.
The greatest attraction for the crowd was
tho basel bail match between Dover and
Smyrna, which was started about 0o'clock
Gu tbs presence OF about 5000 spectators,
Tho attendants at the fair apparently have

time made on the track WIS 2.20--Grover

baseball was probably that played between
Camden and Dover on Tuesday.
