,reni During the entire day Yesterday
the main building was crowded with Wis
litors. the grounds were equally tbronged
with people, and wherever any kind of
amusement stand, shooting gallery OF
side-show was located crowds Of persons
were TO be found. The swiich.bsck was
literally pa,ronized by ladies, gentemen
and children, and the toboggan slide also
continues 10 attract the attention OF the
boys
The mepsgeries are visited daily by
thousands of persons. many Of whom
find 1t necessary TO ask the names OF the
snimals on exhibition, some Of which are
found within few miles of the city.

the day, could be seen about two hundred
vehicles going to and fro IN theEyposition,
carrying all the passengers that could be
seated The Coney Island cars made
connections with the street cars at the
corner of Harrison and Broad streets
with an intermission OF about ten min
uies They claim TO mske trip every
three minutes. but 1t Is seldom ever made

on yesterday, and on every trip the
crowds on the grounds cOUld be seen 10
increase. Besides the many conyeyanc,s
that delivered people al the grounds

THE TINES TIPS.
In the first race We like Romp to win'
with Mute second In the second race
we expect Valet TO win, with Boaz for
Mace. In the third Boccaccio should win,
and Wild Cherry will likely get second
money
In the third race Boccsccio should win
the mile aud one-eighth with Wild Cherry
second
II will b. observed by our readers that
