they had been Withdrawn for investigation
! by some of the judges to make some correc.
tions, and they can not be had. Every
possible effort has been made to get these
: entries, and they will all appear as soon as
everything can be adjusted. We got D..
vision B this rorning; Division A was not
, completed, and now they are all wi thdrawn
, for the present.
AT l:3O p. NJ. the galleries were filed
principally with ladies and children, and
many more are crowding in unable to find
seats. The band contest that was to have
taken place at l o'clock, is delayed in con.
sequence of one of the bands failing to ar
rive.
AT o'clock the horses were again
brought ont, and paraded on the track, in
the presence OF the largest crowd ever on
the fair grounds. A fine jackass was in the
parade. We heard several young ones
bray that did not enter the contest for the
premium, some of them surely would have
got prizes if they had feen listed in the
competition.
Leaving the grand stand we visited the
pavilion and here found it thronged with
busy sight-seers. To-day the grounds
around the pavilion were sprinkled down.
