1U-auulINM 10 DonOOA Joy
The Federal Court officials took in the
racss.
There ought to be a new gong at the
Judges stand.
Look out for the largest crowd, to-day,
ever seen on the grounds.
The police say they never saw so little
disorder in go large crowd.
The weather must have been especially
ordered. 1t could not be better.
It isa pity the tandem race want q 60, on
Tuesday. 1t would have been great.
The presence Of so many strangers made
the city unusually lively, last evening
At one time, yesterday afternoon, there
we're nearly four thousand people in the
grand stand.
The various sorts of wheels seem to have
taken the place Of the whirligig Of the
'jswelry" takers.
Four great races, trOt against time,
and the fnish OF yesterdays running
race, IS the programme for to-day.
The privilege men generally are doing
great business, and say the Fair is one OF
the best they have attended this year.
There would have been another book
maker in operation yesterday, could he
have obtained room to open up his bust
ness.
There is a great waste Of printed matter
about the grounds. Tens of thousands Of
circulars, of all colOrs and sizes, litter the
grass and WALKS.
The reporters had several agreeable call
ers, yesterday, among the gentlemen being
Captain John M. Sweeney, Senator N. B.
Scott and c. S. Howell, Of the Baltimore
and Ohio road.
Friday will be Children's Day at the
State Fair, and the public schools will be
closed for the day. All school children
will be admitted for twenty cents. Tickets
will be sold at the Office on the grounds.
1t seems it was ]. G. Muth, of Bellaire,
and not Mr.. Booth, who did not appear in
one of Tuesdays bicycle races. He was
ruled out on the ground that he was pro-
fessioDal rider, but was on hand TO enter,
had he been permitted.
It is very likely the bicycle people will
get regular track, with three laps to the
mile It is recognized that the wheel
races are appreciated By the people. 1t is
certainly as exciting as n horse race to see
the men bend over to their work.
Indian Tom, the noble Red Man, who
sets of Mr.. Henry Seamon's cigar and TO-
| bscco exhibit, knocked man down, yes
terday afternoon, and then disappeared.
/ He was arrested last evening by Officer
Watson and taken to the City Hall.
Although the bicycle race judges de-
oided the claim of foul in favor of Mr..
Stevenson, the winner, there is some
doubt as to whether he will sccept the
medal. but will offer to contest again
with Mr.. Grubler. The judges gave the
matter very full investigation.
1t was little short Of astonishing the
way people raid the eating booths about
noon, and at six O'Clock. Thousands oi
meals were served on the grounds, yester.
day, and they were good meals, too. The
walters and cooks say there are two dis.
tinguishing features about their patrons
they have big appetites, and eat as though
they wanted to catch train.
