The farmers certainly came to
the rescue in making the Fair a
success.
DIR. Goben came out yesterday
in handsome fall dress of gray
cashmere.
The cool rain Tuesday after
noon was reminder that summer
clothing was rather inconvenient.
"Will you take a bus?',he said as
they started for the races. "No,
indeed, it would make Mamma sui
KY"
The crowds are large, the music
is good and the air up to the pres
ent writing has been excruciating-
ly keen.
The Coral Cactus in a hangin g
basket over the pyramid of flow
ers in the Floral Hall was the ad-
miration of many.
The crowd at the Fair yester.
day was larger than any day this
week, and to-day q still larger
crowd is expected.
A beautiful crazy quilt, that
attracted much attention, was the
work of Ethel Picker, the little
daughter of S. NJ. Picker.

in Carothers d Greene's display in
machinery hall attracted universal
at tention and admiration.

day for the Fair and we may ex-
pect an enthusiastic audience,
especially when the races come
off.

an amount of work, which almost
seems marvellous, when the time
in which it was accomplished is
considered.

ence in riding out to the races in
q cushioned carriage and walking
home in the dust, and yet such has
been the case this week.
While it was raining Tuesday,
