Between 1000 and 5000 people visited
Wilmington fair Friday, but their en-
toyment OF the attractions offered by the
management was seriously intertered with
by wind and rain. At 2 O'Clock the sun
WAS shining and only q good breeze pre-
vented the heat from becoming almost un-
bearable. But omtnous.looging clouds
were gathering In the western and northern
horizon, and many tiunid people LEFT this
grounds, fearing that a terrific storm would
arise.
by 8 O'Clock heavy black clouds cbscured
the sky to the north and west. Some OF
them presented curious and fantastic
shapes, and recolectlons OF last years cy-
clone made people even more apprehen-
sive, still everything was lovely at IL val
Dell and the southern horizon was clear
Soon oomnotion among tho clouds was
visible and Wilmington which stands out
In such bold view from the fair grounds,
was entirely obscured by heavy clouds OF
dust that told how the wind wss sweeping
through the streets of the city.
But the violence OF tha storm was ex-
pended before II reached HazAl Dali. The
wind increased, and little rain fell, but
all danger OF a heavy storm was soon over
nary spurts rain bAgRn falling about AIS
O'Clock and continued steadily until after g.
The people VINO had not left the grounds
Keadily found shelter In the grand stand
and the different buildings and nobody SUI
fered any great Inconvenience. Despite
the rain and consequently heavy track
the racing events on the programme, with
the exception OF the gentlemen'S double
team contest, were finished.

straight heats. After the first heat the
driver OF Peter Milestone was fined IS for
