Time Made in the Two-year-oIds' Rae,
Aubertine Wins the s.e7 Trotting Rae
in Which six Heats are Necessary.
Seven thousand people were on til
grounds of the Wilmington Fair Asso
citation yesterday. The races were of tn
best character and were much enioyed
The judges have about finished tbei
work and awarded the premiums in al
departments. While the crowd was no
so large as on previous days yet tn,
grand stand was packed, and the Grove
saw the best side of every thing thai
happened. Several slight accidents oc-
CURED but there were none serious
Some of the exhibitors have begun to re
move their cattle from the grounds
The day was spent as most DAYS are
spent at the fair, that is, in quiet enjoy
ment. The people tired themselves out
ana as night came on they began to leave
early as storm was brewing. heavy
thunder shower came down but by that
time the people had managed to get un-
ger the shelter of the cars and come to
this city. ALI of them returned on the
80 o'clock train and 1t was crowded
one woman was seen to-day wearing
a white Dress which was perfectly
proper But when the adornments OF
the dress come into the question then
exception must be taken TO it,
First the woman had red hair, now
this also is correct. Second she wore a
bright, vivid, dazzling green sash.
Third, she wore broad red ribbon about
her neck Fourth she had a blue silk

parasol and black fan. Now ali these

dazzled the eyes and make ones head
ache. That girl was the attraction of
all eyes at the fair. She bought a gran J
| stand ticket and took a lower seat. SO
that the spectators could see that gor.
geous dress and the races witt out beiRg
uncomfortable
Two young women were seen attired
in the brightest of vivid red dresses. and
not content with this they carried red
parasols and wore red hats.
The dudes at the fair were picture to
gaze upon. One specimen Of this class Of
the "genus homo" was seen Yesterday at
maculate white trousers, black coat. high
silk hat, latest collar, cuffs and tie aud
patent leather shoes Now he appeared
the most bedraggled specimen Of
humanity possible to be seen. His cloth.
ing was dusty, dirty and soiled by grease
spots. His hat had been crushed on one
side by collision with gatepost. his
trousers were now dirty brown. with

hiscoat had been ripped on the shoulder
by being caught in merry 60 round
At last he swore at a colored man who
accidentally iostled him aud the latter
who was eating piece of blackberry pie,
took off the upper crust and laid Il On
chair Just as the crushed dude was sit
ting down in it. OF course he sat on the
pie and the laugh that went up shook
the main building. He had one of the
walters clean the pie off, brush his
clothing and when he had got himself il
fairly presentsble condition he took
the next train for Wilmington, vowinq
that he would never attend another fair
so long as he lived.
Privilege Ticket Cheating.
Some Of the owners of privilege tickets
have been working a neat little scheme
on the men who tend the gates leading
into the grand stand and judges stand.
They had been in the habit of taking the
ticket from the string to which it was
attached and showing the latter while
some friend entered on the ticket itself.
One of TIE gate keepers, however,
knocked the little racket in the head
yesterday afternoon. He had begun to
smell a rat, as so many people were
going in on privilege tickets. He saw
one man come in whom he suspected. The
man started to pass through the gate
and thought all danger was past when
the gate keeper suddenly called out, "Let
me see your ticket please" The man
placed his finger on the string in his
button hole and started to pass on, but
the officer would not allow him. and re-
peated his demand for the ticket. The
man fumbled about in his pocket for
while and then stammered out that he
had lost it, The keeper refused to let
him in without it. He Immediately
started to hunt up his friend who had
the ticket. He however, really had lost
it and the man is out ticket and cannot
now enter the grandstand as he is most
likely too shamefaced to ask the direc.
tors for another ticket
