man kept the roads from the city cloud
| Of dust all day. The numeYouH side
shows reRped harvest of niekels and
silver, and everyone was in good humor.
The exhibition buildings ware packed
with a slowly moving crowd that fingered
moment before each exhibit. The
cattle, horses, sheep and swine had thou
sands OF admirers and tho dogs proved
an irresistible attraction.
GETTING HOME.
About 4 o'clock the crowd began to
move slowly towards the gRies and take
trains, hacks aud carriages for home. II
was late before the last person left and
the w. Il N. railroad had all it could do
to handle its large quota. T;sin after
train backed into the packed platforms
and with one accord the crowds rnshed
for the cars. A train load was left after
every train, but the service far exceeded
that OF last year.
THE RAILROAD HOG.
II was splendid ohance for the rail-
road hog to get in his work, and he took
every advantage Of it. Women and chill
dren had no confederation ct his hands.
He pushed and showed, kept the women
back, and climbed into the cars and SO.
cured more than two.thirds of the seats
in each car, with no idea Of giving ne
mp TO tired woman. He growled, when
he had the best that was to be had and
even pushed women from the steps of
the cars SO that he could get on. Men
uoGupied two-tbirds OF the ses'B in every
crowded train that ran TO Wilmington.
Every one got in OF last, and the city
restaurants reapnd harvest from hungry
people who wanted supper.
