conclusion, was attractive. A larger
number of ladies were present in the
stand. and in private conveyances than
on any previous day during the meet
ing. Their presence in summer costume
helped much to enliYen the proceedings.
Gov. Merriam was on hand to see his
pet. J B !, get beaten by Dave Clough's
