BIG CROWDS AT THE FAIR.
From yesterdays Every Evening.
The fair is in full swing this morning.
The bright clear weather has put everyone
in the best of humor. All are busy and
the grounds represent an immense hive of
industry. Visitors are coming in from
every direction, the farming element
especially Ii would not be a matter of
very great surprise If we had 5000 visitors
to-day. Large crowds are trooping in by
each w. ~ n railroad arrival. Superin-
endent McCauseland is busily overlooking
everything and the coming and the going
of the trains proceed like clock-work.
The bright warm sun has taken the chill
off the -cool morning air, and this is a
regular pet day. There is not Il cloud in
the sky.
Horsemen are jubilant. The track could
not possibly be in finer condition, dry
skin deep, and cool and elastic underneath
to the exact degree needed. Flags are fly
ing in every direction, bands playing,
fakirs crying their most seductive walls,
the show tents are crowded, and everything
is booming in the best old-fashioned way.
There will be another balloon ascent at 3
o'clock this afternoon. This is in contra
diction of yesterdays arrangement which
was otherwise.
