fear was dissipated when the sun came
out and bracing breeze sprang up yes
terday. The threatening sky and the
rain of the early morning, however,
probably kept down the attendance. 1t
was not quite up to that of the second
day of last years fair, but it was yet
good.
The sun and wind bettered the track
perceptibly by evening, and 1t looked at
dark as II It would be in perfect condi-
ton for to-day's speed events.
There was enough Of crowd on the
ground yesterday to comfortably fill the
buildings and line the quarter stretch
two or three deep. The grand stand
held good crowd at one time, and
there were great many more vehicles
in the quarter stretch than usual with
the attendance.
The work Of judging the live stock
was commenced and partly finished
yesterday. The stock show had its
share Of admirers, tho number OF coun-
try people on the grounds being large
in proportion to the whole attendance.
There are more visitors in the city from
a distance, also, than usually before the
biggest day OF the week. The hotels
are already full, and yesterday all the
restaurants did a rushing business. -,
Tomorrow, with good weather, will
be, in all probability, the greatest day
ever seen at a Wheeling fair. The Ohio
river railroad has made rate for the
round trip from Huntington OF g, with
correspondingly low rates from other
points on the route. The regular fair
from Huntington one way is So 40.
This unusual cut is expected to induce
all the people to come that the road is
able to carry.
To-day Is school children's day, and
aVl pupils Of the public schools will be
admitted for 20 cents EACH. Mr.. Jewell
will 90 up in his balloon again at 8
o'clock this afternoon.
Acting Mayor Jepson proclaims a
holiday for Thursday. On that day at
o a. m. the Ohio County Farmers In
stitute will meet in the grand stand.
No admission will be charged, and
everybody is invited by the officers to
attend this, the semi-annnal meeting.
The fakirs and wheels OF fortune were
pretty well patronized yesterday, con.
sidering the size Of the crowd. II all
who watched the balloon ascension had
paid money at the gate the attendance
would have been phenomenal. The
river front was lined with people, and
from every advantageous spot, house
tops, roofs Of cars and even up on the
hillside, thousands Of people saw MIR.

Two Races Come on In Spite of Some
Drawbacks.

Two Races Como on In Spite Of Some
r. Drawbacks.
Bob Anderson is superintendent Of
the speed ring, Joseph Wheeler, of De-
troit, is starter; 7. @. MOifat and D. H.
Darrah, judges; Charles Hancher,
timer, and George Sterling, clork. Mr..
Wheeler is said to be an expert starter,
and firm enough for any OF them.
While his work yesterday did not i'm
press ono with his brilliant ability, it is
but fair to say for him that the track
was SO muddy next the pole that the
available spacewas smuch circumscribed,
and it was nobody's fault that 1t was
hard to got a good start.
The first event was trot for three
year-olds and under for $500. The en-
tries were May Day, a bay mare belong
ing to j. II. Willis, Of Bridgeport, w.
Va; Bonnie Bon, q bay gelding, entered
by x. NJ. Hamilton, this city; Lucie W.,
BY Walter Craig & Son, OF CRdiz, Ohio,
and Rhoda MeGregor, by I. A. Miller,
of Bancroft, Pa. Lucie was drawn,
leaving but three starters. Rhoda was
a big favorite on the start. The first
heat was started with somo difficulty,
and was tame, Rhoda taking the lead
and keeping it, and slowing up at the
wire TO keep from distancing her com:
petitors. She made 1t in 2:50, and the
pools paid only $3.50.
There was the usual scoring and
sponging Of mouths preliminary to the
second heat. Finally they got away,
and Rhoda Immediately went Off her
feet, and behaved badly all the way
round, letting Bonnie. take the lead.
May Day followed close, while Rhoda
was far In the rear. On the last quarter
Bonnie broke, and May forged ahead.
There was a pretty struggle till the
finish, and May took the heat in 2:52
Those who had the right tickets pulled
so 20 out Of the pools.
When the third heat was trotted there
was an outside horse exercising on the
track. His driver evidently thought he
could get out OF the road in time to
avoid Interfering with the race. Rhoda
led, with May and Bon in good order
till near the wire, when Bonnie went of
and ran badly till the finish. This
was the fastest heat the time being
2;4Ta.
In the next Rhoha had 1t her own
way again. There was q pretty contest
for second place till May began to jump,
and there seemed for time danger

DELIGnrED GERMANS.


How the Removal of tho Embargo on
American Pork is Regarded.
PARIS, Sept. s.-The Temps to-day
says that the decree of Germany re-
moving the embargo placed upon
American pork is veritable coup dc
theatre, astonishing the American
party, who believed in the axiom that
the government would never withdraw
the prohibition. The progressists are
intoxicated with their success, their
leading delusion being that free Ameri-
can pork means free grain in the near
future. "The German-American accord
will conduce to results affecting general
commercial relations, France must
watch this movement. The German
government hopes through the pork
concession to ward off the worst effects
Of the Mckinley bill. 1t is certain,
however, that this is true coup de for
tune for the Republican party and for
President Harrison's government"

CoLUMBus, Ono, Sept. s,-A mock cleo
ton was held here to test the new
Australian ballot system, and the result
was quite startling. While the system
has been well explained and is quite
simple, large proportion OF the voters
have not clear understanding of it.
Only the more intelligent class tried it,
but the count showed that OF 9S ballots
cast SO only were correct. THIS means
that II ballots, or 10 per cent OF the
votes cast by tho intelligent class OF
people. were illegal. The common mis-
take was the placing Of tho cross at the
head of the list OF representatives. in
stead of for each,one. Similar mistakes
were common all through. Another
mock election was held tonight. The
party committees have q hard nut to
crack to keep this system in vogue.

THE BALLOON AscENsIoN
And Parachute Jump ono of the Finest
Ever Seen.

Ever seons
The reputation Of the lowell Bros, of
New Jersey, drew good many to see
one Of them go up at least 1900 feet in
balloon and then come down on q
parachute. He did it. A prettier or
more successful ascension and fall were
never seen.
The balloon was inflated without
serious accident. One of the heavy
poles put up to support huge sail to
protect the balloon from the brisk
breeze blowing, fell, narrowly escaping
the heads OF several people in the crowd
about the balloon. Fortunately no
damage was done.
A little later the oil used on the fire
blazed out and ignited the oil in the tub
near the mouth Of the furnace. This in
turn caught the cans and there was q
bright-indeed brilliant-promlse OF o
serious explosion, but the aeronaut did
not seem to mind little thing like
that. The flames were extinguished.

There were twelve entries for the
second race, the 2:50 trot for $i0O.
schmulbach & Parks bay, Parkyille,
and Bad Actor, bay gelding belonging
to Frank E. Williams, OF st. Clairsvllle,
were drawn, leaving ten starters. Lady
II. was the favorite in the betting.
While the horses were scoring for the
start there was considerable excitement
over the balloon and on the track. Dick
Turpin fell, throwing his driver out,
but he was gotten up all right. 1t was
over half an hour after the horses were
on the track before the word go was
given, just as the big balloon flew
heavenward. 1t was easy for Lady NJ.
until the last quarter, when Bamboo
made 1t little exciting. The time was
2:SE4.
On the second heat the horses went
after three or four efforts, and in nice
bunch. Bamboo led, with Lady n.
close. Larry crept up 'on her, but
broke, and Bamboo kept the lead, TAX
ing the heat In 2:34f.
While the horses were scoring for the
next heat child in carriage asked in
o petulant voice audible all over the
vicinity: "Papa, when arc they going to
raceT They scored awhile and then
rested, and then scored some more.
Finally they got off, Bamboo again
leading. Jimmie O. was o close second.
He broke soon after the start, but re-
covered remarkably quick. There was
q pretty good tussel for second place,
and several times three OF the horses
were punched and made pretty races,
but one of them always broke at tho
most interesting moment. At the be-
ginning Of the last quarter it looked as
ii Bamboo would distance them all, and
a horseman shouted, "Shut 'em all
outp Another yelled: "No, don't do
it, jim" The driver took the latter's
advice. Time, 2;S5.
In the fourth and last heat Bamboo
again led, with tho others in close
bunch. Marquette was second, but
Monte Christie passed him; then went
off his feet, but caught quickly again.
Lady NJ, was back with the baggage for
q short distance, but gained one point
There were four Of them neck and neck
for second place for good stretch. The
time in this heat was the same as in the
third.

A PARTIAL FAILURE.
nIelbourne's Rain Test Not as Successful as

AAtAAh AusS SNSe Ao SNSSSs-@'-9s--
Hoped for.
CHEYENNE, WYo., Sept. s.-Mel-
bourne's second rain producing test has
proved a partial failure. Yesterday
morning a light shower fell but the sig
nal officer here decided it to be q nat
urai rain and not due to Melbourne's
effort. In the afternoon angry looking
clouds circled the town and the ele-
ments seemed unnatural. Gusts OF al
ternating hot and cold winds swept
through the streets and occasionally
small showers Of rain fell, not enough,
however, to Justify the commission In
charge to pronounce the test successful.
Melbourne is exhausted by his long
vigil in his barn. He will leave here
soon for Salt Lake City, where he has q
contract to make rain.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s.-Judge Lo-

evening. He had been much better
during the day, and was deemed con
valescent. Suddenly he was seized with
q fit Of coughing and died before q doc

was capillary bronchitis, from which he
has been confined to his bed for ten
days. Judge Sawyer was born in Jeier-
