The Rain HAD Special Spite Against the
Ladies', but They Didnt Seem 10 Mind IL
GOOD Trotting aaa Good Pony Racing.
Politics wore not mixed up with the big
,umpkins at the Westchester fair yesterday
I'm, the rain was. 1t sprinkled and poured.
rnn down In bucketiuls and then slid down In
.hccts. It leaked through the genealogical.
horticultural. viucultural. agricultural tent in
fine streams.
II aid all IL could to spoil every bit Of sport
I, could reach. but It failed. The trotters
trottcd Just tho same. and tho ponies ran. and
through It oil the exhibits OF the horse show
wore made. In their classes tho ladies took
their part In spite OF the downpour. and rode
the jumpers or drove their traps Just as skilful-
lvns II several suns we're shining at once.
The attendance was not large: 1000 is q fair
estimate. Nearly all OF those were interested
IN the horse show and the pony racing. Tho
farmers waited for less threatening weather.
Tomorrow Is tho big day for the farmers
They will overflow the grounds then. and tho
main building and tho big fruit tent will be
,ammed all day.
Yesterday was to have been children's day,
hut tho threatening aspect Of the weather pre-
vented their attendance In any large numbers.
The fruit display Is best In the apple class
There is one variety Of apples called Cats
head, which has most remarkable color 1t
is brilliant blush pink. shading Oh into soft,
light yellow. Just as the pink does out OF
summer sunset. 1t gives them tho effect Of
porcelair. and one almost fancies that they nre
artificial. and would break II let drop.
No awards were made In any OF the exhibit
ton classes yesterday. The officers we're kept
busy oil the morning making the final prepara-
tons and getting everything In readiness for
the Judges to begin their work this morning
early.
The Judging Of the cattle will occupy consid-
cradle time. as the entries in all tho classes
arc very large. Samuel Gedney. 80 years old.
has about eighty head Of registered stock en-
tered and he is on hand rs spry and clipper
as he was half n century ago. looking after
their welfare and his own interests.
The racing was called at o'clock. with the
horse show exhibits going on in tho Unfold
back OF tho judges stand. William Kelys
bay gedng Monkey Roller won the free-for-
all trot after losing the first heat to William
Dineharts black marc Bush. The bay geld
ing Milton Oakland. owned by tho Altonwood
Stable Of Mumaroneck. took the three minute
trot in straight heats.
Between the trotting heats the ponies tried
conclusions George whitlock won the first
race with his bny Gclding The Crow. Little
Monarch. owned by l. L. Myers. ran away with
the prize In the second race. and William
Hayes with his chestnut stallion Carteret took
