thousand or more people who had
been within the fair grounds gates,

do is to straighten matters up, and

Big Thursday Is the day of all days.
1t is the one day which seems fashion,

jam and jostling seems to make no diff

The crowds Thursday came early
The country folk drove In soon In the
morning and hitched their horses
about the grounds for the day. Then
the people from Millville, and out on
the pike crowded over, and helped
swell the numbers. The railroad ex-
cursions brought big crowds, and
when the last ticket had been sold
and dropped into the box at the gate,
fully ten thousand people had passed
within the inclosure.
Big Thursday is politicians day. And
yesterday they were all over there.
Many of the candidates for the various
offices were shaking hands with the
people and getting in good word for
number one. There were politicians
present from all over the county, and
one could hear whole heaps of political
information by keeping just one ear
open.
The exhibits were we'll looked after.
The stock particularly was gazsd upon

RACING FOR BLOOD.
The 3 Years Old Have q Battle
Royal.


The lovers of horse racing Wednesday
enjoyed a rare treat, for the horses
were driven for money, and about all
of them wanted first money, and the
days sport wound up in blaze of
glory.
Starter B. B. EIwell had In the stand

complaint from the stand. excepting
some pretty tedious scoring and one
start In class @.
The first horses called out were the
three year olds, and four starters faced
the wire. Nancy M" was the favor
ite with the talent, but "Collen Bawn"
split heats with her, and might have
won the race. The first heat went to
Nancy NJ" in 9. 5244, but In the second
heat w. W. Robbins drove "Collen
Bawn" an excellent race and landed
him an easy winner in $50. "McGinty"
and Diamond" would have been dist
apced but the distance was waived. In
the last heat the horses came to the
wire, with 'Collen Bawn" at the pole.
Bates had Diamond" about three
lengths ahead of the bench, and Mr..

gave utterance to his opinions, and
declared that such treatment would
lead him to draw ben Butler" from
