.SLS yesterday, and
NHD ten thousand PEG
%6Ty pie passed out,
&A tired perhaps, but
sITsaIIsfed with the big show and its
special features. IN that number were
included several thousand visitors. In
fact, one-half the people who attended
were strangers. The Wheeling people,
business men, mechanics, and laborers,
with their wives and families, will be
present to-day. This is City Day, and
the "big" daY of the Fair. All the
hanks will close their doors at noon,
and many mercantile houses will sus-
pend business during the afternoon.
The Association has prepared special
attractions, and everything will be
brighter, better and bigger than at any
time during the week.
The programme for to-day, including
the final heat Of yesterdays race, and
the races given below, will include
grand cavalcade at one o'clock. This
is feature which no visitor snouio
miss, as 1t gives an opportunity to see
the live stock show without visiting
the different stalls. The races VIII
start promptly at 1:30 o'clock, and Mad
ame Zeno will go up among the CLOUDS
at two. There should be twenty thou
sand visitors to-day, and that many peo-
ple can be easily accommodated on the
grounds. Large delegations OF farmers
came in over the different roads yester-
day and last night hotel accommoda-
tions were at premium. Every hotel
was filled, several persons being placed
in a single room wherever convenient,
and many others sleeping upon cots.
Yesterdays CROWD
was about equal to that of the third
day of last year, and the Directors OF
the Association were we'll pleased with
the showing. There was fear that
the general business depression, and
scarcity OF money, would have bad
effect upon the Fair this year, and this
feeling caused some anxiety among in
terested persons. Happily, the expec-
tstions of the Directors have thus far
been more than realized, and with
good attendance to-day and tomorrow,
the success Of last year will be duplica-
cation.
Most people take the entire day for
the Fair, and this plan Is a good one.
By going in the morning one has an OPP
portunity to go through the different
departments and see the various exhlo.
its before the races start. RThe crowd
Yesterday was a good-natured and order
ly one. II thronged the different build
1nes, stretched out along the midway
Plaisance," aud comfortably filled the
grand stand. 1t examined carefully
every feature OF the show, and invested
its loose change with the fakirs. 1t in
cluded many pretty girls, for which
Wheeling and nelghboring towns are
Justly noted-an attraction which was
TO many paramount to the races. There
were many amusing incidents, but none
OF an unpleasant nature, and the officers
who were present had little to do.
THE EXHIBITS
in the different departments all showed
ue well. This is especially true OF the
poultry department and the Southern
display. Too much cannot be said In
praise Of the fowls which make up one
of the strong features OF the Fair. The
gentlemen In charge Of the exhibit OF
Southern products and natural re-
sources, were besieged with questions,
and returned courteous replies to all.
To many the display OF minerals and
woods was q revelation. The South can
not fail to benefit from such an exhibit
ton of her resources. The Jubilee
Singers gave their two concerts. and
pleased large audiences each time.
The main exposition building was
crowded during the day, and the ladies
and gentlemen in charge of the exhibits
were kept busy. The children gathered
about the fountain and watched the fish
disportlng themselves in the water,
while the ladies found che art and
peedlework exhibits the most interest
ing. Impromptu concerts were given
during the afternoon, and Seamon's big
Indian "hddled" "Aiter the Ball" 1t
was an animated, moving scene OF
beauty. The exhibitors of farm imple-
ments have already derived profit
from their displays, in the number OF
sales which they reported.
