GAMBLING CARRIED on EXTENsIvELY-TIiE CON
GREss NOMINATION.
Providence r. L. Sept. % (SpeciaD.-The State
Fair which was held at Narragansett Park this
week has been popular The show In many par
ticulars has been conducted on more elaborate
scale than ever before. The display in the depart
ment OF poultry dogs, horses and women's work
has been OF such character as TO raise the fair al
most 10 the dignity OF exposition. There has
becn a noticeable change In the manner In which
the amusement portion of the fair has been con-
Quoted. For nearly three-cuarters OF a century
the Society for the Encouragement OF Domestic
Industry held fairs each year. and was very par
ticular that nothing savoring Of vice or immortality
should show itself the Fair Grounds. For in
stance, lntoxicants never sold: poo-selling
was not permitted: all games OF chance were
barred and side shows obliged to be par
ticularly circumspect. The fair has passed out
OF the hands OF this association into that OF n
stock company. whose object first ali was 10

the law passed for the purpose at the last
session Of the Legislature large space was also
devoted to the operations OF "A wheel OF fortune and
dozen men were kept busy In pulling In the
dollars OF a large circle OF Spectators Side shows
OF such n racy character that no women were per
mitted to see them were openly conducted. The
character OF the fair lowered to such a degree
that the Executive Committee OF the School Com
mittee came very refusing to close the schools
on Friday. according TO the usual custom on fair
week Upon "A promise of the managers OF the
fair TO keep minors out OF Monte Carlo" the
betting ring Is called. II decided to close the
schools as usual 1t Is doubtful however. whether
there will be public school exhibit the fair
next year. unless there is a noticeable change for
the better In the conduct OF the concern. The at
tendance at the fair. on the whole. quite
as large a. last year. owing to the bad weather
early In the week.
The gambling craze, which seems TO have taken
such n hold on the community. started with the
running races last summer and this weeks races
are only preliminary to the forty-hve days OF run
