and the city is decorated i'll carnival colors
as never before. 1t is estimated that there
are already $4,000 visitors in the city, and
tomorrow there will be $4,000. The tinan-
cial success of the fair is assured. Among
the exhibits to attract most interest was
the alfalfa palace, the first one ever erected,
showing the many uses of alfalfa. The
races were very well attended and the
track is said to be nearly perfect.

BRIGHTON BEACH, N. Y, Sept. 49,
Brighton's one-day meeting was not a sue
cess to-day, the attendance being very
small. The weather was cool and clear,
and the track in fast shape. Though three
favorites and three outsiders carried off
the honors to-day the finishes were not ex-
citing and on the whole the sport may be
said to have been very tame.
