 Thursday, the second day, was consid- cred the banner day in point of attend ance. It is estimated that at least 5000 people were there, perhaps more. The weather was all that could be desired. Two accidents happened, but neither re- suited seriously. A little girl, Jennie Dim- ock, while watching platform act, was run into by a trotting sulky, knocked down, and besides being badly shaken and frightened, had her head severe ely bruised. The other accident was to Madame La ROux, who made the balloon ascension and parachute drop. She used different parachute than usual, and it did not work perfectly. She came down in tree and was then dragged onto a gravel bank. She had to be carried to her room, but appeared on the grounds next day, and said she was all right, except that her back was little lame.
 The 2.25 and 2. 2.35 classes and the fiat race were on the afternoons program. In the 2.25 class Rockwell Boy, driven by Dana Gary, was the favorite, and should have won in straight heats. In the first heat, however, Gary had such lead when the home stretch was reached that he slowed down to jog. The driver ot GlOster H. stole up unobserved and won the heat by 8 neck. Rockwell Boy took the next three, although Gloster H. was in the race from start to finish, and made the winner hustle.
