shaded. and, although a large part of the
previous night had been utilized in thor

ance on the grounds and were the sub
jects of much attention. After parking
their wheels at the office of the secretary
they proceeded to enjoy the novel sights OF
the fair. Despite the heat and dust the
racing was apparently much enjoyed The
grand stand was packed to it's fullest ca
pacity and every available foot of space
around the third-mle track was crowded
with perspiring. yelling and somewhat
dirty humanity. 1t is a fact, worthy of
note, that during this season of excite

and but very few persons under the In

the grove at the rear of the grounds by
some means interfered with the peace and
quietness of large and healthy swarm of
yellow jackets and before the frightened
and suffering animal could be rescued
from the stings of its tormentors 1t was
feared that their attack would prove fatal
and also cause stampede among the
horses in the immediate vicinity.
