Statesvillc, Salisbury, Asheville, High
Point, Lexington, were all we'll repre-
sented, and the Fair yesterday was a
great success. The vast crowd was in
good humor as a rule handsomely cos
tuned and all were pleased with the
Fair and its auxiliary attractions, they
took in all the sights. The meritorious
attractions on midway were crowded
from morning till night. 1t was not
penny squeezing crowd, they came to see
all that was to be seen and admission
fees were but small considerations.
There was regret of course that the
track was in such condition that the race |
programme had to be postponed. but |

all OF them and perhaps several |
thousand others are going out to-day to |
witness the greatest racing day in the
