The Races.

The races were not nearly as unsat-
isfactorily as on the previous day. 1t
was announced in the morning that
there was to be a change in judges,
but when the unfinished heat of the
235 class was called the only change
was in Fl. H. Lee of Augusta, being
subs tituted as starter. and Mr.. Nichols
as judge. AS soon as this race was
finished he retired and Mr.. Horn re-
sumed his place in the stand. The
judges were |. H. Hersom of Oakland,
j. NJ. Nichols of Augusta, and w. w.
Wilkins of winthrop, for the unfinished
heat of the 2.35 class. AS soon as the

judges were w. T.. Goodale of Win

well for many years.

4 SIGNIFICANT REMARK.
Early to Bed. So u Anything Happened Would
Be Clear Of Il.

Yarmouth, Mass, Sept. fiddle
Ray Snow, who was arrested in Mid
dleboro, this afternoon, on suspicion,
has been boarding with Joseph Bassett
of Yarmouthport, for the past two or
three days while his parents were on a
vacation trip to New Hampshire.
Last night, he eat supper, about 80
o'clock, which is about one hour after
the time when the murder is thought
to have occurred. Snow made the re-
mark to Mrs. Bassett that he would go
10 bed and then il anything happened
he would be clear of it. This remark,
while it does not furnish positive proof
against him. was certainly a significant
utterance II Mrs. Bassett heard him
arightly.
State Officer Letteney brought Snow
to Barnstable Jail on the evening train

home before the races We're over.
President Kent told the Journal man
that the crowd at the first of the after
noon was never larger on these grounds
of late years. He is very much pleased
with the receipts at the gate and the
exhibits
Everybody was surprised at the large
and beautiful exhibits They We're all
very fine, and especially the canned
fruit exhibits. These We're the equal of
any fair which will be held, this year
They were all nice looking and the
labels were not soiled, as is the case in
many exhibits. Everything was neat
and clean and nobody could help being
pleased.
The only disturbance of the fair oc-
Cured, this afternoon, just after the
races had been started. A Spaniard
who lives in Wayne was intoxicated
and wanted to fight. Deputy Sheriff
NJ. S. Gordon of Vienna, who is in
charge of the police arrangements.
speedily went to arrest him or put him
off the grounds. The Spaniard started to
reach for his sheath knife, but Mr..
Gordon was too quick for him and
threw him down and took the knife
away from him. The man was put off
the grounds, but again came round
and was making considerable cheap
talk. The officers again went after
him and succeeded in sending him
home.
The fair has been remarkabl for the
little disturbance and drunkenness
seen. Usually at such large gatherings
il is impossible to prevent considera-
BILE of this but the police arrange
ments have been admirable and Depu-
ty Sheriffs Gordon and Gilman, with
their assistants, have done wonders in
keeping the crowd in subsection and

The grounds are now deserted and as
the Journal man left the place pre-
scented lonesome aspect. for after be-
ing so busy the past three days ii
seems strange that it should now be
deserted for another long II months.
The exhibitors have gone with their
exhibits and the vendors have sold out
and gone to some other place.

On the Midway.

The Midway is not extensive here
| but still it furnishes lots of fun The
fakirs are present in good numbers
but not nearly as many are present as
/ will be at Windsor next week. This
part of the show is very poor. there
only being a few people doing business
and the absence of side shows, which
are the life of fair being very mark
ed.
The person approaching from the old
gate first finds the place where you
throw base ball and hit the negro in
the face and receive a cigar which
would be much more enjoyable if COW
cred by an alright cover.
The only tintype gallery is where
they make the picture of your sweet
heart and put it on a small round pin
. for you to wear on your vest or coat
| This concern has done a good business
throughout the fair and many are seen
about the grounds with these pictures
/ on their clothes
Then there is the striking machine
where the boys and men try their mus
, Gle. person with a camera and a
good story writer would here gain
enough material for a David Harum"
or other rustic novel. 1t is really fun
ny to see the people step up and with
a determined air seize the mallet and
strike the machine where if they only
knew the trick they could do it with
out expanding but few ounces of
strength
The men with the rings are here and
many have won canes and knives by
throwing the rings over them. This is
sport for the country lads and even
some of the city boys have been seen
carrying round the canes they have
won. The canes are not worth very
much at any time but here they are
not worth as much as usual.
The chewing candy and pop corn
men are here and have done rushing
business for this is about the only
chance to treat the girls that can be
found on the grounds outside of the
peanut men and fruit vendors. The
ice cream man did not do a very extern
sive business, yesterday. for it was too
cold but still he had the consolation of
knowing that his stock was not melt
ing very rapidly.
Gray's Business college team. under
the care of II. ]. Clossom. was here
and he did a good business distributing
advertising. The handsome span of
roans which haul this team attracted
a lot of attention and with the pretty
wagon and neat uniform of the driver
could not help but make a favorable
impression.
Col r. w. Soule of Augusta, better
known as the Hustler. had large tent
on the end of the Midway and he had a
very nice stock of fancy chairs. both
upholstered and willow. He also had
sample lounges and tables. The
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine of
which the Hustler is the agent. had an
exhibit i'm this tent which was under
the charge of State Agent Fl. f. Ris-
teen. He is q gentlemanly man and
did much by his unfailing courtesy to-
ward making a favorable impression
among the ladies for his machine.
The Hustler was not present and his
melodious voice was missed and the
persuasive powers of the aforesaid
voice was missed by the money in the
