WHEELING KNIGHTS
EnliVened the Bellaire Fair by Their
Presence

LAST EVENING, AND A BIG CROWD
WAS OUT TO GREET THEM
ATTRACTIONS FOR THE DAY
LIST OF AWARDS ANNOUNCED.
The presence of the Wheeling Knights
at the Beilalre street far last even
, ing did much to swell the crowd and
! introduce pleasing variety to the in
cidents of the evening. The knights
from Couer de Leon, B. Stanley and
James c. MCGEE companies, u. R. K.
of p, went down upon the electric line
at 1880 o'clock, and alighting from the
cars at Indian Run, marched to the
fair grounds on South Guernsey street.
The formation of the column swept the
entire street, and with the red fire cast
ing its lurid glare upon the handsome
uniforms of the Knights and the gaily
playing band in the lead, it may be
imagined the Wheeling gallants were
the cinosure of the assembled multi
tude.
There were two boxing contests last
evening, the first between YVES. Car
ter, colored, and J.. McNamee, white,
both of Bellaire, was fast and uriou
and kept the audience in a roar. The
second was between Buzz Auber and
Young Polinsky, of Wheeling. This
also created much merriment. No de-
cisions were given.
The crowd was kept away by the
threatening weather during the day, and
the admissions were cut down to S26.
The evening, however, was more favor
able and 4,237 people found their way
into the enclosure.
This will be the final and no doubt
largest day, for which the following
special attractions have been provided:
1:So-Band Concert.
2:30-Shoe Laeing Contest, Open to all boys
under II years. All contestants will re-
move their shoes, and they Will be
placed in a barrel by a committee. The
