As excellent and as satisfactory as
was yesterday for the beginning of the
a sort Of preparation for and foretaste Of
today which will be far and away the
most spectacular of the week, if the rain
does not interfere with arrangements.
There will be two parts of the Fair in
reality today-the grand parade of floats
through the city this morning and the
racing, and other events at the grounds
in the afternoon, and of course all the
- -. ~. Al
sition building.
The parade will form this morning, as
on Yesterday morning, on South Fayette-
Vile street and is expected to start for
The Fair grounds at about 1880. The
following notice to those who will have
floats in the parade was issued
by the committee of the Chamber
of Commerce in charge of ar
Engagements last night, and all are urged
to give it careful attention:
'All floats will assemble on South
Wilmington street at 10 o'clock sharp ON
Wednesday morning. BY order of the
committee.

COL. GAMBRILL,

The place of each float in the parade
will then be assigned. The line of march
will be up Fayetteville street to Capitol
Square and thence out Hillsboro to the
Fair grounds.
The racing this afternoon will be
clean and fast if the track is in the ex
celent condition of yesterday. Some of
the horses entered i'll the trotting events
are easily able to make the double cir
cult in 2:20 or better, and the time made
Yesterday in the $50 class argues that
the 2:35 class today will show something
worth seeing As appears in the
sketches below of some horses now at
the grounds the entries are high class.
