GREAT EAIR.


Topsham, October 13. - Beautiful
weather and the largest crowd ever
known in the history of the society char
acterized this, the second day of the Tops
ham fair. A stream of people began to
pour into the grounds early in the morn
ing and continued right up to the af-
ternoon. The ticket takers were kept
busy and earned all of the compliments
dealt out to them. There were fully TO-
600 people on the grounds. The sunlight
streamed down in about as intense rays
as on any day during the summer and
hardly a stir of a breeze was felt. 1t
was a perfect day of Indian summer. The
officials wsre highly pleased this evening
after they had glanced over the books
showing the receipts of the two days
Another successful day is promised for
Monday.
The first event on the racing programme
was the finishing of the 2.19 class OF
which three heats were run off yester
day. The horses got out on the track soon
after noon but 1t was after / clock be-
fore everything was in readiness for the
last night they had selected Mr.. Hainss
to drive Alice Drake today, considerable
criticism having been made regarding
the work of Mr.. Pattangan, the owner,
who was behind the ribbons yesterday.
But Mr.. Haines had been called to the
fair at Acton. So Ira Woodbury. of Port
land was elected to drive the mare At
ter scoring four or five times the word
was finally given. Newmaroh was in
the lead from the start, but it looked at
the home stretch that he might be
pressed. lie was perfe city steady, how
ever, and was equal to the emergency.
Scooter and Bay Dean had close
scrap for second position, the former
winning by a nose This ended the
race. The summary:

Mr.. McKenney did not act as one of
the judges today and his place was filled
by w. D. Haley of South Gardiner. There
win be two races on Monday, a 2.29 class
and a 2 20 class.
''Pop'= Williams, the well known base
ball player, who has been pitching for
the Toronto club OF the Eastern league,
turned up at his home in Iopsham sew
eral days ago, and this forenoon furnished
an entertainment that drew about him
crowd and which was one of the best
attractions Of the day. While strolIing
along the Midway "Pop'' ran into
the freak negro with the soft head, who
is open to engagements at all of the cOun-
try fairs. "SmOke' is the Fill pinO who
bends through a canvass and entreats
the sporting inclined to try their Hok
at hitting his noodle with q baseball.
Up to the time that Williams with his
strong arm and accurate aim as we'll as
all of his old time speed, appeared on the
scene, something like one hundred men
and boys had tested their proWess and
had shown themselves pretty poor
marks. ''Smoke' had the laugh on all
OF these aspiring athletes. But is was
different when 'Pop'' snatched up
the balls and sent them whirling through
the air. Back and forth in double
quick time went the black face and the
lodging was done none too soon in or
der to avert a dilapitated countenance.
The ball striking pell NELL against the
head of "SmOke' wOuII make a crack
ing sound and then bounce high over
the canvass and out into the crowd.
This was fine sport while 1t lasted and
was one Of the events that should have
been advertised.
