August o. 1900.
There was a large crowd at the fair to-
day. but the representatives from the lower
counties were scarce, the total number
present being less than 1900. Tomorrow
will doubtless be the banner day and all
preparations are being made for large
crowd. more especially from the lower
counties and cities.
The judging of live stock department was
completed, but the list Of premiums was
not given out. The judging was done by
Judge Frank Lovelock of Lynchburg, Va.
Owing to the constant rain the track was
deep, and only few races scheduled, COM
mencing with those postponed from yester-
day, and these were not full, only a few
starting their horses owing to the heavy
condition of the turf.
