Attendance Was Large.
The Fair officials were greatly en-
couraged by the attendance. The pop
ular cry is for running races, so that
1t is almost a certainty that there will
be greatly increased crowds whenever
running races are on the card. Such
a large attendance on a day devoted
exclusively to trotters and PAGERS,
leaves no doubt that those on which
there are to be runners will see the
grandstand filled to overlooking.

sport than that afforded by the trotters
and PAGERS, however, nor could more

hands on the results. The detectives
kept a sharp watch out for touts, and
those gentry were given a warning
that served to greatly reduce their ef-
forts to rope in the sporting element
A few of them operated, but not
enough to create quite as much dis
gust as on the first day.
The horses were called to the track
shortly after / o'clock, and at 1870 the
