FREDERICKSBURG FAIR
BEGAN ON YESTERDAY,
Fine Horses-ResuIt of Yes
tcrdnyss Races.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, September
23.-(Special)-The sixteenth annual fair
opened here this morning. AS usual, on
the first day, there was only a fair
crowd in attendance. The fakirs and side
shows, however, are on hand in great
force. The exhibits in all the departments
are as large, and in some cases larger,
than they have ever been. This is espe-
cia!ly true in the ladies' department.
AS is usual, on the opening day, there
were only two races, the first being won
by Rustic, a Cupeper horse and the
second by Mamie Ordway, owned by Duff
Green, of this city. Five horses started
in the second event, which was half
mile dash, but the race soon developed
into match between Ordway and Simp-
sons Gold Dust the latter coming out
second best.
Tomorrow will be the big day of the
fair, and the city is filling up with visit
ors. 1t is estimated that 5000 people will
be on the grounds. Among the horses
which will run tomorrow are McFonso
and Sapho, owned by F. R. Keys of LIN
den, Md; Or. Lynch, owned by A. B..
Schley, of Charles county, Md; LAZY
Ruth, owned by w. W. Hutheson, of
Washington, and a number of other good
ones. Governor Montague will be warmly
welcomed on Thursday.
