BAD FAIR WEATHER.
Was Too Cold to Work Up Enthusiasm
 Among Spectators.

7 ternoon, when fairly large crowd was in attendance. The fair was not the grand success that was anticipated. ] The cold and disagreeable weather has been big drawback to the fair and the attendance has been much affected by it.
 The weather at the park was so cold l that the people found it almost impos- sible to stand around and watch the horse races. The change in the wealth CT must have also affected the horses and their drivers, for the racing was very poor. Joe Vito's horse Jack won the butchers race, Bessie Giesler was l second and Dauch's Belle was third Charles Stockings horse Frank won the other race. The officials were as follows: Judges, Edward Fenton, Thomas H. Hayes, David H. Mulcahy; starter. Maurice H. Noonan; clerk, Harold R. Durant.
