/ old SOL, the red-faced rascal, PLAYED
u peek-a-boo from behind the storm
cloudsaIl day yesterday. and he and
Jupiter Pluvius played a brilliant game
for supremacy directly over the fair
grounds. The game was watched by
! thousands in the city. and the weather
eye Of the fair management never lost
sight Of what was going on in the
heavens. in the morning rain fell and
the outlook for a crowd was dark. but
/ before noon the sun had driven the
clouds from view and the people rolled
out 10 the entrance Of the fair, filing
every car TO the tenders. Before they
stopped. the largest crowd OF the week
/ mad passed the turnstiles, and the pros
poets all pointed 10 a successful day.
Such indeed il was. but the battle in
4 the heavens was not at an end Soon
after O'Clock i'm the evening Pluvius
, rallied up all his reserves. drove the
/ people TO shelter with a lively shower
and treated the spectators to an cleo
trical display that was terrifying as an
/ exhibition of power. Still Old Sol Kept
! up the fight. He sank TO rest smiling
over the universe and as a last token
/ OF defiance threw a beautiful rainbow
across the blacklist cloud III the
! heavens.
People Saw the Sights.
The storm did not interfere with the
| programme of the afternoon. Every
race was given on schedule time. every
( free entertainment Was given I'm the
! presence of tremendous crowds. and
! there was nothing To dctract from the
lseneraA pleasure. The day was cooler
I than the two previous days. and for
/ that reason it was pleasanter The
/ sprinkling carts had conquered the dust
and all the people within the enclosure
/ seemed out TO have good time. They
/ had a good time They crowded the
/ grand stand to witness the races: they
crowded the enclosure 10 buy pools on
/ the horses; they jammed the Midway 20
! see the freaks, they stood about I'm a
compact mass to see DR.. Carver shoot
/ 10 see Phil Green balance on the ball.
/ to see Powder Face and Cupid dive
/ thirty-five feet into the tank Of water;
they crowded every exhibit till il was
a question of time for any one to push
/ has way through any OF the buildings
/ 1t was a gOOd-natured crowd made up
/ largely Of people from outside the city.
/ Brfght-faced young men and women
( passed through The gates holding each
I others hands, and it was not difficult
/ TO guess that some of them paid recent
visits TO the temple. No part of the
/ fair was overlooked by this crowd made
up of people determined 10 get the
worth of their money
Busy Day For Judges.
( The great work yesterday was among
/ the judges. They were busy through
/ out the day and made good progress in
awarding the prizes. and the unpleas-
/ ant feature that crops out in every fair
4 was everywhere present Yesterday
4 the protests from exhibitors The
( protests were not confined 10 any de-
/ partment. Many Of them came from
/ the pOultrymen, and one man an
! nounced that he was able, willing and
| ready TO knock the face off the Judge
\ who awarded second prize to his chick
/ ems when he should have given them
/ first prize.
1 Last night the officials were elated
/ over the success of the day and the
outlook for the two remaining days.
! Today, children's day, is expected to be
a big one if the weather is fine Spe-
/ cial programmes are being arranged for
/ the little folks. and nothing viii be left
undone 10 make the day a red letter
/ day in the experience Of every tot who
