fhroDged with people and Us many had
some the day before and remained in tne

All the regular trsrins bromght httnd-
reds Of people and the train from Fair
mont had among its passengers the
Jupki1ls band of 'twenty-tlree pieces
wlsqse music ,snlivened matters on the
street very much. After marching
t1rougn the principal streets OF the city
playing a number OF choice selections
they went to the fair grounds, where
they furnished music throughout the
day
The forenoon was devoted to examin-
mr. exhibits and making awards in the
various departments and Judges and
exhibitors were busy in tnis work The
thousands of visitors spent the time
hooking at the live stock, visiting the
midway and amusing themselves in
,rdous ways in the grove on the
grounds.
While there We're many town people
on the grounds yet the grenter number
vsiited until after the noon hour to &C
out and take in tine races.
Floral and machinery halls, when
thrown open to the public shortly after
flie noon fiour presented a very beautiful
and elegant appearance. They gave
abundant evidences of the enterprise
anary merchants, manufacturers, bust
ness firns, professional people and the
ladies of both county and city. They
ARE testimonials OF tine great interest
and pride the exhibitors have not only
in their own wares, cerations and pro
ducts, but in the maintenance and per
pet,iation Of the best public enterprise
the county possesses.
There was considerable disnPpoirt
ment Monday night over the fact that
the carnival did not do business, but
the management is to be excused ow-
ing to the fact that it was not able Z
net things inshape Coming from
Fairmont. where it showed until mid
1,isrlIt Saturday. there was not enough
time for ii 10 erect its tents and IN
stall its electrical appliances, As the
result no attempt Sas made to put the
affair in operation Monday night and
as the consequence the many hundreds
who visited the grourb,s did not see
what they went To see. However. they
did see that there were enough things
there to convince that that raj car
nival was on the grounds and that therc
would lye big show the remainder OF
the fair. Tne ferris wheel was mp in
skeleton and the electric lights were on
bat the seats had not been attached.
The various tents had also been erected
but the interior work had not been
completed The evening. however. was
very pleasantly spent as there We're
other amusemeuts aud TN rcfreshment
stands were doing land Office business
There was no grumbling owing TO the
fact that the gates were wide open and
NO one had to pay anything for some
. thing they did not get.
