 CARNIVAL

Injury Sustained by Dwight F. Rus seII--some of the Prize Winners.
 Another large and merry throng as- sembled at the Orange fair grounds yesterday to enjoy the second days attractions Among the number pres ent were included a good sized delega- tion from New Haven, which the daily special carried out to Orange. Inside the grounds the scene presented was ullf of life and color. Dresses of many colors blended into a pretty picture against the soft background of living green. Long rows of carriages filled with visitors stretched along inside the rae etrack. Everywhere was merriment and holiday. s-s..,.... .z. The morning was taken up with the exhibition of working cattle and draught horses. The fine pair of oxen entered by P. J. Rourke, which weighed about 3.400 pounds, won the prize in the latter class after fine contest His pair drew about four and one-half tons. MT. Rourke is to be congratulat- ed on his distinction of being the win ner in this class for the third consec- utiye year. a The afternoon opened with the en- larged floral parade There were thirty three vehicles in line yesterday, and the display was splendid. The spec tators enjoyed this feature of the fair thoroughly, and applauded the artistic ally designed exhibits freely. One new feature of yesterday was the 'Automo- bulr' float. representing an automobile and propelled by a bull harnessed be- hind. The headlight and wheel hubs were made of pumpkins. The Rock of Ages" float consisted of a white cross rising from a pile of rocks. A girl dressed in a white robe with silver spangles was clinging to the cross. Another float in the natural decoration class represented spruce forest with an Indian encampment. A water wheel in white and blue also attracted favor able comment. The take-off on the towns assessors made one of thea greatest hits of the procession. It was a bare old carriage carrying two rag dolls in the back seat and gotten up in most dilapidated fashion. The rear guard was composed of a large head of cattle from the Fairlea farm.
 As soon as the parade was over the attention Of most of the visitors was given to the racing. There was a long proframne run yesterday and dark ness was descending upon the field when the last heat was run. The races offered plenty of excitement, as they were closely contested. Many of the heats found the leading horses punched right to the finish. The running race was particularly exciting. In the last heat the winning horse, Peter II, made a break when about a third of the way around on the second lap which en- abled Docile to gain a big lead, but Peter II stuck to it pluckily and beat Docile to the finish.
 The pony races which were scheduled were called off on account of spill which occurred when the first lap was about half run. The leading pony de- cided to leave the broad and beaten track and turn aside into pactures green. The other ponies decided that this was a clever idea and followed the leader. III the melee Stiles Woodruff, 2d, was thrown. He was not injured by his experience but the judges thought it wise to take no chances on a serious accident and omitted the event. The fifty yards back race was won by c. Clark.
