A Spree in the Rain.

We'll go TO Butler on Thursday. the
1st, rain or shine. said twenty thousand
people to themselves, during the latter
part of August And sure enough they
did; some of them hitched up in the rain
and drove TO town and some went to the
stations. a whole train-load OF former
Butler county people went to the B. &
o. station in Allegheny, in the rain, and
1t was raining when they got here. They
holed up in the hotels and with friends
till after dinner; and that made the big
gest day for the hotels and restaurants
here that they have ever known. One
hotel in Butler set up FIVE hundred din
ners and another took in about 5000
over its bar, that day, but, considering
the provocation. there was but little
drunkenness and disorder in the town
1t quit raining at noon and the people
flocked to the grounds on the hill, where
about twenty thousand admissions
were paid, making it one of the greatest
Fair Days. the town has ever seen.
The new grounds have the advantage
of being larger than the old; there was
room for everybody, with plenty TO eat
and drink, and plenty of shelter, while
ON hot days the grove provides ample
shade.
The races went on that afternoon and
the Grand Stand was crowded.
The display of horses was up to the
standard. David Hesselgesser had very
fine Perchreon on exhibition, and w.
Fl. Raiders white Arabian is a beauti-
full animal
The best of cattle, sheep and swine
were in their stalIs-the only novelty
being the display Of Angora goats by
McCandless and Donaghy. These
animals are said to be more easily kept
than sheep, while their wool or hair
brings sixty cents pound.
The displays of vegetables and grains
was not as large as usual, possibly on
account of the reduction in the premi-
ums, but what was there was very
good A lady-farmer of Butler town
ship had the largest display.
Though there were at least twenty
thousand people and about a thousand
rigs on the grounds, Thursday, there
were no accidents there whatever.
The only accident, that day, was
caused by the oyercrowding of car as
IL started down the SLeep grade IrOm
the entrance. The motorman seemed
to lose control of it from the start, and
it rushed down the hill. and bumped
into the preceding car. Those pas
sengers who kept their seats were not
seriously injured, but of these who
jumped from the car, Morgan Kennedy
of Butler had leg broken, A. q. BuZ-
zard of Mars was made unconscious by
his head striking some hard object; Mrs.
Samuel Logan of Whippo ave-, Butler,
had her back severely sprained; Thomas
Williams, p. B. & L. Z. r, R.. ankle
slightly sprained by being knocked off
rear car while reaching over the front
platform to snatch little child off the
track; Louis Blueming and child,
Lyndora, cut and bruised; Miss Agnes
Black. Sewickley, badly bruised, taken to
the home of J. X. Kearns where she
was a guest; John McUwan. Boggs-
vile, face cut; Miss McUwan, Boggs-
vile, eye cut and blackened and should
er badly bruised, and VIM. Ralston,
Prospect, shoulder bruised
The first FAN" ON the new grounds
can be voted success.
