ROCKVILLE, Md, August Is. 1906.
Just about the time that the large croWo
at the fair yesterday afternoon had settled
themselves for an afternoon of excellent rae
ing sport an angry-looking cloud made us
appearance In the heavens, and before
many could gain shelter perfect deluge
descended. converting the track into a sea
of mud. The fair managers quickly de-
cided that 1t would be impossible to carry
out the racing program, so all races but the
county trot or pace, one heat OF which hao
already been gone. were declared on. The
county race will be concluded tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock
Great local interest conferred in the coun-
ty trot or pace, and it's interruption by rain
was a great disappointment to a large ma
jority of those present. Only four horses
faced the starter in the one heat-Charles
H. Griffith's Edna G., Charles Neirs Blue
Bell. George Pattersons Lady Belle ana
William H. Rabbits Ella p The heat was
won by Edna G. The others were so close
I'D that there was every promise that the
contest would prove an interesting one. The
time was 2.34A.
