LONG BRANCH. Sept. 1.-The clos
ing day Of the Long Branch Fair in
Elkwood Park saw a gathering that
was second only to that of last Wednes-
day when there were 10000 on the
grounds. Today over half that num-
Der crowded the many roads, In spite
of the fact that a large portion of the
attractions had been removed to other
places. The act that 1t was a holiday
made largely for this big gathering.
After almost giving up hope that the
Governor would attend he came today
and stayed during the greater part of
the track events He a accompanied
by his son and attended by Judge Will
bur A. Heisley and Mayor C. o. Nc
Faddin. A special box, reserved for
the Mayor, was placed at his disposal
and he was entertained there. A card
of eight races made the track a greater
attraction than ever and the fact that
this days meet would doubtless close
all horse racing for at least a year
here brought out all the lovers of the
sport. There were at least 10000 in
the enclosure and many lined along the
fences round the track.
The winning of Peter Hauck, jr's
Fancy, in the first race, was one of the
exciting incidents of the meet. The
Newark mans pony came in an easy
two lengths in the lead.
In the fifth race there was some ex-
element. AS they were coming to the
post Meyer & Strauss's Buster threw
his Jockey, Carr, over the fence and
ran away. The boy was found not to
be badly hurt.
