The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1910-07-05
1000 people
Saw THE RACES
THE FIRST DAY.
Speed Programme
Was a Very
Fine One

day. According to the estimate Of
one who has Travelled from place to
place attending race meetings there
we're seven thousand people at the
races yesterday. 1t was an auspicious
opening. All the care that could be
exercised in getting together a classy
aggregation OF horses was exercised
by the officials of tho organization.
That they succeeded has been demon
strated. The card offered yesterday
was one that was more than satisfac-
tory 10 all. The programme consisted
of three harness races and two rum
ming races.
The attendance was kept down by
the threatening weather. Hundreds Of
country people that had made up their
minds to come here to see the speed
programme were kept away by the
lowering clouds that threatened rain
at any meeting.
Hundreds of people came in on the
trains and spent fine afternoon by
the race track. All of the trains COM
ing to town in tho morning and at
noon were filled with visitors that
wanted 10 see the spceaers IN action'
The weather was all that could be de-
sired in way. There was no broil.
ing sun and there was enough air stir.
ring TO make 1t pleasant. The clouds
made 1t easier for the people to watch
