ROCKVILLE, Md. September 2. 1910.
A fine racing program and delightful
weather brought out an unusually large
crowd for the closing day OF the Rock
willie fair. The. big attendance today was
also due, It is .thought, to the fact that
many of those who usually attend but
one day had their pleasure marred yes
terday by the heavy rain OF the after
noon and came back today to make up
for 1t.
Although the total receipts OF the fair
will not be known for several days, there
is not much doubt that the exhibition
has been a financial success. Had the
heavy rain Yesterday come earlier In the
day it would have played havoc with
| the attendance and put the association in
| a big financial hole, but the downpour
! did not begin until after the big crowd
| had put up the price and entered the In
| closure.
| Prominent i'm yesterdays big crowd
| were Brainard II. Warner, jr., and David
j. Lewis, republican and democratic can
didates, respectively, for Congress in this
/ district They arrived on the grounds
when the crowd was at its height and
/ were Immediately surrounded by their re-
/ spectiye friends. who showered congratu-
/ lations upon them upon their success In
| Tuesdays primaries They put IN an
i hour or two shaking hands with old
/ friends and forming new acquaintances'
/ and seemed to enjoy themselves botn
/ candidates expressed themselves as conn.,
dent OF winning at the November cleo
ton.

The Racing.
few minutes before the time for
starting the first race yesterday afternoon
rain began falling heavily and converted
the track into such a sea of mud that
the harness events had to be postponed
until today. The running events-a mile
dash and a six-furlong affair-were run
according to program.
The six-furlong event was captured by
Helen b., which led all the way. but had
to be hard ridden to beat Lucille r.,
which moved up rapidly In the stretch.
Flat Creek won the mile dash without
difficulty. He led practically all the way
and finished a length In front of Helen
b., which ran splendid race In view of
its being her second start OF the day.
