FINISHED TOMORROW

The New Castle County Fair will
be continued until Saturday evening
IN order to permit all the races
scheduled to be held. In spite of the
rain. the attendance yesterday was
the largest of the three days. Thous.
ands Of people came for the races
which were announced for o'clock
but the rain put the races out OF tha
question and drove the visitors 10 the
shelter OF the tents. There was .
great deal of dissatisfaction expressed
because the management refused to
give rain checks. The crowds who
had come purposely for the races felt
that they were treated unfairly. since
they did not get what they came for,
in not being allowed checks for the
races to-day.
Yesterdays postponed races will be
called at 3 o'clock this afternoon. To-
days card goes over until tomorrow

/ all the sawdust and shavings OF
Brosius and Smedley. and will
have them spread on the grounds
so that the visitors need not fear
muddy walks. All the dilapadation
/ produced by the rain has been
eliminated. and the fair is in good
running order to-day. The early cars
are carrying crowds of fair-gocrs.
