The Great Day of the Greatest on Earth

Gomes Up With This Morning's Sua

and All Are Happy.

The third day of the "Greatest" over and the mightiest of them all lias come. The crowd yesterday was no larger than the previous day, but considering that Tuesday was a feature day yesterday's crowd was as iarge as could be expected. Several thousand people from the country, however, took advantage of an early date, and a modest crowd to witness the displays and will probably return to-day and tomorrow, the heavy fair days. The usual large crowd from the city came out in the afternoon to attend the races which were the chief attractions of the day, and will be of increasing interest the rest of the week.

As it is customary with most county fairs to hold only three days of the week, several mammoth attractions did not come in until yesterday morning, and in view of the fact that the grounds were well filled already, it looks probable that the people will be surfeited as well as inveigled by the various "legitimate" ten cent circuses and museums, with their pasty clowns, whose elastic consciences hang as loosely about them as their harlequin suits. But it is only a day's diversion, a flitting Bunbeam penetrating 'betwixt the clouds of a year's hard toil, and everything festive must go. The usual crowd of sporting gentlemen occupied the circle yesterday and played the races to their heart's content. Hat pool was the rage but many who had received tips placed their money on the favorite, and in a few instances were winners. Comfortable seats have been placed in the circle and a large crowd is expected to visit that place to-day and to-morrow.

The committees of judges were busy all day yesterday scoring the stock and poultry and the different displays in floral hall. This is an endless job and the committees are deserving of much sympathy. It is a noticeable fact that should be of consolation to those who shall not receive a red ribbon, that the rooster with the red floating from his cage crows no more viciously than the one with the blue and the hundred points in this favor makes him none the more esculent, and the food consumed by the premium sow, in putting her in desirable condition, more than counteracts the question of prize money.

To day the "Greatest" will lie in the zenith of its glory and everything will be filled up to its fullest capacity. An early breakfast will see the country folks in their Sunday clothes, but with no appetite, trembling BO to be on the road to the "Greatest on Earth,'' that a slight stimulant will have to be concocted before daylight dawns upon the eventful day. The boys yesterday climbed to the bare roof and spiked the weather vane, so that propitious prospects might greet the old man when he came to hitch up the sorrels, and a joyous day would be assured despite the actual condition of the atmosphere. Double duties were performed yesterday in order that the help might get off for a day. The cattle and swine were given an extra ear ef corn and the work horses were turned into the pasture to browse while their more stylish brothers and siBters were being regaled with all the horrible and ominous noises consequent on fair day. To-day will go down in the history as [the largest attended fair day ever held in Montgomary mnnly,

THE RACES,

At the race track yesterday three races and an exhibition irace made up the afternoon's sport, and still they did not finish the programme. The third race, a 2:27 trot for a purse of 8250, was carried over until this morning at 10 o'clock on account of darkness. In the betting ring everything was lively and as every heat constitutes a race in the

betting, the talented have opportunities galore to piace their money, with poor but qtiick returns.

The first programmed event of the day was the 2:25 pace. Thos. Smeltzley got the pole and going to the front at once, captured the first heat, with Clint Kit/ a hot secon In the [second heat Clint lviff took the [lead and held it all around, coming in by a length, with Bessie M. a close second. In the third heat Bessie M. lead off and kept her place till she came under the wire with Clint Kiff pushing her. In the fourth Bessie M. again came first uuder the wire neck and neck with Tom Smeltzey. In the fifth Bessie M. took the lead directly Bhe got the word, and leading all the way, won by four lengths, with Clint Kiff a close second, Bessie M, won first money, Clint Kiff second, Tom Smeltzley third.

The three minute trot, the second event on the card, was hotly contested. Frank C. was given the pole, and Rensselaer Wilkes went to the fore at once, but dropped bsck at the quarter, and before his driver could bring him tip, Eldine opened up a gap of a few feet and won the heat by a neck, both Eldine and Rensselaer breaking under the wire. In the second heat Eldine took the lead and kept it, coming in at the stretch by a length, with ItenBselaer a close second. Xeponset led off in the third and was first ut the quarter by a length but went in the air on the half, and Gee Grimes his driver, could not bring him up in time to prevent Rensselaer from winning the heat. In the fourth Rensselaer lead at the turn and won the heat without a skip or break by six lengths. Xeponset again took the lead in the fifth and was first at the quarter. He lapped with Rensselaer on the back stretch, but broke badly within a few lengths of the home

Btretch,

thus let

ting Rensselaer in b\ a length. Renbselaer won first money, Eldine second, and Xeponset third,

The third event.of the afternoon was the 2:27 trot which was unfinished, Tom Tinker took the pole and at once went to the head, but soon dropped behind. and Chance came in under the wire neck and neck with Joe, who was given last place for indulging in several different gaits not prescribed in the race. In the Eecond Chance led but broke up on the second turn, Joe came in without any effort. The race was carried over

[cOKTtNTED OX LAST FACE,

A Peppery Card from H, D. VanOleave To the Editor of The Journal. Replying to an article in yesterday's JOURNAL concerning the condition of E. P. Hallett, who is now confined in the Hospital for Insane at Indianapolis^ I have to say that the card of Supterintendent Wright published in yesterday's JOURNAL IS quite in keeping with other insulting cards sent to me as Hallett's guardian, and his conduct toward the mother and sister of Hallet on various occasions when they went to visit their son and brother the asylum. As to some one lying to the JouitNAL about Hallett's condition, the assertion alone, coming from the Superintendent, will not settle that questiun. Thore is a iyher court of appeal and other men's oaths may weigh as heavily in the balances of justice as C. E.' Wright's, Superintendent Central Insane Hospital for Indiana.
