The Coburn and Zion bands were there. to give concerts, there were races, a ball game in which Hecla park defeated an aggregation from Bellefonte by the score of 15 to 0," plenty to eat, paddle wheels ‘galore. and. al It was: all there but. drem was only absent through a blunder of a railroad employee.

Notwithstanding tl:e terrific heat there were about 1200 people went down to the new fair grounds to witness the races un- der the direction of the Centre County Ag- ricultural Exhibiting Co. Very few of those “who were there failed to notice the remarkable beauty of the spot and enjoy the rare setting nature has given the great circle’ on’ ‘which the horses show their speed. All the sports were there, from the millionaire down to the stable boy who stood in the ring and bet his nickel in the pools with all the affected knowledge of a Riley Grannon or a Pittsburg Phil. The whole gang was on hand, but some- thing seemed to be wrong. ‘‘Fatty Bates’’ stuck to the grand stand with a determi- nation begotten of a horrible fear of leaving nothing but a grease spot if he got out in the sun. [Ellis Orvis wasn’t even caught in the act of drinking lemonade at this meet, for he spent most of the afternoon in the shade of the judge’s stand where his en- tire attention was devoted to a piece of Beeman’s. gam. We missed ‘‘Deacon’’ Olewine, too, and that stogie and plaid neck tie that he dons on racing days and were just at the point of thinking we were not having any run at all for our money when the owner of Billy Howe strutted past and we had a few misgivings as to whether the balloon from Hecla park had not gotten out of its lati- tude. - Billy had just taken first money in three straight heats in the 2:40 class and it wasn’t any wonder that Jack Dale and John Blanchard had to bust the backs of their collars in order to get back far enough to see up to their fellow member of the gang. - The admiring look of the former bad a little of the green in it too, we fear, for you know he bought a racing horse in the spring for which the trainer has been unable to get rollers large enough to keep it going. The ladies. Oh yes the ladies were there in costumes that would make the display at the Atlantic City horse show this week look like Jerre Donovan’s rag pile. They know as much about the racing business as anybody else and got awful mad because starter Locke wouldn’t leave them go when Strath Blue, ‘‘a little wee horse’ was way ahead of Sally Derby and Rex Princeton. They thought it was awfully exciting when the driver with the white pants slapped the big fat fellow in the face with his whip, but their curiosity nearly consumed them to know how those two other drivers could get him into their pocket. The races were highly interesting and won as follows : 2:40 CLASS : Trot or pace, purse $150.00. Billie Howe, s. g., John Shugert, Belle- PLLLELLL Ly Shobbbih 0 0. 0.

Owing to scandalous treatment by the transportation companies in San Francisco in not selling them all tickets by the same route they came in detachments of twos and threes. Scott and Hill arrived about a week ahead of the others. Underwood and Sunday got here Sunday morning and Taylor, Vallance and Long arrived Mon- day night. The time for the reception had been fixed, great crowds of people were here from all sections of the county and it had to be gone through with. The escort committee composed of G. W. Rees, Col. W. Fred Reynolds, Capt. H. 8S. Taylor, John P. Harris, Dr. Geo. F. Harris, Charles Smith, John I. Olewine and J. C. Meyer went to Tyrone and came down with the three boys met there. High street was packed with peo- ple when the train arrived and such a dis- play of fireworks had never before been seen in the town. Everything seemed ablaze with red lights, rockets and candles as the parade moved off in the following order : Chief Marshall—John I. Curtin. Chief of Stafi—Capt. H. S. Taylor. Aides—Col.

The line of parade was as follows: Formed on High and marched to Spring, to Bishop, to Allegheny to Linn ; counter- marched to Howard, to Spring to High to railroad, and countermarched up High and massed on Diamond. At the Diamond the parade was dismiss- ed and an open air meeting was held under Col. D. F. Fortney, as the presiding officer. The speakers were Rev. W. P. Shriner, Judge John G. Love, Burgess Edmund Blanchard, Sepator W. C. Heinle and Capt. Hugh 8. Taylor. At the close of the exercises in the Diamond the hoys were taken to Ceader’s cafe, where a luncheon was served by the Daughters of the American Revolution. On the whole it was a very brilliant demonstration and passed off with entire credit to the gentlemen who planned and executed it. It is especially noteworthy that the committee had something over $90 in excess of expenses, samething un- heard of heretofore in demonstrations in Bellefonte. Those of the soldiers who have arrived here look exceptionally hardy. They are all here now but Corp. Sam Solt, who is ex- pected at any time.
