TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE. The Estimated Number on the Omaha Fair CGrounds. THEY PASS A HAPPY HOLIDAY. Merchant Prince and Plebian Touch Elvows in the Jostling Crowd—A Sea of Interested Faces View the Speed ents. Fourth Day of the Fair, The great day of the fair was favored with most auspicious weather, and the manage- ment was in smiles. Thousands of people attended the great exhibition. As early as 11 o'clock about 10,000 people were on the grounds, The parade of the traveling men in the city kept many people away, but about noon the great stream of, humanity was turned toward the fair grounds and poured in perfect floods through the differcnt gates, During the afternoon the crowd iwas vari- ously estimated at from twenty to twenty- five thousand, The judges of the various classes got to work earlier than usual and by noon had awarded prizes for the best specimens of horseflesh, harness, both single and double, the fattest cattle, to the different varieties of chickens, green-house plants and mechanical contrivances. The display of the last named is of great in terest, particularly to the country people, aud consists principally of hay rakes, har- rows, plows, cultivators, hay and cider presscs, with a multitude of other articles. The display of wagons, buggics and other wehicles is now complete aud probably the Bargest and handsomest ever made here. The munagement is doing everything in its to provide for the comfort of the vis itol Sprinkling carts are busy settling the dust, and barreis of ice water are pro wvided in ubundance to slake the thirst. The latest attraction added is the display of wild unimals and birds by Erucst Meyer, of South Thirteeuth street, ouc of the most extensive amateur fanciers of the kind in the stute. The collection is nearly as lar as an ordinary menagerie and has been ex- citing the greatest interest. Crowds arc about it coustantly, Mr. Meyer has made pets of all the birds and animals, and their pranks excite continual bursts of laughter and admiration. The collection comprises two wolves, a fox, a badger, three raccoons, two antelopes, two mountain lions, two pra dogs, u white rat and ten young ones, fift rabbits, including the silk, white and Kus sian varieties, an American e, turtle doves, magpies, horned owls, Spauish carrion birds, and other rarc specimens of beast and Jowl., The interest in the dog cxbibit still con tinues. Ed Rothery's tamous rat cateher, “Pete," is particularly sought out. TRIALS OF SP, The Great Crowd Witnessing kxcel- lent Sport on the Tarf. The races, as a natural conscquence, com manded the attention of the majority of the immense throng, aud long before the first race was called the grand stand was packed like sardines in a box. The entire course was lined twenty deep, while the quastc stretch und paddock was o sea of moving, cheering, enthusiasiic people. The turn out of vehicles in the stretch was very large, and added much to the picturesquencss of the inspiriting scene. The first event on the afternoon’s card was the 2:27 trot, purse $500.
