THE BROCKTON FAIR.
The Second Day’s Attendance was 35,000.
The second day of the 20th annual fair of the Brockton Agricultural Society opened with cloudy weather. At 1 o’clock the 7,000 seats in the grand stand were disposed of and speculators sold a few tickets at a premium. By 3 o’clock it was estimated that were 35,000 people on the grounds.
The track was in fairly good condition, though a trifle heavy. Many tally-hos and drags from Boston were on the grounds.
The special track event of the day was the exhibition mile of Mrs. F. H. Winch, who holds tho world’s record for one mile for lady drivers, made at Glens Falls in August—2:12 1/4. She drove her pacer Major Wonder, today, to beat the record, and made the mile in 2:19 1/2
One of the features today was the exhibition of the horseless carriage owned by George H. Morrill Jr of Norwood on the track. It is expected that there will be some lively bicycle racing seen tomorrow. Many local men will be in the one-mile open and the two-mile handicap.
