142 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



THIRD DAY. 



[From the Daily Record-Union of Thursday, September 23d.] 



Yesterday was a triumphal day for the Directory of the State Agri- 

 cultural Society, iu that it was marked by the largest attendance at 

 Park and Pavilion known for years, and wasvhonored by the pres- 

 ence of President Hayes and party. The receipts were in excess of 

 the great "sham battle day" of last year. It is estimated that at the 

 Park, at two o'clock p. m. yesterday, there were assembled not less 

 than sixteen thousand people. This great congregation in gallery, 

 stand, lobby, quarter-stretch, and paddock, was a sight worth a long 

 trip to see. 



AT THE PAVILION. 



Last evening the Pavilion opened at seven o'clock. At an early 

 hour the halls were all well filled. At nine o'clock the Presidential 

 party arrived, and at that time the upper hall was so densely filled 

 that it seemed impossible to have packed another person in. During 

 the evening the music rendered, as heretofore announced, was fre- 

 quently encored, and pieces had to be repeated in several instances. 

 At half-past ten o'clock, when the Pavilion closed, the crowd was 

 still very large, and only departed when notified by the ringing of 

 the bell that the hour for closing had arrived.
