My great-great-grandfather, James W. Daly actually bred some of the trotters that raced in harness races at the fair. He had stables in Mount Kisco off of Bedford Road. My great-great-grandfather’s company was actually working on the Harlem River to New Rochelle stretch of the NYNHRR line when he died in 1908. Where did you find the photos from the fair? I know that my great-uncle actually offered the stable grounds for the fair one year. I can dig up the article if you would like it.

Thanks again for your posts.

Jim Daly

Correct. It was originally Grand Central Depot, before being renovated into Grand Central Station, and then in 1913 Grand Central Terminal.

In those days, I suppose it was not a “Terminal”.
