In this connection it might be well to
state that the GLOBE headquarters at the
head OF Newspaper row, were as usual on
such occasions the center of attraction and
were thronged throughout the day.

About 200 patients from the Second Hos
pital for the Insane have visited the fair
The statement that four thousand people
were present on Wednesday was rather I'M
derestimated as the receipts of gate money
were $4,000, and season and dead heads tick
cts more than equal the amphitheatre re-
ceipts. On yesterday the attendance WAS
visibly increased and an estimate of five
thousand would be very safe, while those
who feel enthusiastic over the fair place it at
a still higher figure.
Probably nine-teHths of all the people on
the grounds sought a point of observation in
order to witness the close Of the great con-
test between the two celebrated stations who
have won SO much noteriety.
