The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1885-09-15

oclcck the grounds, grand stand and halls
were thronged with admiriUg visitors,
whose words Of commentator and pleas
ure were proof thst the fair of 1885 was
equsl If not superior TO any before given
in Central Missouri.
During the forenoon there was probably
four thousand people visited the ground,
but after dinner, when the stores in the
city closed, the Ihrong began to swell rap
idly, and when the races began al 2 p. m.
there Was es MATED not less than
TEN THOUSAND PERSONS PRESENT.
An added attraction WIS also present in
the Iusr'er stretch, the Baird minstrel
troupe band having come out for the pur-
p sc of serepadiug the sudience on ,he
grand stand. They rendered some excel
lent music and Were che cred to the echo
by the va t concoune. There were many
persons press mt who believed the attend
ance Yesterday was the largest ever on the
grounds, bat this was probably not so, al
though when the grand stand and
qusr'er stretch were packed in
The afternoon, ii was scarce
ly possible to note sny decrease
in the mul'itudes In The various halls
which were fairly jammeG with people,
while the grounds and wslks were also
thronged, ard the numlrou side shows,

Die feature, was the fact that an intoxicat-
