Tho Crowd Not as Great as Antiui-
pnted-Will Close To-day.
Although yesterday was what 10
known as "Big Day" at the fair, the
crowd was not as great as was antici-
pated, and at the highest figures there
were not more than 10000 persons on
the grounds.
Among those present were a great
many from the country, some OF
whom came in their own conveyances.
The exhibits in the buildings were as
usual the centre of attraction, and
were viewed by thousands. As on the
previous day one great object OF in.
terest was the exhibit of tho manual
training department of the High
School and the Howard School and the
pupils ut work were surrounded all
day BY admirlng thronEs. Every one
was interested in the work OF the boys,
and II was plain to tho observer that
the Board of Education made no mis-
tako in having such an elaborate dis
play made.
When the races were called II was es-
timated that fully 1000 persons were
on the grand stands and inside the en-
closure. Excellent Music was fur
nished by the First Regiment Band,
and several Of the numbers were ap-
plauded.
