visibility of securing extensive accommo-
da.ions for transporting those who wish
to see the fair, Secretary Flummerfelt, of
the British Columbia Board of Trade,
said this afternoon that he was sur
prised at the extent and attractiveness
of the Interstate fair. and that the COM
mittee would so report on reaching home.
The forest of nagstaffs, with waving iags
of blue, white and yellow. impressed the
visitors favorably. He considered the en-
terprise gigantic one and one that has
been well carried out. The committee will
report in favor Of hearty cooperation. and
II is expected that a large excursion will
be formed TO reciprocate by visiting the
Agricultural fair at Victoria.
Thus far the managers of the Interstate
are we'll pleased with the attendance.
Statistically speaking. the results far out
reach those realized at the Midwinter.
Within radius of ten miles from the
heart OF San Francisco there are said to be
500, 900 people, and for q long time there
was not over per cent. OF that number in
daily attendance at the fair. However.
on basis of 10000 within like radius
from the center of Tacoma, there has been
over per cent represented in the daily
attendance at the Interstate ever since IL
opened, without the assistance OF any ex-
tensively advertised special days.
The biggest day in the near future is to
be Seattle-Tacoma day, September II.
The commercial bodies of both cities will
be largely instrumental in making that
day great success. Eastern Washington
day will be September q, the same as
the British Columbia day, as at present
planned. The Elks will own the fair Sep

United Workmen will take possession

public will have several days along in the
early part OF October, aud Mrs. Slaughter
says the Woman's congress. October %. 80
and 81, will DO the most interesting event
OF the whole shooting match" The An
eient Order of Foresters will have day
late in October. and the Idaho people will
have day all to themselves about Sep

Der 81 Mrs. Jessie Elliott will have
charge OF the Seattle woman's depart
ment.
Bulls Interstate band, consisting of
forty picked musicians, principally from
Seattle aud Tacoma, is giving as mnch
pleasure to music lovers and music critics
as any Of the famous bands that have ap-
peared here heretofore and carried oil
most Of the gate receipts. Bull and his
men are earnest in their efforts TO furnish
good music. and even conservative MFR.
Bull has taken sufficient belief in the
praises heaped upon him and his men to
conclude that his judgment was sound
when he announced that he could get
together, a band on Puget sound that
would merit all the applause given il.
The fair will be open tomorrow, sun
day, and band concerts will hereafter be
one OF the Sunday features. Tonight
