citing one and quite different one from
the rest
All nations day was celebrated by ex-
hibitors and some foreign eoncessionaires,
and the celebration was followed by a
horse show in tte recreation grounds. The
festivities did not pass of, however. with
out accident, which left three men very
sore and marred their pleasure. AS the
parade OF nations was about TO enter the
north gate, w. II. Daily, chief of the traffic
department, ana grand marshal of the pro-
cessioD. was thrown from his horse by the
saddle-girth breaking. He sustained a
fracture Of the right arm. and later on
spent some time in the emergency hospital.

snail in his place.
