was seeking his or her own enjoyment,

DIDN'T GO TO THE FAIR.
Strange to say, there were thousands

hour OF the afternoon the streets were
still comfortably filed. The raised steps

In the evening when the fair grounds
began to again vognit forth its black,
seething tide OF humanity, the streets
became impossible. The home cyclists

the crowds were c!amorous, and savage
in their demands for more filling.
Then after supper, or a least after
portion had received their supper, the
streets filled up again. The jam OF the
parade came. Then there was a rush
for the depots. The street in front OF
the Carey hotel was blocked waiting for
Bryan TO appear on his way to the Au-
ditorium. Then Fourth street leading
to that building became jammed.
NO PLACE TO SLEEP.
Then came the parade and then where

word of complaint. Many were given
places in the police station while others
were only too glad to lay down on the
benches in the Salvation Army tent on
North Main street. 1t was a great day
and more people were here than ever
visited the city on any other one occa-
sion.
NOTES OF THE DAY.
All the exhibits on the grounds re-
ceived more attention yesterday than
on any day previous.
The first words Bryan uttered yester-
day were a warning 10 those present TO
beware of pickpockets.
The display by the Frisco road was an
artistic one in every manner. and re-
ceived the greater attention Of the eX-
hibts.
One Of the amusing Of the many char
acters to be seen at the fair was a little
seedy looking man selling all the latest
songs. etc. He was a study.
Fairmount college yesterday closed
school for the day in order that all
students and instructors could near

The absence of enthusiasm shown a
the fair grounds while Mr.. Bryan spoke
was marked. Not flag was waved
nor a horn sounded in all that vast
multitude who heard him.
Some Of those who secured good places
in the quarter stretch drove out before
9 O'Clock and remained at the same
place until after the speaking. Many
took their dinners with them.
