ed one of the most encouraging weeks
ever seen at this or any other State
Fair
The receipts Of the day and night
were nearly $4,000, more than 81, 800
of which accrued from box office sales

utation of the city and the Fair. and
everybody went home happy.
Nobody had any complaints about the
program or the exhibits, and every de-
tail of the Pavilion show went forth
successfully, as planned. The ladies'
orchestra was the great feature of the
evening.

that matter, all day and last night,
Native Sons and visitors from abroad
came to the city to see the great Fair,
There was merry-mal1ing all day and
until a late hour at night, and when
the lights went out there was not a
question in anybodys mind that Admis-
sion Day had been fifty and eloquently
remembered. In the history Of the
State there has never been more enthu-
siasm, and it was a pretty sight to be-
hold SO many stalwart men and lovely
daughters of this great State working
the deeds of the ilIustrious pioneers who
planted civilization by these Pacific
shores.
The Reception Committees of the va
rious parlors were busy all day and un-
til the end of the Pavilion exhibition
and they left no stone unturned to
make the day and night so successful
that their memory viii never fade.
