this fair up TO last night. The last fair
ran eight days and the total attend
ance was 81 AS. Then there were no
counter attractions. such as the Salt
Palace and bicycle and horse races else
where in the city. Today, the last, will
probably run the total attendance for
this fair TO over $4,000. IN these fig
ures. as much as in anything else, is
found positive proof of the great sue
cess of Ttah's twenty-second eXposi-
ton. BY their attendance the people at
test their appreciation of the innumer-
able attractions featured as exhibits
and otherwise.
Big Cnildren's Day.
Taking advantage of the holiday from
school. children of all ages swarmed an
through the fair grounds yesterday
BY actual count s, 457 paid dime to get

Some had guardians and many relied
upon their wits TO get around without
escort The children saw everything
that was on display. from the long
strings OF livestock to the exhibits in
the fine arts and educational depart
ment. Every yoUngster seemed TO have
a little spare cash for candy. popcorn
and gum. They would take look at
one department, buy some refreshments
and take in another department. The
shows on the Midway caught and en-
tranced all Of them.
Not q single serious ruiShap occurred
TO any Of the youngsters, but many Of
them got lost. In most cases the es-

their lost ones. only to find them at
home tired. but happy, with the days
experiences.
