 THURSDAY.
 The second day of the fair was similar to the first in weather, but the crowd was the largest ever seen on the so- ciety's grounds, some 25, 900 people be ing in attendance. Long before noon every seat on the grand stand was oc cupied and people were glad to pay ths admission for standing room. The "fakirs" on the midway" reaped haf vest and some disposed of their wares before night threw a darkening veil over the grounds. The cattle had all beel, removed but the poultry and articles in the exhibition hall remained, and the large crowd seemed to be greatly pleas ed with these large displays.
