special pains were taken to see that they
saw the show in detail. A large attend,
ance of st. Paul people was expected.
The afternoon and evening attendance
at the fair, yesterday greatly exceeded
that Of the opening day. It was con-
servatively estimated that not less than
$4,000 people passed through the gates.
All Of the shows and features Of the big
fair were in good working order, except
the loop the loop, which was not at
tempted, owing to the continued delay in
shipment Of the heavy specially designed
wheels with which the feat is ordinarily
executed. The wheels got in last even
ing, and it was announced that the loop
would be Topped to-day. E. ]. Kilpatt
rick, whose wheel collapsed in an at
tempt to ride the loop Monday, spent yes
terday in bed as result Of the bruises
sustained in falling t:'. ~
A fire which badly damaged the booths
Of Browning, King & Co, the k1mball
Piano company and the New England
Furniture and Carpet company, caused
considerable excitement in Industrial
street yesterday afternoon. The special
=
responded promptly and extinguished the
blaze, which was being fercely famed by
the high wind prevailing at the time.
The search light on the Masonic Tenn
