st. Paul, Sept. 4. Five thousand
more people visited the state fair yes.
terday than ever before in single day
in its history. Records for even the
"big days" Of the fair were broken.
The crowd is estimated at 48,O0O.
There was nothing but the magni-
tude of the state fair to draw such a
crowd. Officially yesterday was des.
ignated as farmers day." The pro-
gram was no more attractive or more
extensive than on the preceding days,
and there were no additional induce
ments to attract an extraordinary at
tendance. It was simply the biggest
and best Minnesota state fair that
brought out the people.
The attention of the visitors during
the afternoon was divided between the
grandstand, where the races were in
progress, and the sale of Hereford cat
tie in the big show tent.
The state fair officials are convinced
that the arrangements are more COM
plete for the state fair than ever be-
fore. Every detail has been given
proper attention, with the result that
the people are better provided for than
In former years.
