LINCOLN, Sept. 2.-(SpeciaI.)-"We are
more than pleased with the attendance at
the fair thus far" said Secretary Furnas to-
night, Yesterday the gate receipts we're
over twice as large az those of any opening
day In the history OF the fair. Almost as
much can be said for today, though have
no actual hkuRes''
The fisheries building, located near the
railroad entrance and within a few yards Of
the headquarters and agricultural buildings,
continues a center Of attraction. 1t is a
small building. but by careful management
OF the crowds fully as many people are
enabled to pass through as In any Of the
larger ones.
The fisheries display is under the charge
Of Fish Commissioner o'Brien and Game
and Fish Commissioner simpkins and Car
ter. The facilities this year for keeping
the hsh are better than before, for the water
supply is larger. eve don't claim any credit
for this exhibit" said Mr.. Carter, speaking
for himself and Mr.. Simpkins. "It is all
due to o'Brlen. He knows more about
FISH than all the other men In the depart
=s3t."
The University of Nebraska is there with
an exhibit Of wide interest. The dairy
school occupies a large portion OF the dairy
building, showing improved methods Of
uhiEyluBs III tnB AGRICULTURAL DullQlnK the
state farm makes a practical demonstration
of the results Of experimentation and edu.
cation In agriculture. A large number Of
grasses. grains and other products taken
from the variety OF tests, are shown in an
attractive way.
The first remark Of the visitor as he
comes upon the grounds is that everything
seems so much livelier than usual. The
hawkers keep up a continual din. shouting
crying and beating anything and everything
that will make noise. Even the church
bazars do not 20 down in submission to
the. professional "spIelers." They have
their wares to sell and they enter into
friendly competition in all matters Of the
voice. 1t is "Here's-the- Observation-Disclosures
ground" everywhere you go. There is
no discrimination upon the part of spiel
ers."
Som Of the churches and religious or
CARNATIONS have erected permanent build
ings on the grounds, fitted up with kitchens,
rain-proof roofs and doors and windows
that will AFFORD protection from the dust
whenever necessary.

hundred thousand dollars from the Union
