day to play against. the grand total
for the week $4,000 more than it was
last year, or approximately 242,000.
The official total for the first five
days was 217,493, as against 206,025 for
the first five days in 1902, and 227.989
for the entire week of 1902. Yester-
days crowd of $4,000 broke the Satur-
day record and set the weeks record
$4,000 higher. Had it not been for the
unfortunate weather of Thursday,
which until this year had always been
the record day, the 1903 attendance
would undoubtedly have reached the
mark set by Secretary Randall when
he saw Mondays crowd overrun the
grounds in numbers unthought for
first day.
Saturday was a great day for the
fair, not alone from the standpoint of
the management, but equally so from
the public'S standpoint. The day, so
far as weather was concerned, was the
pleasantest of the week, and the at
fractions were equal to those offered
any day of the week.
Yesterdays crowd was a surprise to
the management. The crowd, which
came early and stayed late, came to
see the fair, the races and the big show
in front of the stand, and it got every
thing Oh the programme. Not even the
burning of the club house was permit
ted to interfere with the racing card,
beyond delaying slightly the start of
the first harness race.

club house fell the managers had a

NOTABLE CONTRACTS.
The c. E. Tayntor Granite Co. VIII
Execute Fine MausoIeum Work,

The G. e. Tayntor Granite Co. have
secured the contract for a mausoleum
which, when completed, will cost s2S,-
900, the largest mausoieum contract the
company has executed here; it was
made with f. F. Young, a Jersey City
bank president.
The mausoleum will be an exact copy
of the Parthenon at ancient Athens, al
though of somewhat smaller dimen-
sions. The Parthenon, the Temple of
Minerva, at Athens, is one of the most
celebrated of the Greek temples and is
usually regarded as the most perfect
specimen of Greek architecture. His
tory relates that it was designed by
Pericles with the help of the great
Phidias. Forty-two great columns sur
rounded the structure itself, supporting
architrave and roof. The approaches
beautifully proportional steps sur
rounded the structure.
AS before stated the mausoleun.
which will be the counterpart of this
beautiful temple. will be somewhat
smaller in size: % feet, inches long,
20 feet wide and II feet high. The
three roof stones will be each 81 feet
anu nicHeS long ana Ieet ana olilcneS
wide. Sixteen Doric fluted columns will
support the architrave. The front will
be deliberately ornamented and the nu-
merous columns will make a graphic re-
production of the famous temple.
The duplicate Pathenon at Rome was
visited by Mr.. Tayntor, last year, when
measurements We're taken.
The approaches are by triple steps
cut in stone. so that four pieces of
granite enclose the building.
