Daily Attendance at the Fair

Today the, same enthusiastic spirit
seeems to pervade the atmosphere at
the fair ground that was evident yes
terday. The second days events prom
Use to be equally as interesting as the
first and the attendance appears to be
somewhat better. The fair officials an
nounced this morning that the attend
ance Yesterday was 1920. This figure
is slightly in advance of the first days
attendance last year and it is remark
able from the fact that the first day is
hardly expected to bring forth very
great results. On every hand there
seems to be wide spread opinion that
the fair management has done it's work
well. The work in the grounds in prep
aration for the weeks entertainment
stiu continues. There is much to be
done in that line in the way of finish
ing touches but in general everything
seems to be in place and in working
order. In so far as the weather is con-
cerned there is no direct indications
that the fair will not be favored with
dry and clear weather. The cool brac
ing atmosphere has almost eliminated
the possibility of rain and it is now
expected that the larger crowds COM
ing from the country points will begin
TO arrive tomorrow.
The crowds at the ground were ear
lier in attendance today than usual and
much interest is still being taken in the
exhibits in the horticultural hall. The
Nez Perce county exhibit of fruit,
grains and grasses has been most ar
tistically arranged under Superintend-
ent Bell and today the finishing touches
were added The Asotin county exhibit
still attracts wide attention and it is
now conceded that Asotin will carry
off the beautiful silver cup to be pre-
sented by the association.
The ladies of the Tsceminicum have
completed the tagging of entries in the
"fine arts and household' division.
