 gates at the fair grounds yesterday, par tially due to the visit of the President. The crowds gathered early in the day, and by the time the races were started at clock the grandstand was well hlied and several thousand people were scatter ed throughout the grounds. The exhibits in the various buildings are about in place now and only two or three remain to be completed Workmen were working on the exhibits practically all Monday night and until the crowds gath cred yesterday morning, and the result was that only about dozen of the eX- hibits are not finished.

They will continue to arrive until tonight or to- morrow morning, and they are being put in place just as rapidly as possible From early morning until late at night the crowds were pouring through the various exhibit buildings, and at times It was impossible to get about the grounds with any speed on account or the num- Der of people.
