GREAT FAIR ATTENDANCE.
As Many People Present Yesterday a

on 6l9 LAY Las. car.
Des AIoines. Ia, Sept. 4.-The attend-
ance at the state fair yesterday was all
most equal to, if not in excess of, that
on Thursday OF last year This fact
has demonstrated the inutility of Sc
at the state fair for the profits yes
terGay even on n crowd % per cent. un-
der last year would still have been
greater than they We're on Thursday of
1904. when Dan Patch was the drawing
card. AS it was the net proceeds of
yesterday far exceeded those of 1904
on Thursday, and it is improbable that
the fair management will ever again
pay thousands of dollars for one fea-
ture which may eat up every cent of
the earnings of the day.
1t has been demonstrated also thai
the relay racers from Montana have
furnished the chief attraction before
the Erandstand.

fair management this year a net profit

$1,000 in cash is retained for the pur.
pose of affording a sinking fund for thu
eXigenCies Of the ensuing Year The
profits of this wear will be expended in
improvements i'm the fair grounds.
The fair management is anxious to
have a steel grandstand to hold 10000
people, to cost $4,000: a swine pa.
