time attendance, yet there was good
patronage at the afternoon perform
ance of Gollmar Bros.' Shows. Tht
bad condition of the roads was large
ly responsible for the absence of q

tance. The streets during the parade
in the morning we're pretty we'll lined
with spectators, many of them country
people. 1t was nearly noon before
the procession moved down our prin
