Albuquerque day was expected TO
be big day in the matter of attend
ance at the twenty-sixth fair, and 1t
was quite as big as expected. In fact
the day was the biggest in the history
of the Fair association.
Our records are not complete yet" !"
said Manager McCanna last night
there were large numbers of tickets
sold down town for which we have not
yet received returns, but think may
safely say that as far as we know now
the gate receipts for the day will cx-
eeed the best day the association has
ever had, by more than $500.
Everybody paid who went into the
grounds yesterday. Manager McCanna
solemnly marched to the front gate
and laid down his half a dollar, Presi-
dent Luna bought tickets for a party
of friends, the reporters hunted care
fully through their clothes for enough
money to get inside--in fact the whole
free list was suspended yesterday ana
the surprising jump in the gate =
ceipts was the result for it seemed
that the charging of admission kept no
one away. Long before o'clock the
grandstand was crowded with stand
ing room only and mighty little of that
while the crowd OverilOWcd along the
track over the bleachers and into the
circle where there was considerable
difficulty in keeping them from under
horses feet and out of the way of wan
derng base balls. 1t was a tremen-
dous crowd, one of the largest ever
seen in the fair grounds and the day
from every standpoint was a complete
success.
Last night Railroad avenue was
crowded as on the night before from
early In the evening until midnight,
and the street in the carnival district
was again strewn with confetti. Indeed
one of the features of this fair nls
been the large crowds on the streets
at night Every night has looked like
carnival night and with the crowds
i'm town tomorrow night will probab'E
see Railroad avenue packed with Il
seething mass of confetti throwing hu-
manitv.

Albuquerque DAY Was
Biggest In History of
The Fair Association
Idea Of Crowd Given By Traction Com
pany Records Showing 1880 People
Carried During the Day

Some idea of the crowd at the fair
grounds yesterday is given by the fact
| that the Traction company carried 49,
500 people during the afternoon to and
from the grounds. Add to this the
number who went In private vehicles.
on foot and in carriages and ii is easy
to see why there was $500 advance
in the gate receipts.
To-Day will prODaoly see another big
crowd at the fair grounds, for the pro-
gram for the afternoon is quite as il-
| teresting as that of yesterday
The running race feature of the af-
ternoOn is the mile handicap in which
all but one or two of the horses whicn
made the derby run are entered. Las
Vegas and Albuquerque will play base
ball at 1880 and if Albuquerque wins
this game the Browns are sure Of first
money in the tournament.
The Indian boxing match will go
again this afternoon when Queensbur2
rules will be enforced. There was lit
tie butting yesterday and some hitting
in the clnches, but Arthur Cavanaugh.
manager of the Browns has been ap-
pointed referee for the bout today and
he will see to it personally that there
will be no chewing of ears. The bal
loon race which is proving one 1f the
chief features at the grounds, will 80
again this afternoon.
Tonight the Indians will dance on
Railroad avenue and Russell will 10
his dive at 10 o'clock The carnival IS
doing a rushing business this week, AL
of the shows have been crowded every
night and the attendance seems to
grow bigger every evening.
Tomorrow night the streets in WHICH
confetti throwing and masking is al
lowed will be roped off and while av-
erybody is invited to be in mask within
the limits, masking and confetti out
side will be prohibited.

Into Hanover GuICh-NO

Correspondence Morning Journal.
Hanover, n. NJ, Sept. 20.-Thun-
dering down steep grade at a speed
of fully a hundred miles an hour, a
mixed freight and passenger train on
the Hanover FierrO branch of the
Santa Fe jumped the track at Par
sons curve, a short distance below
here and plunged down a hundred
feet into Hanover gulch. Although
the passenger coach was loaded with
passengers and several were severely
injured, no one was killed, the escape
of the inmates of the ear being moth
ing less than miraculous. MissZ. Sharp,
who was enroute to Hanover to take a
position as stenOgrapher, William
Benton and James Towson. were all
painfully injured internally but it is
not believed their injuries are serious.
Nine freight cars and the passenger
coach were reduced to kinding wood.
The wreck occurred between nine
and ten o'clock at night. At the wa
ter tank at Hanover the engine was
uncoupled from the train to take wa
ter and do some switching. The train
was left standing on the track just at
the summit of the grade. The hand
brakes were not set. The escaping
air allowed the brakes to loosen and
the train started. In half a minute the
string of cars was plunglng at a ter
rife speed down grade and around
sharp curves in the darkness. Al
Parsons curve. two miles from Han
over, going at a speed of at least one
hundred miles an hour, the runaway
] train plunged from the rails and shoI
down into Hanover gulch. a hundred

Topeka, kas, Jan. ia total
shortage In the Kansas state treasury
OF about $4,000 is shown by the report
of Accountant Morris in the treasury
examination just closed, according to
a summary of the report prepared by
Governor e. W. Hoch. made public

the transactions made by the state
treasurers from Jan. ], 1898, to June
80, 1905. including the two full terms
for former State Treasurer Frank E.

OF the administration of Thos. T.

The bulk OF the shortage appear n

Grimes administration.
OF the total OF $4,000. 100000 is
due to missing coupons from bonds
owned by the state school fund and
$4,000 is due TO the loss OF interest on

There was no provocation for the re-
