Originally they numbered 1000, but after 300 years they had increased hundredfold, and under Solyman the Magnificent they formed a force highly disciplined and noted for the wild lm- petuos!ty of their attack. The history of these janizaries abounds In con- spiracies and atrocities of every klnd' SO that at last they became more dan- gerous to the sultan than his foreign enemies. The lowest officers of thls force were the cooks, who were held ID the greatest esteem. They wore Wooo- en spoons in their turbans and on great occasions mustered round their kettles' which they turned upside down as a token of revolt.

 No definite figures can be given on the number of admissions. All that could be gathered from the manage ment was that the attendance is great CT than last year on opening day. Many went. no doubt. just to see the performance of Audubon Boy and while some of them will not go today, there will be others and every train is bringing new faces to town. A new face means one more admission. It was estimated that about 4OOO people crowded the grand stand, and 1000 more grouped about it. Anyhow, it was full, and at times more than that
 The entrance at one time was a per feet jam. and the overflow trickled down the stairweys, piled up against the fence and wrought the track guards into a frenzy Of impatience.
 Talk about live stock It will just be touched on hurriedly here, for to- morrow is the big horse and cattle show. From the entrance gate clear back to the horse barns is a row of new stalls along the west fence and nearly every stall is filled with a thoroughbred bovine or an equine of equally proud pedigree. They are all there. long horns and short horns and some with no horns at all. Big horses and little horses and some horses that are mules. Then there are some oth- CTS that are jackasses. Next comes the barns that are given over to the racing stock and the cultured and aris- tocratic breeding horses. There are horses in strings and punches and singles and doubles. Any effort to speak of them in detail would tie the strings in a hard knot and mix the punches and singles and doubles ire trievably. Beyond the equine Alps lie the sheep pens, the goat pens and the pig stys. Not Mary's little lamb. which from all accounts was only a mongrel sheep anyway, but big, fat. sleek. heavily coated, money makers from the ranges of the north, and biz fat hogs that weigh anywhere from a few hundred pounds upward, and little piggies that the clean frocked little girls tried their best to get their arms
