Perfect order was maintained on the
grounds at all times, there being suffi-
cient number of special police on the
grounds and streets to keep everybody
in good order There was however, no
disturbance and little drunkenness,
rather remarkable fact in such great
crowd.
The array of fruits and vegetables was
lamentably small, due, no doubt to the
early date of the fair and also because
of the long dry spell. This feature of
the, fair this year is not as conspicuous as
as some of the other features, a fact
which is much to be deplored.
