If the state armory in which the Business Mems exposition is being held was crowded Tuesday night, it was packed last evening. Between 8 and o'clock the central aisle was so jammed that those entering on the exposition floor had to go down either the right or left aisles, if they wished to roye about. Around the central booth which Is occupied by both the English 6s-Merslck company and the Schwartzchild and t& Sul9beFger Pack ing company, 1t was one surging mass, of humanity. A conservative estimate would place the number of persons present at o'clock aI about 5000, and one of1the members of the execu- tive committee told Courier repre- sentative that the number of people coming and going would be much in excess of that number The same gentleman said that the crowds thus far were at least 25 per cent. larger than those of either oft preceding years, and he thought that by the end of the week the percentage would be nearer 50 than 25 greater.
 Last evening was Business Mems night, and there were delegations present from most of the twenty-five Business Mems associations of the state. There were delegations from Bridgeport, Meriden, from Naugatuck, Shelton, Derby, Ansonia, Wallingford, Milford, Hartford, Manchester, Bran ford, and Danbury. F. w. Mills, the treasurer of the State Business Mems association, was one of the members of the Manchester delegation. The local association offered them the keys to the exposition and gave them carte blanche" At 9:30 the visitors were invited to step into the Foot Guard room where President Ralph S. Pagter welcomed them for the locals, In a few well chosen words. Light refreshments were then served the delegates and a vaudeville enter eainment was given by the members of the Expo-Mus troup.
 The fact that the up and down state business men enjoyed themselves was more than self evident. The fair demonstrators in the various booths where good things to eat were served were kept busy supplying the wants of the visitors. They, one and all, went away with their minds made up to have an exposition in their own cities and towns.
