The fair opened Tuesday morning
with such response in the way of
!. exhibits and attendance as has never
been Witnessed here before. The at
4 tendance was more than double what
has been recorded at any previous
fair on the opening day and the
throngs we're not disappointed in
quantity nor quality when they looked
over the exhibits and went to the
shows.
Floral hall Is great bunch OF
beauty; one gratifying thing about II
this year being that there is no dust
to rise and settle on the exhibits to
hide their beauty or annoy the pub
Iic in viewing them. The art and
needle work department is the most
complete that 1t has ever been and
fruits and flowers and agricultural
products are there In profusion and
beauty.

CLUMSY CENSORSHIP METHODS.
The censorship which is being Maintained at
Lisbon over both commercial and press dis
patches is most rigorous. There IS in opera
lion a regular star chamber 10 prevent any ex-
cept the most rosy view OF the situation from
reaching the outside world. Even letters mailed
al the postottice are opened by The authorities.
The foreign newspaper correspondents who
aocked into Lisbon after The tragedy were COM
uIeteiv fooled for several days They were In
formed by telegraph officials high and low that
The censorship was virtually at end By this
means they were induced to file their messages
in Lisbon Put thousands OF the words written
by the newspaper men never got any further
than the wastcpaper basket The senders be-
came suspicious that they were being tricked.
and this belief was finally confirmed when sec
,ions OF news dispatches taken at random in
order completely destroy the sense OF the
text were returned to the writers.
The censorship applied in the most stupid
fashion Not only was everything representing
Portugal to be in other than a state of biissful
tranquility and deepest mourning eliminated
from the outgoing press reports, but whenever
a censor with half knowledge of foreign Ian |
guages saw a word that looked dangerous he |
would extract a whole sentence. regardless of |
the sense and meaning. AS an instance, dis |
patch sent by The Associated Press denying the /
reports OF an uprising" at OpOrto mutiiated |
by the arbitrary striking out of words like rev !
Diutionary" rifles" plot" etc. The use in any !
connection Of the words "regcide, dictator
ship" arms" 'bombs.' plots or the like was
usually sufficient TO have the message thrown
away regardless OF the connection in which the
words were used Statements that troops were
IN the streets Of Lisbon cancelled. and not
me word regarding the financial situation
allowed to pass the censor.
