The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1909-11-11

Yesterday was the second day of the
Tri-County Fair, the attendance was
far ahead of the opening day and the
fair as a whole and the exhibits indi-
viduaIly were pronounced far superior
to anything ever seen in this section
OF the state The crowds OF yester-
day showed q cOloring from the Coun-
try that bespeaks the presence of
out-of-town visitors in large numbers
Every building was crowded during
the afternoon with visitors, and at
times it was almost impossible to
pass from one building to another.
Ladies in large numbers added their
presence to the thrOngs and the num-
Der to visit the woman's department
crowded that department to its utmost
There were many complimentary re-
marks on the excellence of the ex-
hibits, the large number and the very
tasty manner in which all we're ar
ranged. Everyone left well pleased
with the fair and many were agreeably
surprised at the extensiveness of the
show and especially at the farm and
garden products.
OVER 5000 ATTENDED.
Over three thousand persons passed
through the gates, according to the
officials last night, and it is expected
larger. The fine free attractions, the
excellence of music furnished by the
marine band, the many amusing con-
cessions added to the pleasure of the
visitors, and all were well patFohized.
Crowds collected about the various
amusement tents and at times por-
lions of the grounds were eongested
but all remained in the best of humor
and good order was maintained
throughout the afternoon and evening
Yesterday was set for the awarding
of premiums in the live stock depart
ment as well as in the womans de
partment, and the judges and clerks
were kept busy throughout the day.
The list of winners will be completed
by tomorrow and the successful ones
will be announced.
