this being Grange day. There were
thousands of visitors on the grounds
a few hours after the opening of the
gates. The farmers not only came
themselves, but brought their fam
lilies with them. At noon the man
agement estimated there were 10000
people present, and 1t was thought
that the afternoon and evening add
ton would swell the attendance to
$1,000, about 10000 more than Tues
days total attendance. For their
entertainment the officials provided q
special ban concert in the grove dur
ing the morning, and arranged to have
the judging of the live stock done
under the shade of the big trees
where the farmers were able to view
the work In comfort.
Tuesday evenings horse show and
fireworks display brought the second
day to successful close. 1t was a
busy day for the officials, the thou
