&C uight was very great. The side

0Toa1oot harvest after the going down
" the sun, when all the vast multitude
1o1 giveu themselves over to the car
hfval spirit that prevades tho entire
14poo1ti0n.
Every strest car going from the city
10 tia fair grounds was crowded al
throughOut the day and even until late
81 the evening and hundreds and per.
Aapo Thousands Of people found their
way % the fair BY means Of carriages,
wagons and the several private lines
q automobiles that piled between the
kaart Of the city and Kupfrian park.
Notwithstanding the crowds were Inn

"a. little difnculty In handling the
{hrong without delay or confusion.
ARRANGEMENT ADMIRABLE.
The general arrangement Of the fair
grounds are admirable. Perhaps It
could not 10 better. Besides being
v - ~ ND IN
txistenee, the park IN splsndidly adapt
u for the purposes Of great fair.
The streets for the concesBionsires and
~ side shows we're laid Cpt splendidly
end were arranged 30 that people pass-
fhgf 70 and from the main buildings
ana the race track have an opportunity
10 see all the extra attractions. The
sirships and the high divers were
4jlaced 10 that all In theSsrand stand
as well as elsewhere on the grounds
could see them.
The arrangement Of the live stock
and poultry were made 20 that every
exhibitor had plenty Of room and at
the same time the the visitor could
walk down the avenues and see every
thing In the shortest time possible to
view such large exhibits.
The large crowds in the fair grounds
all day were scattered all over the
place. At no one spot was there q
tam or q rush and neither way any
attraction without spectators all day
long.
The agricultural exhibits ana the
stock exhibits seemed to draw the
largest crowds because they were 80
excellent and so far surpassed the
expectations Of any Of the people In
attendance. No one in the entire cot
ton belt or gulf region Of the south
would have thought Il possible ten
years ago to have such an exhibit Of
agricultural products in this section.
II would have been beyond belief to
have prophesied such thing. But
the products are at tho Interstate fair
and they are present In large guam
titles and In the greatest nrcfusion.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS ARE
HAPPY.
The directors, officers and stockhold-
ers of the interstate Fair association
are happy, enthusiastic and sanGuine
OF great success. They put their
IN the face Of great odds and many
obstacles but the success Of the FIRST
two days Of the fair has proven thst
this institution viii be permanent and
that for years to come the Pensacola
Interstate Fair will be one Of the
great agricultural and Industrial insti-
buttons OF the southern states.
The Woman's Building was thfonged
all day with hundreds Of ladtes' and
&c was In . large measure headquarters
for al the ladies' who are visiting the
fair from the outside counties. II
