Featured by the presence of Albert
w. Gilchrist, FIorida's bachelor gov
ernor, acting in the capacity of q
Judge, the baby show, which was fos-
tered by The Journal, at the Interstate
Fair was by far the biggest drawing
card on the program for Governors
Day." which was without doubt the
most successful and interesting day
OF the fair thus far. Fully two hun
ored babies were entered in the con-
test and hundreds of people fiocked
to the tent to get a peep at the little
tots. In fact, the only criticism that
could be made of the affair would be
to say that it was too gigantic a
success, the only trouble being that
the capacity Of the tent would not
begin to accommodate the crowds that
thronged the entrance and every avail
able opening in the hope of getting a
look a the babies.
To have comfortably accommodated
all who desired to see the baby show
would have required a tent the size
or the Barnum & Baily circus tent
TIE crowd was so congested in the
tent yesterday afternoon that the
judging was delayed considerably, It
being impossible for the judges to get
around among the babies with ease.
1t was the universal opinion of both
JuuSeS duo Spectators LQaL THIS was
the finest looking set Of children, taken
as a whole, they had ever seen to-
gether. and the judges admitted that
in some cases they had a hard task in
reaching a decision.
GOVERNOR MAKES A HIT.
Governor Gilchrist certainly made a
hit as judge, the care which he ex-
ercised exciting the admiration of even
those mothers whose idols were not so
fortunate as to win prizes. OF course.
the mothers whose babies did not win
the prizes cannot be expected to agree
with the governor and the other judges
as to their taste In making selections,
but they all admit that he carefully
inspected the exhibits and that it was
simply a matter Of taste and judE-
ment. Contrary to expectations, Gov
ernor Gilchrist took the matter quite
seriously and examined the wee little
tots as carefully as any expert judge
ever did any exhibit. sometimes going
over the classes three or four times
before expressing his opinion. F1orida's
chief executive certainly proved his
efficiency in a new and altogether un-
expected capacity yesterday, and, de-
spite the good-natured predictions. IL
