When Governor Albert W, GilcAriHt
of Florida, speaking from n rostrum at
the Kupfrian Park grandstand at noon
today, addresses TO those assembled
there the words of formal opening of
the 1912 Pensacola Interstate Fair
there is little doubt in the minds Of
thousands who visited the Fair grounds
yesterday that his words win inauEu-
rate the greatest exposition which has
ever brought together the urban and
suburban ,opulace Of West Florida and
South Alabama.
With several of the larger exhibits
yet to arrive from points in Florida
and Alabama and most OF the shows
yet to get into place, all arrangements
were not completed up to midnight
last night. Still, judging, merely by
what was already before them upon
the grounds and the scant idea of what
will be shown gathered from the out
side of the exhibition buildings and
tents, 1t was plainly the idea of the
throng yesterday afternoon tAat it win
be a thoroughly live and successful
Fair.
THOUSANDS VISIT GROUNDS.
In announcing that the grounds
would be open Sunday to visitors Sec
retary N. ]. Lillard made It plain that
none of the buildings would be open
and that there would be no shows IN
operation.
The limitations imposed upon the
public did not hold IL back. however,
and by noon the nucleus OF an assem-
blage which numbered thousands at
four O'Clock had invaded the park.
West Hill cars running on regular
schedule were soon unable to accom-
modate the rush for the grounds and
by mid afternoon every car that could
be manned with the Sunday force OF
motormen and conductors available
was running. In strings of three and
four they ran about every twenty min
utes for several hours during the az
ternoon and evening. At about fvN
O'Clock the rush for home began and
from then until well onto eight o'clock
all cars in were loaded TO the running
boards
RULES FOR VEHICLES.
Besides the crowds that reached
the grounds by trolley, hundreds went
in automobiles. in wagons or on foot.
By four o'clock there were fully n
hundred automobiles parked I'm the re-
served space to the right of the en-
trance and the ground rules for auto
mobiles and other vehicles entering

The rules are that no automobile or
vehicle excepting those which will
take part in the various track events

trance, on the midway or beyond the

Nearly all Of the exhibits are on the
grounds and in place and those yet to
come which will have most effect In

terday are the community exhibit from
Florala and the county exhibits from
Jackson and Baldwin counties.
These will take up every remaining
