II was stated on the authority OF a
that over 70 automobiles passed that
point yesterday afternoon for Wheel
ing. Machines in great numbers were
here from other directions. according
TO the license tags. swelling the at
tendance OF local machines to over
800. According to a number OF oh
servers several hundred cars were
counted in the infield alone and these
mingling with fully as many horse
vehicles. gave the infield a very lively
appearance.
One Of the most interesting exhibits
on the grounds is the booth OF the
Ohio County Anti-tuberculosiS league
In the cattle department. The booth ID
arranged as a model dairy and cert
fed milk Is sold. The milk is fur
nished by the famous Hilltop Farm
herd OF Ayrshires, owned by Antor
feymann and is donated by him &c
the society. Members OF the Nurses
Alumni Association are in charge anC
circulars treating the disease are dis
tributed. The demand for the milk II
greater than the supply.
The stable where the little Shetland
ponies are kept. was the center o
attraction for the children yesterday
and many little tots were heard beg
ging their parents To buy the cut,
little animals for them.
Judging from the worn by fair Wis
itors yesterday, persons were In at
tendance from practically every cit,
within a radius OF fifty miles in this
and adjoining states. Many pennantl
were from Pittsburgh, Charleston
Parkersburg. Clarksburg, Weston anC
other cities.
Yesterday was school children's day
at the big show and several Thousand
were in attendance. Not only wer'
the ward schools closed during the AT
ternoon. but schools I'm many OF IN,
rural districts were closed the entir,
day. Some OF the delegations wor,
banners with the name OF thei
school
With hundreds OF chickens cackling
ducks qdacking and geese Kissing. IN,
poultry department WAS probably tn,
noisiest place on the grounds but tn
noise did not brighten away tn
crowds. as II was one OF the mos
rslar exhibits.
The Fairgrounds exhibit In the ives
end Of the exposition building Is al
tracing the attention Of all who pas
that way. and Is winning much merit
ed praise. Some OF the work OF IN
children Is exceptionally well done
and the display as a whole IL interest

Just as the aviator left the cart
on the second flight yesterday a Ions
