This was Petersburg Day at thsI
southside Fair. and with pleasant
weather prevailing. there was Q record
attendance on the grounds. II 10 es-
timated that approximately $4,000
people crowded on the srounds And
many hundreds from the counties ad-
jacent were there too. The crowd to.
night was equally as large. AZ COM
pared with last year the street car
company has carried a largely In
creased number OF passengers to the
fair each day. and the gate receipts
have been larger. In some few re-
spects the fair does not equal that Of
last year. but in q great many respects
II 10 tar superior. and shows up to
greater advantage. and everybody 10
pleased. In its agricultural. poultry.
arts and crafts. machinery. horse AND
industrial departments the exhibition
compares tavoraD.y with any fair
ever held in Virginia, and In products
and progress the Southstde counties
show up wonderfully. All around the
race track this afternoon. where there
was standing room. peopie-women as
well as men-were packed twelve to
fifteen deep.
Tomorrow is Richmond Day and the
closing day Of the fair. Mayor Ainslie
, and OfiictaI party and large delega-
tion OF Richmouders will be over.
