rainy day did not prevent the gather
ing of a large crowd at the fail
grounds yesterday and the attendance
demonstrated beyond a doubt that the
popularity of the Bourbon Fair has MOI
waned in the passing of years.
From early morning the crowds be
gan to gather in coming by all sorts
of conveyances, such crowds as USED
to gather here years ago.
1t takes more than a gentle rain tt
keep thousands from the Bourbon
Fair on Thursday, which is always the
''big day." There was not enough rail-
to settle the dust, and the crowd tina
was in attendance was very gratifying
to the management, though there i!
no doubt that the number would have
been almost double had not the glom!
skies kept many away.

! sented and every part of Bourbon
| county sent good delegations.
