LINCOLN. Neb., sept S.-(Special.l-
Overhanging clouds and threatened rain
did not seem to dampen the Rrdor of the
people who desired TO see the Nebraska
state fair this morning.
At noon il had been decided by the
management TO attempt to have the races,
but the track was pretty heavy at the
time. Lincoln Beachey, who made the
first ascent OF the day in his aeroplane
about noon, assured the management that
the air seemed lighter above the low
hanging clouds, and taking courage from
the Beachey tip. it was decided to make
the attempt to carry out the race track
program.
As yesterday. Beachey made several
good flights during the day, the high
wind not seeming to bother him at all.
He made the usual upside-down flights
and looped the loop as easily as IL there
were no breeze stirring. Beschey has
caught the crowd. who appreciate the fact
that he cares little for conditions and
makes his flights strictly on time
Grounds Large Enough.
Many people were surprised at the in
creased attendance yesterday, it seeming
20 be the opinion that the crowd was
smaller than on previous years The So
luton of 1t all is the AGRICULTURAL and
horticultural hall. In former years these
displays have been in the center Of the
grounds and naturally drew the crowds.
with the new hall located on one side, the
crowds have been drawn to that locality,
leaving the usually congested center un-
crowded and spreading out the crowd over
larger territory.
The better baby contest is held again
this year in the new agricultural build
ing and Is the center of interest there.
The management of that contest has linn
tied the number of entries this year and
the result has been more satisfactory, as
more time can be given to the number OF
entries and there will not be disappointed

baby was a better baby than the one who
took first prize"
