In addition 70 being press day
Friday vas also scao1l day. The
city achool took recess. Several
state zchools were represented b.
the student bodies. Children were
I admitted free and tie OkIahoman es-
,!mated the crowd a. 31.011. The
| grand stand vas full and during the
races the visitors we're packed along
I the entire line ot the fence enclos-
Ing the race tracks While these
crowds were about the races the Md
Tay had its throngs, the different ex.
hlblt halls were crowded and the es-
tlmate Of 10000 Is probably right.
The music at the fair this year
Is finer than It has ever been. The
band employed Is a fayorite with all
I fha. r.frftrru ;
the musicians are taken first when
the crowds begin to throng the way
for the races in the afternoon and
for the different amusements Of the
evening. The evening was spent en-
ioyng the music, the fancy dancing,
| horseback riding, witnessing the
stunts Of the trained animals and the
/ fireworks. There was entertainment
for all and one Of the remarkable
pieces Of work was the perfect man
ner In which the street railway han
died the crowds.
In the rounds of day, in a visit to
every department there was not an
Individual observed who was drink
Ing, every face was wreathed in
smiles everybody was showing every
body else a good time. The book
makers at the races were conspicuous
by their absence The races were
az thoroughly enjoyed and there were
no broke men and women when the
last round was made as is the usual
| thing at state fairs.
The fair deserves the earnest sup
port Of every man in the state It
! IS a great show place that instills a
higher ambition to do something
! Farmers catch the light and 20 home
with greater determination to do
something Hogs that weigh from
1000 to /. POO pounds, the dairy herds
the fine mules, etc, are inspiring to
the agriculturist
All classes Of people visit the fair
An hour spent on a busy promenade
observing folks, just folks, is worth
the trip to the fair. The mother
was there with the plain black dress,
full skirt, basque style. She was
talking with her neighbor about the
best plans for raising tomatoes and
by her side was the woman from
the city overdressed in the prevail
ing fashions. She was talking the
magnificent display OF merchandise
and Of autos The rich and the
poor elbow throughout the day but
there Is a feeling OF harmony and
good will that makes the day most
pleasant.
The city of Oklahoma City makes
IT a rule TO entertain the newspaper
people Of the state one day at the
fair. The pencil pusher who fails
to take his wife and go misses the
best day of the year.
