With all stores closed, and many
factories shut down Thursday, so that
their occupants might take in Gov
ernors day at the fair. Waterville did
not. as might be suspected, assume the
air of quiet tdieness which the lack OF
doing business would usually bring
about. In fact, Waterville seemed
more than perhaps ever before to put
on the masque of metropolis. Arriv-
ing trains brought hundreds of people
from Central Maine all bent upon Wit
Messing their fair on its banner day.
One train alone. morning special from
Newport yielded its conductor tickets
from 79S passengers. A. man on one of
the roads leading into waterville
counted 566 automobiles headed in this
direction, Thursday forenoon. Despite
the enormous crowds that packed the
Fair Grounds the city streets were
thronged almost from sunrise to moon
set. The facility with which these Wis
iters were accommodated in their need
for transportation back and forth from
the grounds was highly estimable and
many compliments were passed upon
this matter. Thursday has the reputa-
ton of being the big" day in the an
nails or the central Maine Fair but
judging from evidence it is good as
sumption that it will give hot compe-
tition TO claim. The fine exhibition pre-
scented in the last few days and the fine
program scheduled for today has led
many. if not a majority. to remain
over. These. with the hundreds of
newcomers who Will arrive this morn
ing should give hard pressure toward
Thursdays mark of attendance at the
Fair.
