THURSDAY WAS A RECORD
BREAKER FOR ATTENDANCE

Thanksgiving Day saw a record
breaking crowd at the fair. Most
every one is agreed that the crowd
was the best in many years, if not the
largest ever seen in the fair grounds.
Mr.. ]. X. Christian of Mcintosh, said
it was the largest crowd he had ever
seen at fair in Florida. AS matter
of fact, Thursdays was almost state
fair, for the attendance was from the
most remote sections of the state
and automobiles bearing tags from
almost all of the courties of the state
were here. In the large field in the
northwest corner of the 40-acre fair
grounds, place of at least ten acres,
there were hundreds of automobiles
and horse drawn vehicles; in fact, is
was veritable "sea of autoes." The
crowd, at its greatest, at o'clock In
the afternoon, was variously estimat-
ed at from five to fifteen thousand
people, so widely do the ideas of a
crowd differ in the minds of different
men. We would place the crowd, con-
servatively, at between six and seven
thousand. There were great many
FIRE tickets, many attaches of the fair
and shows, many season tickets and
children under age, and the actual
sale of tickets for the day at the gate,
as reported by Mr.. Albert Gerig, was
1858. The amount of money taken at
the outer gate by Mr.. Gerig was
$1516.50 and he checked up twenty live
cents over. The grand stand ticket
sales amounted to $402. The conces-
sion money and few season tickets
sold at the office would probably run
the total receipts up to $4,000 for the
day.
We have not heard of single acct
dent, collision or trouble of any kind
III the handling of the vast crowd.
1t was wise provision of the man.
agement to have all vehicles pass out
of the grounds at the new gate open
ed in the western end of the grounds,
instead Of through the main entrance
gate, as heretofore.

panic.
Beneath the dead tree Jack Williams
woke from his ftful dreams of the
diamond and the desire that oi1sessed
him for it. He saw the great dead
tree was burned almost through at the
bottom and wavered. 1t was on his
lips to scream a warning TO his sleep

There was crackle. tearing sound
and then the great dead tree bent
over and crashed down. crushing the
sleeping man beneath it. A shower of
sparks rose in the air from the rup-

til the tree had fallen.
Ere yet his writhing comrade died.
