with any previous year were broken.
The total attendance OF the week in
spite Of the rain OF yesterday and the
threatening clouds. was much larger
, than at sny ether fair ever held here.
| and. IL is thought, will surpass the at
tendance record OF any other fair i'm
the State with the exception OF the
State Fair. The Midway last night
was packed and damned. and one
could only move with difficulty. The
arandest of all the fireworks display
had aided In IRA wing these crowds,
but the other attractions came In for
generous patronage. concessoners
and shows in general were unanimous
In their statements that they had ex-
perienced the hest business here Of the
year.
Expect Big Crowd Today.
Tomorrow the same excellent at
actions will he staged. Three races
are promised for the afternoon, AMI
the usual line OF free acts. Tomor-
row night there will be the fireworks
display II is PAYDAY at the Dupont
works al Hopeweil, and the thousands
Of employees Of that company will he
in this city to take in the fair. There
ia no city In the country whose streets
are as crowded as Pefershurgs are
on a PAYDAY night at Hopewei. and
as the rain of last night kept numbers
from attending the fair, IL Is expected
that one OF the largest crowds of the
week will be In attendance.
