 All attendance records for any former fair held in this section were , broken yesterday at the Northern ' Arizona Fair when over 2,000 people passed through the gates at the , grounds to view the many large and : excellent exhibits and witness the track program scheduled for Navajo Apache day. Two of the grandstands and majority of the boxes were fill ed and more interest even was evinced in the program than on the day before when the Kilties were an added attraction. Frank Brown, treas urer of the Fair Association, declared yesterday that the gate receipts were larger for the one day than the associ- ation had ever before realized
 l With the arrival of the first train at the grounds in the morning the crowd through the exhibit tents and buildings was continuous until the starting of the program at 2 o'clock in the afternoon when all found their way into the boxes and grandstands.
 That the exhibits in every branch and division of the fair are bigger and better than at any previous eX- position was vouched for by the many favorable comments of people who had visited the previous fairs. The entire Fair Association is well pleased with the attendance record and de- clare that the fair is one big success financially as well as in the exhibition end of it.
