DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 2f.-The at
tendance at the Dallas fair is so
per cent ahead of last year, accord
ing to President Yott Both Yott
and W. II. Stratton, secretary OF
the fair association, expressed great
qualification at the wonderful. sue
cess OF the exposition Weather
conditions have been ideal. except
one evening of rain. Prospects for
continued sunshine are favorable.
The fair this year has beer
marked by earlier attendance than
usual from out of town visitors to
the grounds. This is probably due
in a large measure to the wide pub
LEFTY given the special far attrac-
tons for opening day and the re-
markable support given by the
city on Dallas day. The r..'lways
and interurbans report a large bus
mess into the city Saturday and
Sunday. The rush is growing
daily.
