line Of people reaching to the street
waiting their turn at the gate. A
glance over the grounds from an ele-
vation showed the masses of people
o advantage and gave one an ade-
luate idea OF the large number that
crowded the grounds. The grand
stand was filed long before the first
race was called, while the space set
aside for parking automobiles showed
nothing but q mass Of black tops.
The exhibits. the booths. the enter
;ainment enterprises, the Midway"
and the free vaudeville In front Of the
sraHdstand drew their patrons. There
was plenty for everyone to do and the
lay was enjoyed to the limit by the
merry. jestling throng. Picnic parties
we're In evidence and every shady spot
bad its lunch baskets and It's group Of
young people.
The day was hot and several cases
OF Illness brought on by the sun we're
treated At the emergency tent main
tanned on the grounds by the Della
ware Hospital. None OF these cases
was serious, however.
The tent has proven It's value since
the opening OF the Fair The physi-
clan and two nurses in charge we're
kept busy all day yesterday. The
most serious case was that Of Mrs.
John Plser. OF Middletown. who was
stricken with a chill. Her temper

Another person was burned with
gasoline and had 10 be given treat
ment. The record at the hospital
tent is Z cases treated Monday, 2
Tuesday, Wednesday and % yester-

A pretty feature in connection with
the band concert was sprung on the
people by the Fair management early
In the afternoon. The sudden explo-
sion Of a bomb IN the air above their
heads startled the crowds As they
looked up they saw a cloud OF smoke
and from II slowly emerged an Amer
lean flag hanging suspended from a
toy balloon. The flag foated slowly
over the grounds while the band
played THE Star Spangled Banner"
Souvenirs we're distributed by
many OF the exhibitors yesterday and
something 10 remember the Fair by
seemed 10 be carried away by every
person who visited the grounds. The
Industrial booths we're crowded all
day Many persons called at the
woman's Suffrage booth and wrote
their names in the register, signify
ing their sympathy with the cause.
The articles sold at the booth 10 help
out in the West Virginia suffrage
campaign found ready customers and
there was a big demand for souvenirs.
The booth conducted by the Woman's
Peace Party had many callers and
the literature distributed there was
eagerly received. Miss Bertha Sap
ovits, Congressional Union organizer,
was on the grounds during the after
noon and delivered an address to a
large audience.
The Charles Warner. OF this city, |
has a tent at the Fair, in which
moving picture Aim OF their quarry
and lime plant at Cedar Hollow is
shown. The pictures are exhibited in /
the daytime as well as at night. The I
advertising scheme, while costly, is |
decidedly effective.
The development OF the company's !
plant at Cedar Hollow has kept pace 1
with the many years naturalization |
of the company with the building I
trades and agricultural pursuits OF /
this city and vicinity. A few minutes /
attendance at the tent is enough 10 |
convince anyone that the concern con- /
ducts a large and expensive business /
