FAIR YESTERDAY
Entire Paid Attendance for
Week Reached Almost
Twelve Thousand.

Many wild guesses were current on
the streets today estimating the size
Of the crowd that attended the Fair
mont Fair yesterday on the last day.
Most Of these estimates placed the at
tendance between twelve and fifteen
thousand, many persons also stating
that the number Of automobiles park.
ed on the grounds would reach at least
one thousand. ...
Estimates as usual were entirely
wrong according to the statistics pre-
pared today by Sie auditing depart
ment OF the ASSOCIATION. The entire
number Of paid admissions yesterday
was but $685.. Probably 400 persons
went into the grounds on passes OF
various kinds including all Of the priv
ilege and hcrsemen. This would bring
the entire number present yesterday
up to about 5000. OF this number
about three thousand came to the
grounds In automobiles, while 6,4S1
passengers to the grounds were hauled
during the day by the Monongahela
Valley Traction company. OF this
number only 6,14O were hauled back
to the city. It is likely that the mum.
ber of passengers carried that failed
to pay their fare and thus not being In.
cluded in this count reached several
hundred.
The entire number OF automobiles
that paid admission yesterday was but
Ala while probably so additional cars
were admitted on passes or to deliver
groceries and supplies while perhaps
so taxis camo In after four o'clock to
haul passengers back to the city.
The entire number Of paid admis-
sions for the week reached 1857 and
5S2 automobiles paid to enter the
grounds during the three days. This
showing Is much better than either OF
the two previous Fairs, held on the
local grounds, as the rains Of last year
and the year before kept the crowd
down to very small proportions.
The Fair officials today are in the
main well pleased with the result Of
the meeting and arenow planning big
ger and better Fair for next year. A
plan is now under consideration for
the holding Of running meeting on
the local track which will last for an
entire week. The date Of this has not
been fixed but will likely be late in
September or October. ~

ing heretofore general among the
managers that plan to include an
eight hour day would be found was not
SO evident.
Some Of the railroad executives re.
yerted to their prediction that it never
would be conceded.
President Wilson kept the cabinet
waiting an hour while he conferred
with the four Brotherhood heads. All
parties to the conference steadfastly
refused to say what was talked about,
The railroad executives conferred
among themselves during tho day and
1t was thought possible they might la.
Ter so to the White House, For the ex.
ecutives this statement was issued:
THE executives are understood
to be studying the form OF a COM
munication to the President"
Some OF the more optimistic still
have hopes of a final decision being
reached before tomorrow night.
The opinion that the eight hour ba.
sic day will not be conceded apparent.
ly was growing as the conferences
continue.
The executives and managers deyot.
ed practically no time touay to con.
sideration OF freight rate increases or
settlement Of future strikes, but cen.

Many executives are willing to con,
cede an eight hour day with an under.
standing that it shall not only be the
maximum work day but also the min.
imum in other words, that the presen,

get pay for a day and half or even
two days, when he works only ten or
twelve hours will be eliminated,
The brotherhood heads declared they
are standing on President Wilson's
plan and had not changed their atti.
tude a particle.
AS the conferences among the rail.
way executives progressed it was said
the presidents were standing more
closely together for arbitration than
at any time since they had assembled
here and that some Of those who at
first were for accepting President vii.
sons plan had been brought over to a
majority which was described as
standing back to the wall"
1t was indicated that the communi.
cation beNg prepared for President
Wilson would contain further insist.
