EATON, O., Oct. 1.-Estimated at
tendance Thursday at the Preble coun-
~ fair, always regarded as the big
day of the week, ranged all the way
from $4,000 to 10000. No means were
at hand to get accurate figures on the
crowds, but it is generally conceded
that the crowd outnumbered any
Thursday attendance within the mem
DRY of the oldest citizens.
Gates for automobiles and buggies
were closed and locked at noon, as all
parking space inside the fair grounds
was occupied. Hundreds of autos and
other vehicles parked in fields and
lots in the vicinity Of the grounds
Even with the great crush Of people
and traffic. Nc accidents was reported,
AS on Wednesday, the electric base
ball scoreboard on the grounds held
It's own against all other attractions
combined, including the races. Quite
a demonstration was staged by the
crowds when Cincinnati scored three
runs in the fourth inning and came
through at the final nine with a win
ming score of to 2.
The racing. events required five
heats in each event to reach a decis-
ion. After placing fourth in the first
two heats Of the 2:16 pace L. w.
Louise, Fayetteville, O., driver Of Har-
vest Queen, was fined $50 when he
won the third heat, for not trying to
win the first two, it was announced
from the judges stand. Crawford,
driver, of Elmer Finch, and Turner,
driver of Bob The Great, tied scores
at the end of the fifth heat Of the
2:18 trot and they decided to split
first money instead of racing off the
tie.
