The crowds at the 1919 fair In Sal

the week before. so that Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday were really fair
days as well as the three days fol-
lowing. Indeed the outer gates were
thrown wide open TO offer the free-
dom OF the city TO all comers even
thus early.
The frst OF the attractions to ar
rive was the birdman. w. A. Burx.
OF Okmuigee. Oklahoma, who came
by stage from Amstead. and the
next was the aggregation that ar
tends the merry goround. The en-
tire day Tuesday was spent in as
sembiing the flying machine appa-
chinery. which came by train the
evening before.
