is true in the cattle department and the

derful one and the building devoted TO
exhibits from this scat of learning is
crammed full of interesting things. The
chief attraction for many were the full
blooded cows whose ability to give ex-
traordinary quantities of milk of an un-
usual richness were the course of wonder
TO the spectators. The cows-peaceful
creatures-were not disturbed by the
thousands of curious eyes that gazed on
them, but kept on quietly chewing their
''cud, entirely ignorant OF the stir they
were creating.
The presence at the fair of S. Hope Will
son, the secretary, who has been i'll for
several weeks, was q big surprise to his
hundreds of friends. "Hope" could mt be
kept at home. He was determined to be
there and exercise some of the supervi
sion of the yearly display that is his big
object in life and In which he takes the
greatest pleasure.

trainer of his horse walked about the
track and this gave rise to the rumor that

10 give an exhibition race during the fair.
In fact those interested in the fair dis
cussed with Mr.. Riddle the chance of his
bringing the speedy horse here, but failed
to get any encouragement. They didn't
stop however, but are still hoping to OBJ

CHILDREN S DAY
Continued from page l


At the Child Health Centre, on the
fair grounds, yesterday, IS babies were
examined, of whom eight were awarded
blue ribbons.
Yesterdays showers and almost con-
slant drizzle, was big disappointment
10 the patrons of the Fair, but not half so
much for them as for the management.
They saw go glimmering, any chance to
break even on the expense this year, no
matter how large the crowds are the re-
naming four days of the exhibit But the
weather Is something that no one can
guard against, and the only thing to be
done was TO accept il as il comes as philo-
sophically as possible.
RAIN KEPT CROWD DOWN.
The rain kept the crowd down to one
fourth the number that was expected and
"-hlch would have undoubtedly attended
Il the weather had been good. But the
band concerts and the vaudeville pro-
gram IN part and the athletic meet and
running races went off Just about rs usual,
the horse races taking the place OF the
auto races. The horse show began in the
morning and continued throughout the
rain. There are so many entries this wear,
that the Judging begins at 10l5 and con-
tnues until nearly o o clock with a brief
interInission for lunch.
Many Of the concessions and exhibits
were much larger than last wear. In the
grain and forage department, there are
SO many exhibits, that the supervisors do

have visited other fairs in the east say
that the fair this year ID ~ large ~ my
and much larger than many county and
State exhibits.
One of the new features this year Is
the tractor demonstration. In the big
forty acre field in the south Of the fair
grounds demonstrations Of ploughing,
narrowing and thrcshing will be given
every morning from 10 to IL O'Clock.
This way of saving man power, shows the
latest model of machines and is big
attraction for grangers.
The machinery exhibit is larger than
ever and there are many ways shown OF
making life in the country more COM
Portable than was possible twenty years
ago. City luxuries are now possible at
country homes through the ingenuity Of
experts and samples of electric light and
gas plighting plants and other devices
and inventions to make home more cosy
are shown.
POLICE IN UNIFORM PROTECT PATRONS.
The presence of the fair police in mili-
tary uniform, adds both color and unique
ness to the crowds. These men,
most of.them tall-and all of them husky
enough to handle any one who might seek
to create1 trouble move about wherever
the crowd is thickest and the mere sight
of their uniform has subduing effect on
the crowd. Detectives at the gates watch
for plckpockets and crooks and wherever
any suspicious character endeavors to
enter the grounds they are prevented
through the vigilance of these keen
eyed sleuths.
Gypsies endeavored to force their way
into the grounds yesterday but were
ordered out. Twice they got in and
twice were escorted out and with the warn
ing that the next time they forced their
way in, they would be arrested. The fair
management is trying to make the State
show as clean and as clear of objectiona-
bile features as possible.
Men with gambling concessions tried
vainly yesterday to obtain privilege to
run their games. No games of chance
