The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1920-09-16

toward the "hOme OF big
Wednesdays record-breaking crowd
which was estimated BY the officials
at over $4,000 and hopeful of fully
5000 today, the promoters expressed
the opinion that the 1920 Caledonia
County Fair would prove one of ,ht
most successful ever conducted. Un'
less rain this afternoon prevents some
of the races there will be no fair TO-
morrow.
Yesterday was certainly banner
day. From one end of the other OF
the big Midway there was a black
mass of people throughout the day;
While the spectators in the crowd
invested their small change (and
some their larger change) in the
great conglomeration OF gambling
devices. Others interested thmemsel-
YES in examining the various exhibits
in Floral Hall and other spots on the
grounds. No matter how the lndlVla-
ual visitors spent his time he got ms
moneys worth of enjoyment.
Several thrills We're at1oraed the

In the evening the big Night Car

Charlie Chaplin, Harry Lauder and
Nelzone Rannc Although all of the
acts received bic hands, the clever
horseback riding IF the BoStock's
seemed to conc in for the greatest
amount of applause.
The Carnival was late in starting
owing TO the fact that the main fuse,
supplying the electric flights for the
entire grounds, blew out. The man
agement encountered great difficulty
in securing an electrician to remedy
the trouble. 1t was said that one of
the "fakirs" "tapped" the main wire
and through his lack of knowledge of
electricity caused the fuse to burn
out. The show fnallv got under way
about 8 O'Clock and was over shortly
after $50. From then on the crowd
commenced to thin out, althouph

the gaming operators.
The crowd started collecting early
