SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 21.-
The Eastern States exposition of 1921 is
now established on the firm basis of ac-
complishment. Success, after the ex-
traordinary features attending the grand
full opening of the exposition Monday,
met the regular procession of the weeks
events at the magnificent West side
grounds and plant without hint of anti
climax-regular in the issue of the ex-
position but without equal in the por-
trayal of the life and activities of the
eastern United States.
1t was state of Maine" day and the
affairs of Gov. Percival z. Baxter of
that state and the folk of whom he is
chief executive gave emphasis to the
hours up to late afternoon. But the
aristOcracy of the domestic live stock
of America making up the stables, herds
and flocks of the exposition came fully
into their own, and it was their day.
And the horse show, unexcelled in the
country, ran through its second evening
OF unparalleled success before a throng
Of spectators exceeding in numbers the
crowd which filled the Coliseum for
Governors evening before
New marks were made in attendance
figures for the Eastern States Agricul-
tural and Industrial exposition, if that
proof were needed of this years success.
The count of those at the grounds when
business was over last night was IS, sos,
nearly 5000 more than visited the expo
sitiOn on Tuesday of last year and the
same number above the number on Gov
ernor's day.
Last night a new record for the first
three days attendance had been made
with the count of 59,705. The three
days total a year ago was 51,913.
Peter Hopeful, by Peter the Great,
with Ed ellis driving, won The Repub-
lican stake for 2.14 trotters after four
heats, in the feature event of the second
noon on the Eastern States exposition
track. The bay horses victory cannot
be called popular one, the sentiments
of the large crowd being decidedly pro-
Brusie, who was driving Mauna Boa of
the Dillon stable. Brusie, probably, was
Direct in the 2.20 pace, for his efforts to
win with Mauna Boa were somewhat
doubtful.
