commenced.

July was especially unfortunate for
the Fairgrounds. Attendance vas very
small, about 40 900 IN all. Cool August
days increased the attendance, so thai
approximately 10000 used the city
Fairgrounds this summer. There was
this attendance too in spite of the fact
that. with two or three exceptions,
the Fairgrounds have only the mini
mum of equipment.
This year the Fairgrounds had a
baseball league. which closed Monday
with Pine leading, and Madison sec
