Fair Attendance Is
Placed At 0O,5OO
For the Entire Week

Ninety thousand and five hun
dred persons saw the 61st Oregon
State Fair ON which the curtain
will drop at midnight tonight, it
was estimated this afternoon by
A. H. Lea, secretary of the fair
board. Yesterday, with an attend
anee of approximating 1880 per-
sons, was the biggest Friday in the
fairs history and it was estimated
that no less than $4,000 persons
will be ON the grounds today be-
fore the gates close.
Sundays crowd was estimated by
Mr.. Lea at 1000; Monday at 5000;
Tuesdays at 10000; Wednesdays
at $4,000; Thursdays at 10000; Fri
days at 1850 and today's at 49,
900. An exact check. is impossible
at the present time, it was explain
ed.
Today the fair belongs to the
Shriners and, as if to honor the
lodgemen of the multi-colored dress,
the weather man offered the best
in stock. Not cloud showed in the
sky and the sun shone brightly
throughout the day. In all parts
of the grounds gaily vestured Shrin-
ers, pleasure bent, were in evidence.
Never in the history of the state
fair has a racing program on
par with this afternoons been Of
ferred, Secretary Lea declared. It
began at 1870, featuring a free for
all trot, three in five, purse 5000; a
free for all pace, three in five, purse
5000; 1925 pace, three heats, purse
5000, and 2:16 trot, three heats,
purse 5000. It was witnessed by a
large crowd.
Among today's events which held
the interest of large gathering was
the concert and drill held by the
Shriner's patrol and band. The
Shriners' special train arrived at
the grounds about noon.
Today, as usual, the crowds were
very orderly. During the entire
week the policing Of the grounds
has been exceptionally well hand
led, and to Grounds Chief Jack
Welsh and his assistant, Frank Min
to, belongs the chief credit. Very
little liquor has been on the grounds
and the few persons inebriated were
taken into custody.
At no time in the past has the
grounds police work been taken care
of in a more thorough manner.
At 3 o'clock this Afternoon a radio
concert is to be held on the grounds
in the educational building an in
formal child welfare conference is
to be held. At this afternoon auto
polo is to be played in front Of the
grandstand.
Tonight at o'clock there will be
held in the stadium the final parade
of prize winning livestock and 80
minutes later ttere will be a con-
cert by Stoudenmeyer's band. At s
O'Clock a display of fireworks will
be seen in front of the grandstand
and Immediately following the
evening will be given over to the
various concessions on the grounds.
