refused to keep away from the fair

greatest in it's history. Transporta-

today to care for crowd hurrying
to the grounds. Shops, stores and

the noon or at noon. Figures on the
attendance were missing tonight due
to the inability of fair officials to
keep up with work. but it was esti-
mated that more than $4,000 were on
the grounds.
The three midway streets were
packed with people from early noon
until late tonight. With a faScinat-

hurry homeward from the fair as in
days of yore. Instead they stay
right through and throng the mid
