nesday. Everybody from tho directors down
to the Rinnlloat of children pronounc-
ed the Fair rt success of the most
brllllnnt sort Insofar nn attractions
ire concerned nnd the financial re
turns were bIho satisfactory judging
from the cheerful mood of tho direc-
tors. People had gone to Fair Park
to ho cntertnlncd nnd they got their
money's worth and n little more be-
sides The magnitude of the Fair
surprised everybody; nnd praise wns
ill that wiiB heard If yon bnr the
omnipresent knocker.
T J. Wnrren a Merkcl banker epi-
tomized tho MOntlmcnt of everybody
when he told frlonds:
"It Ik the host nnd biggest Fair I
have ever booh nt nny place under
25000 population."
W A. Mlnler. Jr.. first vlcc-prcsl-dent

Tho crowds during Tuesday nnC
Tuesday night were tho most orderly
Boon In a long time. Thero was no
roughnoRB to mar tho pleasure of any-
one and If there wits any drinking
It was kept mighty quiet. Fifteen or
twenty spoclul officers found time
hanging heavily on their hands.
But the crowd was smaller than wns
hoped for. Secretary Fred T.. Wood
said:
Wo ought to linvo had twelve or
fifteen thousand peoplo out there dur-
ing Tuesday but It wns distressingly
much loss than this. However. It was
a big crowd as crowds go nnd prob-
ably bigger than most peoplo expect-
ed." In spHo of tho small crowd how-
ovor the park was full of peoplo
throughout tho day nnd the grand
stand was comfortably well filled for
tho races and freo acts In tho after-
noon. The froo acts In front of the grand-
stand were pleasing. Vann tho Horse
Beautiful and his rider Mrs. May
Elder wore liberally cheered. Cum-

Harris' nand and the splendid voca'

Miss Andrews fairly captivated tho hip

evident that she will be one of the
life- features of the Fair. She receiv
ed more compliments from the crowd
Tuesday than any other feature at the
Fair.
The Harris band Is doing great
work and has taken the Fair crowds
bv storm. Each musician is skilled In
his particular calling ana tne comp
