Showers, early in the week caused a light attendance Tuesday and Wednesday, but Thursday dawned bright and clear and the grounds were comfortably crowded early in the day. It is estimated that about 9000 persons were in attendance Thursday, and the indications were good fora large crowd Friday, ‘ but following the heavy rainstorm early Friday morning the officials thought it best to close down the Fair. Excellent exhibits were shown in every department, in many instances far exceeding those of former years.
