Nhe visited many jesterday, slopping for a word at each one, and will continue her visits todav and tomorrow until she has seen the entire fair. Attendance Promising The throng that gathered about the grand stand waited for the free attrac tions, and the races which bog in al most immediately after the cnacluauui of the opening ceremonies. The attefH auce for the day compared more than favorably with the swrmiance with former opening days. The crowd ws just comfortably large without being dense enough to make for congestion.

The midway-claimed its usual multitude, and by mid afternoon the gronnds had taken on the nsnal seeming of the fair grounds on a big day of the fair. They were good watured and apparently prosper oiis. Midway show people and keepers of the Aim flam places had no com plaint to make of the parsimony of the crowd. The Fearless Gregg are the head liaers of the year'e free attractions, and they bring each individual hair of the spectator to the perpendicular wh -n they dash down the high Ineline in automobiles, the ore doing a loop while the other pisses under him. It is a genuine thriller, aad should they fail by a fraction of a second in their rslenlatinns. the stunt "would JSe turn ed into tragedy. A steel tower fifty feet high, with a double tracked runway pitched on a SWdegree angle, the one etirring sharp ly npwnrd and the other leading ont ever a spring platform is the thing the stunt is dor.e on. The two ears start from the top, the fj on the up curved track, and the other following the track that leads t the platform. The first car performs a loop, nrd the second shoots under it as it r.a-hes the peak of the loop, landing i the platform and running some distance before it is halted.
