' A3 WK»- : DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI Record Breaking Crowd On Opening Day Os The Big Cabarrus County Fair Overcast Skies Failed to Dampen Enthusiasm of the Thousands Gathered for Excellent Program Offered on the Opening Day of Fourth Annual Fair of Ca barrus County. RACE PROGRAM BROUGHT THOROUGH BREDS TO WIRE Free Acts, Fireworks and Shows on the Midway At tracted Many While Others Found the Greatest Interest in Exhibits of Products, Hogs, Poultry and Cattle. Undaunted by overcast skies early in the day thousands of persons from Cabarrus and adjoining counties crowded their way into the fair grounds of the Cabarrus Fair Association Tuesday for the fourth annual event sponsored by the associa tion. Officials Tuesday night declared the attendance eclipsed any opening day total in the history of the fair. . By noon the skies had cleared more and the crowd increas ed. Later in the afternoon the sun broke through in earnest and when the moon rose clear behind fleeting clouds, bringing assurance of no rain for the night, the crowd increased until the grounds were fairly bulging with visitors whfen the free acts and fireworks began. Hundreds of employes who were held by grim duty to their counters or looms during she day, hied to the grounds after closing time, mingling joyously with their more fortunate' friends who had been all day' frolicking in the wide open spaces at the grounds. Tie gates opened at sunrise and soon thereafter came the tirst visitor, all set for-a day of pleasure. The crowd increased slowly for the (irat three hours and then there was r 1 steady stream of humanity, the peak 1 for Che day being reached about one 1 o'clock. School children, guests of the fair ' for the day, arrived at the grounds in all k'rnls of vehicles. and by noon most of them were safely inside, ready for ' the day that iuean« more to them, 1 perhaps, than any day in the year ex- ' eept Christmas. Among the students were 400 boys from the Jackson Training School, cadets from Mt. Pleasant, aud young ladies from Mont Amoeua Seminary and I.aura Sunder land School. The crjUKfls were handled without “Cftnftlsion, aud most of the autoa were parked on the inside, a fact that rjrTo'fM* advantage of all motnriets. lea** back' to town, is prohibited this year and ail vehicles enter the mid dle gate. That arrangement, togeth er with the presence of National Guardsmen as traffic men, facilitated maters no little, and even at the crest of the traffic tide there were no long delays ami no jams. When the races vegan at 1:30 ev ery seat in the two grandstands was taken and other thousands were lined along the fence parallel with the track. Later some of these were al lowed to go to the infield and noon the fence there had as its background a seething mass of human faces, all eagerly directed toward the track. For the most part the crowd was orderly, officials having no more se rious duty to perform than warn youngsters, ever anxious to see it ail, from standing on the fence. At times, but always during some free act that was staged on the track, the crowd surged across the fences but at a word from the race starter they mov ed back to their places behind the fences. Visitors here for the day. and es pecially horsemep from here and other fairs in this and other States, were surprised a,t the size of the crowd that watched the horses. It is not often, say these men, that a county fair attracts such crowds and they hasten to say that not often does ,a county fair deserve such patronage. The liernardi Greater Shows, offer ing the attractions on the Midway, found many patrons among the vast ciowjd. Each of the 25 shows had Its quota of business with the motorcycle races, the trained horses, and monkey races and the inevitable freaks enjoy ing perhaps the best business. Scores of children fought for places on tjie rides with the “Merry-Go-Round" no less popular because of its age. The exhibit halls, carrying the best line of good* in the history of the fair, were filled throughout the day and night; the hog houses were more popular than ever as was the livestock barn, while so many chickens, pig eons, ipbbits, turkeys and other fowl were entered in the poultry houses that coops used to bring the b eds to the grounds had to be pressed into service. In the big tent are found .late mod el motor cars by some of the most popular manufacturers and in addi tion there are a few booths advertis ing various business concerns of Con cord. • Many persons stopped apd marvel ed at the school exhibts, showing as nothing else could do the manner in which the children are now instruct ed. This exhibit, certainly, is one of the most popular aud de*ervlngiy so. in the hall. Other elaborate exhibits there are. all worthy pf inspection and all advertising seine well known prod uct or showing the band'woclp of some Individual. The Wiseassett Rand from Albe marle. as -staple with fait goers as is sugar with the housewife, is back this season and in addition to its work during the races and acts, gives con certs at various' t'mes during the day in the big auto tent. Mingled with the dash and color of The Concord Daily Tribune North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily the flapiier garb and the sobriety of the conservatist's dress was the olive drab of the soldier as members of the Concord National Guard unit moved about the grounds ns traffic men and watchmen. Members of the company on duty at the grounds are quartered in their own tents just off the race track and they give to the fair a sort of quieting influence that should be good for the rowdy who always chooses such places for his dev : ltry. The crowd at the free acts both in the afternoon and at night got its big gest kicks from the Costello riding act: Van Norman's bicycle act and the comedy Ford. There are other worthwhile features on the free acts program but these are the more out standing. The fireworks are In keeping with pyrdleehnical displays offered yiwis fairs here.

Increased attendance is predicted for the remainder of the week despite the fact that more paid admissions were reported Tuesday than on any other opening day in the history of the fair. GOV.

GERMANY MAY REVERT TO MONARCHY AGAIN At Least Colonel House Sees It That Way in Article Published- in Mag azine. New York, Oct. 13.- —Colonel Ed ward M. House, close advisor of Pres ident Wilson during the World War, thinks it is possible Germany may revert to a monarehial form of gov ernment, because of inefficiency in the present government methods or un wise action of the allies. Writing in the current issue of Mc- Call’s magazine, Colonel House says: > “Many competent observer* believe that the present republic will finally merge itself into a monarchy with something moje of power to the em peror than the kitig of EngiHiid holds, and somewhat less than the forjner kaiser had. “If Germany should revert to mon archy, it will come about from the need of stability in domestic affairs, and the need of continuity to foreign affairs. It might also come through unwise and inconsiderate treatment by Frar.cO and the other allies.” Discussing the question of who might become emperor, Colonel House says one of the difficulties the royal ists would find in bringing back a monarchy, would be in reaching nil agreement on a candidate for the of fice.
