MORE THAN TWENTY THOUSAND Greatest Crowd that Ever Gathered at the Fair Grounds Success that Breaks all Records-Jomor-. row .Educational Day. vlr The largest crowd that ever appeared In tho State Fair grounds In there today a crowd of more than twenty thousand, from every town and county In the com monwealth. A great crowd it is, Jostling and pushing its way along the aisles of tho main buildings, crowding the grand stand, and making merry fun on the fan itcstic midway; a democratic crowd, the laughing school girl with the aged farmer, the millionaire touching elbows with the laborer. All sorts and conditions of men they are, and more than twenty thou sand of them. i Secretary Poguo promised that he would break the1 record. He haB broken the record In the matter of exhibits, the finest lot of exhibits ever seen in the State. The midway is 'the largest ever seen here without a gambling machine or a robbing booth In the whole length of It. And the crowd is the largest that ever came. Tho regular entrances to the grounds that ore generally sufficient to accom modate a crowd of any sine were entirely Inadequate today, and twp panels of the fence had to be pulled down to let the crowd In. The school girls and school boys ore In evidence by the hundred, the mortar boards and colors of a hundred schools arc seen on every hand. Prominent citi zens and professional men, merchants and manufacturers from every part of the State are here. And above all the hum of myriad voices and ithe tread of .thousands can be heard the wild music and whirl of the midway. A thousand 30und-waves beat on the air and every tune in the hand-organ from "Dixie" to Must. Because She Mado Those Coo-Goo Eyes" can be heard. Above it all Is the shrill voice of Esaw's guardian, who asserts In megaphone tones: "She actually bites off their heads and positively eats i.hem alive." ' ... THB MAIN BUILDING.

The. exhibit of this large nhd en terprising firm, who do the largest and most extensive vehicle trade , in this section have nn exhibit that cov ers more space than any exhibit in floral nail. It is one of the most attractive exhibits and the firm has received thousands of compliments, on their magnificent showing. Their hiuidsome buggies and vehi cles are displaced to the greatest pos- si ule advantage on, a floor space of sixty by about eighty feet. At the up per end of this large space is a life-size and life-like artificial horse hitched t6 a bike wagon with wire wheels hav ing solid mober tires. The outfit is a, beautiful one, presenting a most natural abearance ana attracting perhaps as much general attention as any feature in the ha.lL The harness iist-d on this horse is a fine sample of the best hurnesa handled by tnis firm. Then, too, the metal trimmings are gold-lined, and everything is ap propriately elegant. A clever device for showing the style of bit used is the movable lower lip of the horse. This, firm represents the Columbus Jury Company, Tyson & Jones, Hock Hill, A. Wrenn & Sons, Watertown, and many others. In their space at the Fair are exhibited phaetons, car riages of all kinds, wire weel bike wagons, pneumatic wagons, spiders, road wagons, stanhopes and surreys.

Altogether, it is a credit to the city and the State,, and Messrs. Ilarber & Towler deserve the highest, mead cf praise that can be bestowed for. their splendid showing. The inscription on the horse men tioned above is ."characteristic and worthy of quotation: "I am. not a runner, but am here to stand up nnd recommend J. AV.
