The Second Southern Oregon Dls- trict Fair closed Saturday afternoon with an attendance that far exceeded! the anticipations of tho manage ment. There were about 1,700 paid." admissions for the day and as there? were more babies and children in the audience than any previous day It is believed that the attendances practically reached 2,000. The baby show drew out an unusually large number of women and children and', nearly every man on Coos Bay who could get away was in attendance at. the races. Owing to it being the last, day, tho exhibits did not receive as much attention as on previous days Saturday night brought tho car nival and other attendant festivities".' of tho fair to a close. It was one of tho gayest and most festive even ings of tho week. Tho crowd on the? street was as large or larger than, any previous evening. It was a big good natured crowd. Not the slight est trouble marred tho pleasures of the crowd of men, women and boys who threw aside all restraint and' started out for a good time. No one went so far as to detract from the others good time. Like all the other evenings of the week, there was absolutely no ''Row dyism," and it was the remark of observers that they had never seent a more orderly crowd. Not tho slightest trouble marked an ovenlngr of the week although Marshal J. W. Carter and Night-watchmen Condroin and Shupe kept close tab on any in dication of difficulty. Not even a fight or a petty theft discommoded! anyone. Tho ball on the new paying proved' a feature of Saturday evening. Tho- new paying pn 'C street, betweena Front and Broadway', which had note been thrown open to traffic wasi sprinkled with meal and to the strains of music furnished, by Wr Ri Halhs, scores o'f couples danced' dtiri lng tho evening. All In all, It was nearer the great; "La Fiesta" of southern cities tham anything that has ever been witness ed In Oregon or northern points.. Mako It Annual Event. It Is now proposed that the fair bo? mado an annual event by having tho Second Southern Oregon Fair Dis trict divided, leaving Coos and: Curry counties in one district. Owing: to the Inadequate transportation faci lities between Coos Bay and Rose- burg and Lane county, It Is Impos sible for them to make any particular showing here or to contribute large ly to tho attendance. Likewise for Coos or Curry counties to contrlbute--to fairs at Boseburg or In Lane coun--ty. Despite tho handicap of trans portation, thoro were a lnrge number of Roseburg people here, and .tho- success of tho event was a surprise to them. They were ready to admit tho attendance was far better tham. Roseburg had ever enjoyed. It Is also likely that tho date ot: the fair will be changed slightly bo as to permit better fruit exhibits by -being made a trifle later, perhaps. If many have their say, the greater portlan of the race purses will go -to the running races Instead of to the harness events, tho crowds hero" being palnly In favor of the runnorsj Pay All IIHIs. It Is not known definitely yet as to financial outepme as all of tho blllw. have not been checked. President F, P. Norton of the Coos and Cbrry ' Fair Association, announced today that all of tho bills would bo paIE In full Just aB soon as a meeting ot" the hoard of directors could bo hold, Mr. Norton said that tho Income frpra this fair would not cover tbo largo expense In fixing up tho fall'- (Continued on Page 4.) 1 1 ; iiiirimmniiwrBi i
