A
ATTENDANCE AT FAIR EXCEEDS
ANTICIPATIONS OF MANAGEMENT
Paid Admissions to Grounds
First Day Exceeded
1,400.
LARGER NUMBER
ATTEND. TODAY
Rain Fails to Detract Coquille
Valley People Coming
Tomorrow.
Despite a shower early this morn
ing and heavy skies until after noon,
tho second day of the Southern Ore
gon District Fair brought out a lar
ger crowd than yesterday when there
were over 1,400 paid admissions. The
threatening skies kept many away
from the grounds during the fore
noon hut tho throngs began to flock
to the exposition shortly after noon.
It Is believed that tho attendance
will reach 2,000.
Tomorrow Is likely to be the rec
ord day for attendance at the Fair
as Coquille and Myrtle Point and the
Coquille Valley will send their big
delegations that day. Today, there
Is a large attendance from Dandon,
many coming over on last evening's
train.
Special Train Service.
General Manager C. J. Millis an
nounced today that a special train
would be run from Marshfleld to
morrow night at 9 o'clock to accom
modate the crowds from there who
wish to take part In the- evening
events of the Fair. A special train
will also be run at 10 o'clock Sun
day morning to Myrtle Point to
accommodate valley people who
wish to spend Saturday nlht here.
MniiitKcini'iit Plwuii'tl.
"The management of the Second
Southern Oregon Distr ct Fair is
more than pleased with the exhibits
and the crowd," said Secretary Frank
Micelli last night. "We did not ex
pect more than a few hundred on
tho opening day as the crowds sel
dom turn out the first day. Instead
of a few hundred, wo had nearly
1,500. Coos Bay and Coos county Is
doing itself proud. I want to say
that anyone who docs not visit the
fair and carefully inspect tho exhibits
will miss an opportunity that won't
come again soon. Many think the
races are the whole thing, but they
are not. They are good but the ex
hibits are deserving of special praise
and inspection."
KiK Crowd at Night.
Front street was thronged again
last night and the second night of
the carnival was even gayer than the
first. There were more out of town
people in the throng and If they
didn't have a good time, it was be
cause they didn't appreciate the ab
solute lack of restraint and the eli
mination of "dignified street man
ners." Band Makes n Hit.
Tho Acme Band of Marshfleld
which was engaged by tho Fair mana
gement has proved a pleasing feature
and has won many compliments from
tho crowd. The noonday concerts
and tho evening concerts on the
street draw out large numbers. The
band is now the strongest organiza
tion of the kind that has ever been
got together In Marshfleld.
CHORUS IS PLEASING.
School Children Under Prof. Todd's
Direction Score Hit.
North Bend and Marshfleld schools
joined hands yesterday In a grand
chorus under direction of Prof. Elmsr
A. Todd.
Notwithstanding the children had
to stand through the entire program
crowded on a small platform in the
boiling sun, tke order was remark
able, and the singing superb, the
singers responding to tho baton as
readily as a chorus accustomed by
years of training.
Master Cecil Brown, the sole repre
sentative of the boys of Marshfleld,
was the soloist of the occasion. Only
eight years of age, the boy sang with
remarkably clear enunciation, delib
erate and self possessed.
The accompanist, Miss Lucy Hor
ton, was a valuable assistant to the
FIRST DATS
RACING GOOD
Events Hotly Contested and
Partly Offset Tedious Delays
In Starting.
The first day's racing at the South
ern Oregon District Fair yesterday
was good, the events being all pretty
closely fought to the finish. There
was trouble In starting and long de
lays between events that wore on the
crowd, practically four hours being
taken to pull off the four events.
John It. Miller, the starter, didn't
seem to be ahle to get the runners
off. In one event, the three-eighths
mile dash, a half dozen attempts were
made before the word was given.
The evident jockeying of some of the
riders made many In the crowd angry
and caused considerable criticism of
the ofllclals for not penalizing them.
This afternoon, W. W. Cardwell of
Uoseburg, will probably start the
running races and Mr. Miller will
start the harness events. An endeav
or will be made to eliminate tedious
delays. The track Is in good shape
this afternoon and fast time is ex
acted as there ai'e'some strong en
vies. A larjre crowd is present.

Judge Tells Why Court of Ap

Against John D. Rockefeller
(By Associated Press.)
GOSHEN, Ind., Aug. 27. Judge
Francis Baker of the Court of Ap
peals, which reversed the decision of
Judge Laudis in the Standard Oil
case, has replied to criticism of the
court. He said, "It was not the
Standard Oil Company incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey, the
parent concern that was on trial but
the Standard Oil Company of India
na, an off-spring undoubtedly but a
much weaker organization. But,
when It came to passing judgment, it
ivrs on offenses of the parent compa
ny that the Indiana off-spring was
.'ound guilty and against the property
and revenues of the parent company
the fine of the off-spring was gauged.
If it was the desire of the court to
punish the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey that company should
have been Indicted."

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 27. Augus
ta today is rapidly recovering from
tho worst flood in Its history. The
water Is receding from the streets:
and the sidewalks are now practically
clear. Considering the fact that
eight feet of water ran through the
maln business and residence district
streets and that telegraph and tele
phone communication was stopped
with no trains within a mile of Au
gusta In forty forty-eight hours, It is
remarkable that there has not been
a greater financial damage and
heavier loss of life.
The Associated Press ' established
headquarters eight miles from the
city while the water was pouring:
through tho streets preventing the
publicatlon of the local newspapers
At noon Augusta dispatches stated
that the water was falling at the rate
of an Inch per hour and that all dan
ger Is past.
So far known only three persons
were drowned.
It was reported that a dozen
deaths resulted from drowning dur
ing the night, but only one could be
confirmed up to 2 o'clock today.
Two fires occurred In the flooded
district, destroying two warehouses.
Cabmen who possessed boats
quickly seized the opportunity to-
jcharge exorbitant prices for moving:

tions. Judge C. A. Sehlbrede, L. U.
