MANY ATTEND BIG FAIR Second Day of Industrial Exhibit Proves Record Breaker in Every Respect The second day and beyond doubt the big day of the Polk County School Children's Industrial Fair closed last evening with a bigger record of suc cess than has been attained by any entertainment of Its kind ever before held in Polk county. The Fair was not formally opened until Wednesday afternoon, the fore noon of that day having been occupied in receiving, classifying and labeling the exhibits and arranging them in suitable displays, and the attendance on the first day was consequently quite light. Thursday dawned cloudy and threatening and for a time the outlook for the attendances on the second day was exceedingly dismal. The sky cleared, however, before the morning was far advanced and by 10 o'clok visitors from all of the outlying school districts began to throng into the city. The 11 o'clock trains from Portland and Falls City brought large delega tions and the noon motor with more than 200 people from Monmouth and Independence, swelled the attendance to an even greater figure than had been anticipated by the management of the Fair. The great feature of the day was the parade of Polk county Bchool children at 2 :30 o'clock, followed by a water melon feast in the assembly room of the armory. Headed by the Dallas band, the long line of schoolchildren, marching two abreast and their files extending for more than three blocks, passed northward up Main street between the banked walls of applauding onlookers crowded along the sidewalks on either band, swung eastward along Mill street and thence southward down Jefferson to the hall where the Fair was being held. Here the watermelon feast was held and it was conducted with a dispatch and thoroughness that did the heart good. The head of the procession dis appeared from sight in the left hand entrance of the assembly hall only to issue from the right band door an instant later, not in straight and well ordered line as when it entered, but In a flying disintegrated' mass. They entered as a procession ; they re appeared as individuals with their hands full of luscious, dripping slices of watermelon which they gulped down at random, to their intense per sonal enjoyment and frequently to the utter demoralization of white waists, clean ties or dainty dresses. While the "run on the melon tables" continued, the assembly hull pre sented the spectacle of half a dozen of the busiest people in Dallas (at that time), dispensing slices of melon right and left to a surging and apparently interminable mass of young human ity and saying insistently and with the automatio twang of a cuckoo clock, "Pass on please as soon as you are served I Pass on and give the rest a chance !" Altogether it was the live liest and most enjoyable scene that has been witnessed in this city for many a day. The committee in charge of this feature certainly deserves great credit for the speed and efficiency shown In handling the crowd. A dash of rain In the afternoon started some of the visitors homeward a trifle early, but the sky cleared once more and when the sun came out again the crowd was but little smaller than it had been before. Throughout the remainder of the day Interest cen tered around the main ball where the exhibits, bigger, better and more var ied than ever before, were spread out In tempting array. The work of judging was carried on throughout the entire day and the prizes will be awarded this morning. The judging ot the agricultural ex hibits has been in the hands ot Pro fessor Arthur L. Peck, of O. A. 0., and Miss H. D. Soudder, of the Depart ment of Domestic Scienoe in the same institution, has acted as judge ot the exhibits In cookery, fruit canning and handiwork. George T.
