THE STATE FAIR NOTABLE SUCCESS Attendance Larger Than Ever Exhibits Large, Receipts Satisfactory. Salem. Receipts of the Oregon state fair which closed here Satur day, probably will exceed those of the 1928 fair by several thousand dollars. The attendance showed a material in crease over last year's fair. Officials said that the outstanding success of this year's fair probably was due in a large measure to the per fect weather that prevailed during the entire week. At last year's fair rain fell on Monday and Tuesday, with the result that the racetrack was heavy and the grandstand was only partly filled. Numerous free at tractions, and a top-notch horse show also helped to swell the crowds at this year's fair. The outstanding feature of this year's state fair probably was the boys and girls' club departments. More than 500 children from all parts of Oregon were participants in the club contests. The boys and girls were housed in the club dormitory under the direction of H. C. Seymour, state club leader, and his assistants. As a result of the large number of entrants in the club activities, the judging was not completed until Sat urday. In previous years the last of these awards were announced on Fri day. ' Another attraction was the new grandstand which was built during the past summer at a cost of about $150,000. This grandstand seats ap proximately 6500 persons, with the result that the receipts of this de partment were increased materially. Entries in the horse show were more numerous and of better quality than ever before. It was said that the cost of conducting the horse show probably would exceed that at previ ous ' state fairs. The additional ex pense was due to the material in crease in entries, and added purses. A new feature at this year's fair was the dollar dinner contest in the boys' and girls' .club departments.
