essful In the history of these
annual events, according to a
statement Tuesday from J.H.
Summers, president.
In every way thatv success
could be gauged, he stated, this
year's show was out to front.
Ssvsral factors had a bearing
on the outcome.
Weather contributed greatly
to the success of the event.
Light rains preceding the open-
ing, followed by mild tempera-
tures, crested very favorable
conditions tor such an under-
taking.
Crowds were larger than
formerly throughout the tour-
day show. Nlghtlme attractions,
mads mors Interesting by
special events, drew large
audiences.
Carnival attractions were
well patronized and many hund-
red;* of people passed through

well as to areas where out-
dlsplays were arranged.

assistants wars on the Job

covered too late to be remedied

varied displays than ever before
