Although cxsot figures were not available, exhibition of- ficials expressed the opinion that the total admitted to the afternoon and evening features ’ ’ thnt of last year, The fresh, cool bxeess which swept across from tho i-Iillsboro River made the Exhibi- iton Grounds and the Grnnd Stand appear decidedly comfortable after the heat of the city. Every department of the fair wss functioning simul‘ neously. Judges applied themselves to their exlctins duties, frequently before crowds of interested "onlookeis. The Grand Stand was well filled for the room; programme. and packed for the evening pouui a TM Midway was going full swinl. NIGHT SHOW The night show at the Provin- cial Exhibition last evening. was attended by almost three thousand pgoplcr-Ildlfly five hundred more than Tuesday evening lost year. The show was ful‘y up to the ad- vertising, and’ in fact very much better. v The Horse Show, was closely fol- lowed by the large audience who appeared greatly interested in the beautiful animals. and the well turned out riders. interspersed with the judging of horses, were the vaudeville acts, consisting of D'I.orns, the high pole artist, Senorita. Carmenits and the Four Fsntlnos, Georgettyh Holly- wood Comiqucs, Charlie Chamber- lain, the singing lumbcrjack. and the super-sensation, the Robert Clmse Company. A‘l the acts were good, and Charlie Chamberlain's singing wLs the best ever heard here at an exhibition. l-ie is oer- tsinly going to make a name for himself this his first season out. The Robert Cimse sensation was a real thriller, almost impossible to describe. but one that you will no doubt hear all about from your neighbours. It ls the best not ever brought to this province. or prob- ably thc Maritime Provinces. The Musical Ride of sixteen members of the Light Horse in full dress uniform. we: performed very splendidly. and their efforts wou‘d ramps-re well with that of perm- anent troops. The Fire Works were more varied than last your, snd certainly more beautiful. The programme th's eve- ning will be specded up. so that everything will be concluded short- ly before 10.30. Tilers is no doubt of a tremendous crowd this eve- ning. but there is plenty of accom- modation.
