It is on Friday that the directors place their hope now and their hope is that rain may be deferred.

It is the irony of hate that after weeks of smiling, sunlit weather, Jupiter Pluvius should choose the day .on which the hind- say Central opened to descend upon the parChed earth with cooling show- ers. This spoiled the atmnoe at the fair today when it was hoped that a large crowd would be on the grounds. The town had many visi- tors tor the fair, but few went to the grounds.

I The Lindsay band was up at the grounds Thursday and there was a fair crowd present looking over the 'exh-ibits. The crowd Friday, it is expected, will beat all the records since the first Lindsay Central. LARG E CROWD. The band was at the grounds again this afternoon and the park present- {ed a scene, which to a stranger un- iiamiliar with the crowds at the Lindsay Central must have been be- ,wildering. Far as the eye could reach was a sea 0! humanity with currents flowing in all directions and: merging into a veritable maelstrom‘ as the various channels met at some‘ partiCular points or interest. Dur-i in}: the afternoon it was no easy; matter to pick onBS' way through the grounds. Every hamlet and village in the county had sent its full Quota to the great county fair. Though there was considerable congestion and the inevitable jostling was worse this year than last, yet the crowd main street and the entine town seemed to have put on gala attire.
