Friday, with ilfty motor cars and

not counting the transfers. Of this num
ber there were 10.000 to and from the
park to tho fair grounds.
Yesterday tho register* showed up
12.000 to and from the park, which means
that there were more than 6.000 people
In the park, a* Innumerable other vehi
cles carried many people to the fair.
So for ns could be hoard, there were
no complaints as to service. The care
havo been crowded, but the accommodat
ing conductors look after the comfort of
the people to the best of tgelr ability.
The Macon Railway and Light Com
pany have taken an unusual intercut In
the fair. They have a fine display of
electrical appliances, stoves and Irons,
etc.. In the exhibit hall.
