and in this he saw signs that the attendance would increase day by day, and that the total number of visitors would compare favorably with any of preceding years.

TO-DAY'S ATTENDANCE:
More county exhibits were brought into the grounds yesterday. The farm products exhibited are larger in number and better in quality, it was stated, and the live stock, though not so numerically strong, is better in quality. The manager, W.C. Saunders, who until yesterday worked with his coat off, is equally as pleased with the number and quality of exhibits, and pointed to the fact that the attendance from outside of Richmond was of enormous proportions.

Of main interest among the free attractions during the afternoon was the aerial ascension of Miss Katherine Stinson, the nineteen-year-old aviator, who, despite the chilly blasts from the west, went up a thousand feet in her military biplane and executed the loop-the-loop with the nerve and dash of a war aviator on the western front in France. Her feats were observed from Eighth and Broad Streets to the east, and Ginter Park to the north. It was over Ginter Park that, with two trails of vehicles, she was able to reach the city.  How smoke behind her, she dipped and then swung head downward for the loop. Midway and all the exhibit buildings were deserted when her biplane was brought into the field, and she was introduced in front of the grandstand announcer. Jack Driscoll.
