Fremont, Neb., Aug. 9. (Special
Telegram.) The biggest crowd that
ever assembled in Fremont on any
occasion, variously estimated at from
25,000 to 50,000 people, visited the
tractor demonstration grounds today.
From early in the forenoon until
after the demonstrations started at
1:30 there was a continual stream of
automobiles to the grounds. People
drove from all over Nebraska and
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, the Dakotas
and Colorado. Special trains were
run from Beatrice, Albion and Sioux
City, the Albion Commercial club,
numbering over 200, coming in a body
to advertise the Boone county fair
to be held next month. It was esti
mated that there were 5,000 automo
bile on the grounds.
Food Runs Low.
Although special preparations were
made to feed a large crowd, the facili
ties were inadequate to accommodate
the crowd and many people were
forced to eat lunches purchased at
grocery stores.
Eeight tractors took the fields this
afternoon on the 200 acre tract where
the demonstrations were held. The
crowd was so great that at times the
plowing was delayed while the field
was cleared. Many of the visitors
were owners of Ford autos, the day
having been designated Ford Owners'
day by the noted Detroit manufac
turer. It was estimated that 1,500
Ford cats were on the grounds.
Tomorrow is expected to be an
other big day. Interest in the iron
horses increases and many people
have planned to . visit the grounds
every day. rremont homes were
thrown open to farmers who came for
miles to see the show and remained
over night The Commercial club
committee in charge of the assign
ment of rooms has been able to ac
commodate all who have applied.
This evening tractor men were the
guests of the Commercial club at the
Stecher-Christensen wrestling match.
While the men were at the wrestling
match their wives and daughters who
are here for the show were entertained
at a theater party. Tomorrow after
noon they will be the guests of the
Commercial club at a card party' and
supper at the Country club.
Tuesday night tractor men were
given a free watermelon feed at the
Commercial club rooms.
