The Ferris Wheel and the Flying Lady did not get in action until Wednesday. Judged by the amount of reoeipts the merry-go-round was the meet popular attraction, the Statue Turning to Life, the 2nd, the Snake Eater 3rd, and

the others in this order: Eleotrio Theater, Turkish Theater, Old Plantation, Little World, Ferris Wheel, Flying Lady. But for the popularity of the merry-go-round, the receipts are not a fair standard of comparison, for that was a 5 cent feature while the others were all 10 oenters. Thus the Mary had much more than thrice the patrons any of tho others had.
