Cattle Congress Directors Review Last Exposition
Directors of the Dairy Cattle Congress met at noon to review the exposition that closed Sunday. Attendance estimates ranged from 12 000 to 80 000, weather blamed for lower turnout than last year. Despite poor weather the show did not lose money and likely broke even, Hippodrome attendance outpaced outside gate receipts. Exhibitors praised results as advertising, with some predicting 50 000 to 60 000 more attendees in good weather. Surveys showed visitors from many counties and states, underscoring progress in county improvements and sustained attendance.
