Everything is ready for the greatest spectacular attraction ever staged in the Northwest, or, in fact, in the whole country. And probably never before has there been such a crowd. Of 20,000 tickets sent to Seat- I tie alone over half had been sold Saturday, and a call for more. Every boat on the sound will be l>ut in service and every extra in- terurban car. "If we don't have 50.000 peo- ple from the outside I will miss my guess," said one committee- man today. Get Tickets Karly. All of which means that Taco- *\u25a0 mans had better be sure to get tickets down town and not take the risk of a jam at the gate. The rain Saturday night put tilings in tip-top shape lor the big event. The dust was all laid thoroughly, and everything was washed clean as a pin. All the painting was done in oil, so the \u25a0water just added to its beauty by cleaning up the canvas. The track for the chariot races Is simply superb. All the fireworks are on the ground, and the army of gladia- tors, athletes, soldiers, populace and dancers are drilled to perfec- tion. Much inquiry has been made of the committee as to which would be the better night to go— tonight or tomorrow night. Outsiders Here Tonight. As a matter of fact, the specta- cle will be the same. But the out- of-town crowd will be there tonight. All along the line from Portland to Vancouver, B. C, word comes that hundreds and thousands are headed this way. » Every train and boat this morn- * ing was loaded and it looks like another overflow at the Stadium. This means that spectators will have a chance to again see what a crowd of 50,000 looks like, a thing there was some misgiving after the July show lest it might not, occur again. And under the glare of that mighty conflagration when Rome burns the crowd tonight will be a sight that is seen but once in a lifetime. Countess Gets Nice Windfall (By United Press I>ase<] Wire.)
