FROM HART SMITH---

This stand, without sponsor, was one of the last for the huge old tent. It was only being used as a spare until the finishing touches could be put on the new, somewhat smaller tent. As a matter of fact, while it was being erected the old tent developed a rather large tear which required a tedious patch job before the big top could be raised.
