THE FAIR OPENS |
The State Fair Is Now Full Under
Way.
Governor Tom Holt Makes a Speech
About 1t.
A CIRCUS WAS THE ATTRACTION
The Exposition Visited by Many People
in Consequence of the Great,
GreatLFair.

The News and Observer of this morn
ing says:
Opened yesterday Notwithstanding
the fact that the circus was in the city a
good crowd went out to the opening ex-
ercises and quite large number visited
the fair and exposition through the day.
There was decidedly the largest number
inside the gates yesterday of any day
since the opening Of the exposition itself.
At 11:39 o'clock promptly yesterday
morning Chief Marshal John S. Cunning
ham and his staff of assistant marshals
began to form the procession in front of
the Yarboro. The Durham Band led
off, it's members all gay in their vermil-
ion uniform. Next followed Chief Mar
shall Cunningham mounted on spirited
steed and caparisoned in white sash.
His staff wore sashes of blue.
After the marshals came carriages in
which were the orator of the day, state
officers and others.
The procession moved to the fair
grounds, where the opening exercises
took place in the main exposition build
ing, where most Of the fair exhibit has
been placed.
After music by the band, during which
the crowd assembled around the stand,
President Battle arose and announced
that it became his pleasure as president
Of the society to present His Excellency
Governor Thomas NJ. Holt, who would
now formally open the state fair Of 1891
He announced that as Governor Holt had
made the opening address at the exposi-
ton, and that he had not prepared a
long address for this occasion, but that
| he would in few words Of wisdom such
as he always spoke formally open the
| fair. Governor of the state as he was a
manufacturer, farmer, a patriot and 8
statesman, he needed no introduction on
this occasion nor to any audience in
North Carolina.
And then the governor made an able
speech. The fair is now On.

The last act F.!
But it don't go !

The last act
But it don't go
Rev. Bishop, of the Main Street church,
has issued a royal edict to the effect that
20 saint or no sinner can come into his
Achurch after 815..
Nh That hour is supposed to be the time
when the music is on and joy is uncon-
fined
Z The old theory to the effect that a
smiling sinner could come in rejoicing at
. the eleventh hour has been rudely dis
pelled-the fellow who gets his reserved
seat some hours in advance is the win
ner!
At least so says Rev. Bishop and so it
is at that church. 1t seems to some of
the worldly devils, Of which we may or
j may not be one, that the flood gates
should be kept open!
That any pie bald,
Or,
Wall eyed sinner
Who yearns to walk upon the green,
green grass of the New Jerusalem should
have a chance to apply for tickets at
least up till the departure of the last
train.
A Who can tell?
Maybe that some sinner who has
walked the winding path will come up
to that door just a trife after
8:15,
And just when he thinks to himself
81 shall soon be assured of the jaspered
hence in all its beauty, the
Devil will yank him to his bosom and
q. soul will be forever lost.
But sincerely, Mr.. Bishop while hay
ing an undoubted right to suit himself is
certainly putting on some airs that com
mon people will not endorse, at least
THE GLOBE believes so.

SAM JONES TESTIFIES.
He Answers Summons from the Grand
Jury and Tells All He Knows.

Jury and Tells All He Knows.
Rome, Georgia, special says: Sam
Jones was in Rome to day. He said he
was coming to see the grand jury, and
he came. This whole matter has been
the topic of conversation in Rome, but
there is another turn in affairs Sam
Jones says outside the grand jury room
things about some fines Judge Maddox
placed on eight prominent citizens for
gambling. He laughs at the Judge. The
judge doesn't smile, but Judge Maddox
defends himself, giving statement of
the cases, and says that if insinuations
are meant that he would have done 9TH
erwise on different persons, the man
who says it lies.
Mr.. Jones returned at 2 O'Clock a. m.
from Kentucky; at 1920 O'Clock he
walked up to the court house and was
ushered into the presence of the grand
jury. He gave them talk of half hour,
or perhaps, three fourths, duration. A
great crowd stood in front of the court
house, but the grand jury room was up
stairs and bailiff carefully guarded its
sacred portals. Nothing could be learned
until Mr.. Jones gave it away.
When Mr.. Jones came down he was
followed by drove of reporters.

meant it as an act of discourtesy?"

Notably Augmented fer the Present Tent
ing Season.
Probably the most colossal as we'll as
the most nervy amusement venture Of
the day is that inaugurated this season
by the management of the John Robin
son show-a venture requiring an ex-
penditure so enormous that statement
Of the amount would scarcely be cred
tied by the general reader. We allude
to the production on scale of magni-
tude and opulent splendor never prece-
dented Of the new biblical spectacle of
Solomon, his Temple, and the Queen of
Sheba, a spectacle prolific in grand scenic
effect, impressive in pomp and pagean-
try, realistic in it's reproductions of the
patriarchal era, sacred in it's biblical as
sociations and enhancing in it's ballets,
poses, marchings and groupings. The
visit of the Queen of Sheba to King
SolOmon's court with her immense and
richly costumed retinue, the Judgment
of Solomon, the Sacrifices in the Temple,
Solomon's Seven Hundred Wives, the
grand Professional Pageant to meet and
welcome Sheba's lovely queen, the Walls
and City of Jerusalem, the Inner Court
of Solomon's Temple, the great Throne
of Ivory, the Sacrifcial Ceremonies, the
Sacred Ark of the Covenant, the be-
witching Ballets of lovely Cresset Girls,
and myriad features that cannot be
given in detail, are the attractions this
woudrous spectacle presents. With such
desirable feature added to the admir-
able circus, the vast menagerie and the
royal Roman hippodrome, the many can
vases, spacious as they are, should and
will be packed from center to circumfer-
ence by eager and gratified spectators
each afternoon and evening. The show
will exhibit Thursday, October 10Th.

j ohm Robinson's Great Show in Raleigh
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The News and Observer of this morn
ing says: Yesterday was circus day in
Raleigh, and as John Robinson's circus
is q popular one here, it was given a
warm reception. 1t was day of un-
paralleled happiness for the little folks,
who drank it all in from early morn,
and alike to the older ones who took a
day of relaxation and vacation, and went
and enjoyed the show. Raleigh has
always been partial to John Robinson S
circus, but his visitation of yesterday
was so much more imposing and bril-
liant than at any time he has ever come
before as to cause the great carnival he
brought to linger long in the memory OF
everybody who attended it.
The grand street parade came off at II
a. m, and the streets were literally lined
with people The small boys and chill
dren predominated, occupying every
window and balcony in sight and were
happy. They enjoyed the fifteen cages
which were wide open and in which all
kinds of wild animals were to be seen
A brilliant feature of the parade was the
retinue of 70 mounted young ladies gor-
geously costumed.
The show opened at 1 o'clock, and
vast crowds were in early to see the ami
mails. In the animal tent were to be
seen a regular menagerie, containing big
lions and tigers, lionesses and their suck.

The circus began about2 o'clock under

its details. The performance opened
with the presentation Of the grand spec

most gorgeous and brilliant costumes, in
Guiding a hundred ladies fantasticallN
