The State Fair.
The annual State Fair will be held
in Raleigh October 1S-2lst inclusive
At the same time, there will be events
and features of greater novelty and
more interest than has ever character
lied any week in the history of the
State. To begin with, the Fair has
already assumed larger proportions
than any Fair heretofore held. There
will be in connection with it, attrac-
tons never before seen in the State,
and which are of such nature as to
appeal to the liveliest curiosity and
interest of the public generally. One
of these features will be Pawnee Bills
Great Wild West Show, which is the
greatest outdoor show on earth. This
show carries more than one hundred
people, including famous scouts, reser-
walton American Indians, well-known
cowboys, cow-girls, Mexican Vague
ros, ETC., and more than one hundred
head of live stock, including wild Mex
lean mustangs, bucking ponies, buff
falo, wild Texas steers, etc. All this
will combine in giving thrillingly real
lstic representations of real Western
life as it has been so frequently repre-
sented in stories of the great West.
The robbery of the old line stage coach
by Indians and bandits will be repre-
sented, true to life. The scene of a
settlers cabin being fired by Indians,
and the inmates scalped, will be pre-
sented with realistic force. The
method of catching horse thieves by
the wild cowboys of the West, how
they are hung and riddled with bullets,
will also be presented. There will be
life pictures Of the famous Mountain
Meadow massacre, and the famed
Wounded Knee fight between United
States troops and the Indians last year.
A Mexican bull fight and wild buffalo
hunt will also be a feature of this show.
The same week, Raleigh will cele-
brate her one hundredth anniversary.
She will issue thousands of invitations
to people to participate with her in
this event. This will be characterized
by magnificent categorical and trades
float professions, such as have never
been equalled in the South except by
the Mardi Gras.
There will be a magnificent military
feature, participated in by more than
twenty companies, who will engage in
drills, skirmish battles,
etc. These will also indulge in target
practices by teams from various COM
panies. Large cash prizes will be
offered for the most efficient drilling
and for the company most
efficient in drill tactics.
The cornerstone of the great monu-
hCut W w ClCCGCl W CuC IOulcucTdtc
lead Of North Carolina will be laid
With imposing ceremonies. This will
De attended by a tremendous assem-
olage of old Confederate veterans.
Besides these features, there will be
numerous minor attractions arranged
or i'll the way of side-shows, grand
'alls, etc., including the most mag
lificent pyrotechnic display ever seen
n the South. Some of the largest set
pieces ever made will be shown at this
display. The racing of the Fair will
'e special feature the purses aggre-
ate s1,700. Forty-seven fine horses
anticipated in the Raleigh races held
August 18th and 18th, and all these
re under promise to be at the Fair,
While others are swelling the number.
This will be the greatest gala week
hat North Carolina has ever known.
The representation of historical
vents will be special attraction, and
very North Carolinian should be in
saleigh to do honor to the famous oc-
urrences in her history.
