Something About the Privilege Men at
the Fair.

Something About thS Privilege Men at
the Fair.
To the student of human nature no
pleasure OF the big Fair is more inter
esting than the catch-penny devices OF
the fakirs, who are present by the
score. Their stands are arranged In a
long line leading from the various
buildings down to the grand stand
This has been very appropriately term
ed the midway Plaisance.
Many OF the privilege men are old
timers who exc out livelihood by de-
vising new schemes to entice the les
tive nickel from the pockets OF the
susceptible youth. Nothing catches the
eve and the nickel Of the visitor from
the "rooral deestrlcts" quicker than
the striking and blowing machines, In
which he is given an opportunity to
display his superiority in tests OF
strength over bis neighbor from the
adjoining farm. Then there is the man
who considers it silly TO toss balls at
babies. but he will take toss at the
cast-iron head Of darkey, which pro-
trudes through hole in the canvass, II
Ii costs a quarter.
The young man who has his best girl
with him proves an easy victim for the
tintyue man. The cane racks and
shooting galleries retain their old-time
popularity. A comparatively new at
traction is the Ferris wheel, in embryo,
which was well patronized yesterday.
The successful fakir must not have
too high a regard for veracity, but he
must possess above all things else, a
stout pair OF lungs. His lemonade must
be the biggest and coolest glass on the
grounds" unless he offers ''all you can
drink for a nickel" He must be able
TO sing the praises Of hot weinerwurSt,
or he looses customer TO the man who
sells pot pie that actually produces
flesh" His fright this way gents" at
tracts attention. His first point Is then
gained, but he must be glib Of tongue or
he looses his advantage.

TIE BALLOON ASCENSION

Made Under Unfsvorable circumstances.
VIM be Better To-day.
No person was more disappointed in
the balloon ascension yesterday than
the plucky little woman who did not
make the parachute jump, owing to the
fact that the balloon did hot rise high
enough in the air.
II was arranged for two o'clock, and
il was a little after that hour when the
big balloon assembled. The usual crowd
of small boys helped Prof. Trainer TO
initiate the balloon. But the small boys
were not sufficiently acquainted with
the habits of the aerial wanderer
There was a repetition OF the trouble
experienced on the first day. Every
time the balloon swayed about one-half
the boys imagined themselves in danger
and ran for their lives. This allowed
the hot air TO escape, so that it was not
more than half full when the ascent
was made. To-day Prof. Trainer will
secure men TO take the places OF the
boys, and the balloon will soar to a

A considerable additional number OF

yesterday, and it is to be hoped that
more OF he business men will emulate
this example to-day, that the city may
present fitting appearance tomorrow.

Madame Zeno was az interested and

was being prepared for her ascent to
the clouds. When Prof. Trainer called
out. snow let her 60, boys" the balloon
moved toward the north, but did not go
up, until Nine. Zeno had been dragged
fully fifty feet along the ground. Then
IL arose slowly, and moved off In a
northerly direction. Nine. Zeno waved
her handkerchief to the crowd below,
and all waited for the detachment oil
the parachute. The balloon did not &c
higher than zoo or 500 feet, and then
began to descend. The parachute was
not detached, and the whole outfit fell
on Elm street, a few blocks north OF the
Fair Grounds.
A carriage was sent for Nine. Reno,
and when she returned to the grounds
she explained that the balloon-did not

good weatherfor the remaining days
last years successful Fair Will De dupll'
Gated.
Yesterday was children's day, and al
though none Of the schools were dls-
missed, the boys and girls were present
in full force. To say that their faces
wore looks OF pleasure and satisfaction
when they passed through the gates In
the evening, is TO express 1t mildly.
Many OF them came in groups early In
the day, bringing luncheon with them
In boxes. Many were accompanied by
their parents.
Yesterday morning the last EXHIBIT
arrived, and by eleven o'clock the EAR
could be seen in its entirety, and that
means that no visitor will regret the
money expended in visiting the grounds
The display in Horticultural Hall was
finished in the morning. It's probably
not equal to last year in several re-
spects, but this easily accounted for by
the failure of crops. The display OF
potted plants is very fine. Growing
bananas, figs and dates are shown, as
well as many rare exotics. The pastry
display in Horticultural Hall is always
surrounded by women and girls.
The poultry exhibit is one or the
strong features this year. II equals IN
numbers that of previous fairs, put sur
passes in quality and variety. The dlS-
play of agricultural implements is var
led and interesting. The live stock
show is also up so the high standard es-
tablished by the Fair Association.
The Southern exhibit in machinery
hall was visited by every person who
atten ded the Fair, and all were profuse
in their expressions of praise. The
distinctive features OF Southern
life, as shown in the most
realistic manner, could not fall to
please. The cotton press and spinning
wheel, manipulated by a typical South
Carolina colored woman, aud the tur-
pentine still, and tar kiln were the most
interesting features for the women and
children. The magnificent exhibits OF
woods, minerals and grains were exam
ined with great interest by persons who
ara interested in the industrial develop
ment OF the South. Many articles in
the exhibit were offered for sale and the
visitors carried away souvenirs by the
score.
The plantation darkies in their jubi-
lee concerts entertained large crowds at
1880 a. m. and $3.50 p, m. Their inim-
liable gestures am the evident pleasure
which they took in showing OFF, before
white people occasioned a great deal OF
merriment. The concerts will be con-
tinued during the week.
To-day and tomorrow the judges will
make their awards in the different de-
partments, and the exhibits will be dec
Grated with ribbons OF different colors.
