STEINMETZ AND HIS FLOWERS.
A Raleigh Fair without Mr.. FL. Stin-
metz and his beautiful floral EXHIBIT
would not be complete, however many
other attractions it contained. We can
hardly tell how State Fair would real
ly look without Mr.. Steinmetz and his
flowers, for he never fails to be there.
To the ladies the Steinmetz exhibit is
centre of attraction. 1t is a beautiful
rose tinted, green, tipped flower, decked
index of the Stinmetz Flower Gardens,
located in the northern suburbs of the
city, which is within itself one Of the
capital city's greatest attraction, and
its most artistic enterprise, Mr.. Steinmetz
is botan;st and florist of State renown
and his beautiful flowers have perfum-
ed and beautifed halls and homes and
marriage affairs all over the State. See
his display at the Fair to-day.
THE CRYSTAL MAZE.
The Crystal Maze is amaZing-a mir
rowed palace. To go through is to take
little excursion through Wonderland.
1t is one of the best attractions that
has ever been placed on exhibition. 1t
is the attractive storm center of the
busy Midway, and all day yesterday
people were pouring into it. And not
one returned without EXPLANATIONS of
delight The Crystal Maze is feature
of the great Victor Leavitt Shows.
Mr.. Leavitt has been to Raleigh of
ten and ours is one of his favorite Fairs.
He never fails to bring splendid
attractions. Besides the Maze he has
tented animal amusement that is one
of the most interesting features of the
Midway. In this is Wallace, the IA
nous mean-eating lyon, and his keeper,
Mr.. Griffith, the only man on earth who
dares to approach the cage Of Wallace.
Before him, however, this King Of
Beasts quakes and trembles. 3@.e.''ir
The Levitt attractions add much to
the Fair, and everybody should see
them. The Maze is in charge of Mr.. J.
f. Barrett, the clever press agent, and
more than three thousand people saw it
yesterday.
SMOKERS ATTRACTION.

& Son Manufacturing Company, Of

as well as one of the Invest and most
popular young business men in the
State Mr.. s. f. Tomlinson, the manager
of the Morriss Manufacturing Company,
is one of the Fairs best friends. He
sends Mr.. Cole with a vast and beautiful

year they Guido themselves and their
exhibit in Floral hall is a center of at
traction The celebrated Key West che
roots. the famous Virginia Dare cigars,

co form the basis of this exhibit and the
does credit to the company.
A special feature is half dozen beauti

On account of having to put so much
artistic painting ON the outside of the
North Carolina Car, it will be impossi-
BILE to get it to Raleigh in time for the
State Fair. Mr.. III. S. Leard has re-
ceived letter from the managers, stat

have been delayed and that the car will
