FlTTlNGLY CELEBRATED AT
 THE FAIR MONDAY.
A Beautiful Day Brought Out a Good Sized Audience Interesting Races With Close
 Finishes.

MOnd ay was Labor Day at the Great Ssate Fair.
 The morning opened bright aud clear, and it was truly typical Oc- tober day in the Sunny Southland. The cold soda and ice cream men did fourishing business, and 6 num- bar or railroad men being in attend ance, the miniature Cotton Belt rail- way came in for large share of at tention.
 The various labor organizations were fairly well represented, but the crowd was not large enough to cause the side-show men to smile in their sleep last night after taking such vigorous lung exercise during the day.
 The day was in charge of Messrs. T. H. Osborne, R. H. Rue and J. ". Langston. but owing to the rush of business the Cotton Belt snops did not close down and the attendance was not therefore as large as ex- pected.
 There were five very exciting races and close finishes. The events were as follows:
 Running, all ages, 5 furlongs,
 Purse $50.
 Finished: Little Dick, 1st; Jim B.,
 2nd, Sallie Morgan 3rd 2-Trotting- roadsters il harness, !

Not So .Fly. 3

Two of the gentlemen who are taking advantage of our State Fair to pull in few shekels from our unsophis tieated farmers to tide them through the wioter, for ''they tol not, neither do they spin, but Solomon in all his glory was not attired like one of these," were beautifully overreached in a. little Icon" game they attempted to work the other day on rounder whom they mistook for 8 farmer. Ap- preaching the gentleman smoothly, they proposed to give him an oppor- tunity to make whole lot ofmoney, by giving him lead-pipe ctach in the horses to tack in the races, they. of course, to receive 8 per eentage for their omEiscience prior to the races. The rounder entered into the scheme heartily, but was sorry that he had not yet received the $125 due him, which he would receive, however, on the morrow, and play for all there was in it, and wound up by a hard-luck story which made it easy for him to make borrow from each Of the "fy Then, and he did it. The dead game sports on the morrow, will decide they played in dead hard luck, for, it is needless to say, the rounder has no s125 due him, nor is he likely to have.

ADDITIONAL EXHIBITS.
ReeeiTed and Placed on Exhibition in
 Agricultural Hall.

Additional exhibits are placed in position daily at the Fair grounds.
 This is notably true of Agrieuitur- al Hall where several attractive ex- hibits have been added within the last two days.
 On last Saturday especial fruit ex- hibit was received from MT. Jacob Schlaefii. of Washington county. The entire exhibit is from Mir. Schlaefii's orchard, and includes every variety of apples grown in this State. It would be a creditable ex- hibit under any circumstances. and it is especially so since it is from "ne orchard.
 A most unique exhibit which was added Saturday is that of a bae boo brier root by W. d. Phillips. from near Sulphur Springs. This is a curious freak of natare and is well worth seeing.
 The Harkey Saddlery Co.,. of Rus sellville, have placed on exhibition a very fine saddle manufactured in their factory. It is a very large and handsome piece of workmanship, and when it is known that every part of it, including the leather, was manufactured in this State, it is doubly interesting.
 The Johnson county exhibit has been added to by some very fine specimens of coal from the SIillwell mines at Spadra and Coal Hill.
 L. T. Sanders & Son, proprietors of the Louisiana Nursery at Plain Dealing, La, have on exhibit some very fiRe pears, no doubt the finest and largest ever seen in this State They areknown as Keiffer pears and measure from six to eight inches in circumference.
 Arkansas county has sent in an exhibit of pears grown on two-year- old trees. Also some black oats.
 Col. Bob Crockett, of Stuttgart exhibits a large bottle of very fine Japanese persimmons.
 Altogether the exhibits in Agricul- tural Hall are most creditable and must be seen to be appreciated.

LAT SHOULD BE FERRET ED OUT BY PINE
 BLUFF OFFICERS.
Iohn F. Powers, of t Mobile, Ala. Narrowly Escapes Death by a Cowardly
 Assault.s

Frank Lamar and wife, two of the
 booebie koochie crowd expelled from
 tbp Fair grounds last week, decided
 to leave their board bill unpaid and
 Ioave the town Saturday night. MT.
 Ro5inson, the proprietor of the
 D.gey house, at which they had
 l,-sn boarding, naturally objected $ 10 such proceeding on their part,
 and just prior to their departure for # Memphis, hunted up Officer Reed and a negro special policeman < whose name we could not learn, to # try and prevent their departure. 4 Lamar, however, by good bluff, H persuaded the officers that they had z no legal right to molest him, and q they desis ted in their attempt to do # Sc. Mr. J. F. Powers, of Mobile, Ala, who was watching the pro- ceedings stepped on the lower sep of the coach, just before it pulled out. to get a closer view of the ab- sconding parties, when some coward ly misereant approached him from behind and struck him a terrible blow on the top of the head with a club, knocking him from the steps and under the car. Just then the train started and Mr. Powers in- sensible and bleeding. was dragged some distance before being rescued from his perilous position. He was recovered and removed to tbe Dewey house, where 8 doctor was summoned 10 dress the wounds. It was thought at first that he had re- ceiyed fracture of the skull, but at last accounts he was improving. It was cowardly and unprovoked as sault, as far as we can learn, aud it's perpertratos should be apprehended and made to suffer for it.
 A dozen people are said to have witnessed the assault, to whom the assailant was known, but it is hard to find those who were present and will testify.
 For the honor of Pine Bluff such deed should rot be allowed to go unpunished.

SUNDAY AT THE FAIR. A SACRED CONCERT BY THE
 LADIES' BAND. 4 Baseball Game and Balloon As- tension Proved Good At.
 fractions.

Sunday was an ideal Fair day, the sun shedding it's rays with just sufficient strength to dispel the chil- Illness which has characterized the days heretofore, during our State Fair, and not ardently enough to render exposure to its smile uncom- fortable.
 Tke people appreciated the be- nign frame of mind eyinced by Sol, and turned out in goodly numbers to testify their appreciation thereof, and to enjoy day of sightseeing and recreation amid the various at fractions and amusements of our Arkansas State Fair.
 Late Saturday evening the man. agement decided to have as an ad- ditional attraction for Sundays di- yertisement, Q balloon ascension and trapeze performance in mid air by Mile. Copeland, the "Queen of the Clouds,n of California. and sacred concert by the young ladies composing the Boston Ladies Milf tary Band.
 The people did not begin to ar. rive in any considerable numbers at the grounds until the afternoon, but by two p. m. the grounds were filled with a crowd of well dressed happy ard orderly people.
 The time intervening between the hour of arrival and the hoar set for Mile. Copeland's aerial performance was spent by the visitors in listen ing to the sweet strains of music discoursed by the Boston Ladies Military Band and ,he Maginell- Mullin Concert Co.,, in charge of Womble's piano exhibit, and in cir culauing through the grounds to feast their eyes and artistic sense on the various attractive exhibits.
 Just previous to the balloon as tension, the stable-boys ard touts had an exciting game of baseball on the grounds. MT. William H. Me Kinley (not President Mckinley, though he somewhat resembles the Presidents photographs acted as umpire and the game resulted in a score of 5 to 5. Five innings were played and the features of the game were wrangle brought on by Kid Conroy's alleged balky pitch to first in the second inning, which, if one could judge by the vociferous argu- ments, bade fair to wind up the game then and there in 8 general scrap, and, in one-legged mans brilliant covering of third. "Onion Dick" the captain of the Touts, who seemed to be power among the "Chimmy Faddens' of the opposing sides, quelled the lneipient insur rection, however, and with due regard for his personal safety, the writer left the boys to battle for superiority in their own peculiar way.
 At 4:l5 the balloon was placed in position to fll, but owing to the fact of the wind having risen dan- gerously high for the lady's ascent, blowing in the direction of the thickly settled portion of town, Mr. Johnson, the owner of the balloon outfit, negotiated with Prof. T. E. Kinkade, professional aeronaut who has been conducting a stand on the ground, to make the ascent in Mile. Copeland's stead. The balloon and parachute being much smaller than Prof. Kinkade generally uses h hls business there were some mis- givings as to the ultimate result of the venture, but at D. m., the bal loon being in shape for the ascent, Prof. Kinkade gave tbe word to lett

Dairy Farmers Object.

A meeting of representative dairy farm
crs Of Maryland was held Tuesday at the
Carrollton Hotel, Baltimore, to consider
what legislation is necessary for the pro-
lection of their herds from tuberculosis.
Presi ent R. W. Sylvester, of the Mary
land A gricultural College, presided, and
Mr.. A. B. Gardiner, Of Baltimore county,
was secretary.
Amendments to the law proposed by the
State live stock sanitary board were dis
cussed, with the result that few of the sug-
gestions of the board met with approval.
The State sanitary live stock boards
sorry inspection of dairy herds supplying
the larger cities and the issue of certificates
to those herds found healthy or made
healthy. .. A charge of 81 to the owner
for each COW tested, and the payment by
the State Of $15 for each animal that is
diseased. ). To ask the Legislature for
$4,000 to carry out this act. To these
were added certain restrictions relating
to COWS and milk coming from outside the
State
The objections were that compulsory in
spections should not be required, and that
all inspections should be made upon the
request of the owner of the COW; that the
cost Of the inspection should not be borne
by the owner, but should be paid for out
of the appropriation by the State; that the
sum of $15 would not be Il sufficient recon-
pense for slaughtered animal, and thai
its value should be determined by apprais
ers, and that the appropriation asked fol
was entirely too great, ahd that not moro
than So 900 should be appropriated fo1
the first year.
The president was directed to appoint ;
committee to confer with the State boarC
and to prepare IA law in accordance will
the views Of the dairy farmers.
