The Opening Day Attended by at Least 2,000 People Finest Races Ever Witnessed in the State.
 --The Result,

The first State Fair tn tbe history of Pine Bluff is in progress.
 The gates were formally thrown open Tuesday morning and the first days events were witnessed by at least 3, 2,00O spectators. The day was bright, clear and beautiful, and the weather was all that could be de- sired and was most suspicious.
 The events at the Fair grounds were preceded by a trades parade at II o'clock. Long before the hour for the parade to move the streets were thronged with an eager and expeetant public. The procession started from the corner of Main street and Fifth avenue and moved west on Filth 10 Cherry street, thence north on Cherry to Barraque, thence east on Barraque to Main, and thence south to the Fair grounds.
 The parade was headed by the Order of Elks mounted on horse back and wearing the emblems of their order. Following the Elks came the Improved Order of Red Men, on foot, costumed in the gay and guady habiliments of their pro- totypes in the primeval forests. They marched single file, in Indian fashion, and made che of the most attn active and unique features. Of the parade,
 The Red Men were followed by the fire and police departments, the hook and ladder truck coming first, followed by the hose cart and patrol wagon. These were all bedecked in national colors and bunting.
 Then came the Boston Ladies Military band in their bright red uniforms and mounted on large float gayly bedecked with national colors. TLey discoursed music as the procession proceeded aud at tracted no small degre Of attention.
 Then came the floats of enterpris- ing business firms and local insti- tutiens, but these were not as many as expected, many of the me rchants who had promised floats having failed to get them ready in time. Those that were in the parade, how ever, were quite creditable and the merchants who took part in it deserve credit for their enterprise.
 Among the first of the floats was that of the Branch Normal College (colered). This float represented the industrial department of the university.
 J. H. Talbot & Go. had two floats in the parade, one representing the grocery department and the other the celebrated Tenn essee wagon, for which the firm is agent
 The J. B. Speers Go. had float representing a pyramid made from sacks of Omega four for which this firm is exclusive agent.

BRILLIANT WAS THE WEDDING OF MISS BESSIE FOX AND MIR.
 OLIVER GALRRAlTH. The Ceremony Was Witnessed by a Large Number of Friends. The Church Ariis,ically Deco
 orated.

One of the leading social events of the season was the Galbralth- Fox wedding, which was solemnized Tuesday at noon at the Presbyterian church.
 Long before the appointed hour, the church began to fill with the elite of Pine Bluff society, who were all eager to witness the impressive ceremony that was to unite in the holy bonds Miss Bessie Fox and Mr. Oliver Galbraith, both of whom are prominent in society circles here.
 Never before had the Presbyteri- an church been so artically decorat- ed, and it was indeed Ia thing of beauty and s Joy forever" The stately palms held aloft their yer dant beauty just at the altar, while ivy was gracefully entwined here and there among the foliage. The deep-toned organ pealed forth the old yet ever beautiful wedding march by Mendelssohn, and anon the wedding procession began. First came tbe ushers, Messrs. Will Tag gart and M. Pett:grew entered in the left door and Messrs. Curran Nichol and Hubert Strange at the right After these came the beautiful bride who was leaning on the arm of her sister, as, whc acted as Maid of Honor. Atan opposite door and just behind the two ushers came the groom who was csc ortea to the altar by Mir. Neal Martin, who acted as best man.
 Miss Fox was attired in a navy blue travehng suit trimmed in black satio with ribbons to match.
 The groom was astired ir conven- tional black.
 The ceremony was performed in a very impressive manner by Rev. J. L. Caldwell.
 After the ceremony the bridal party, in company with a number of immediate relatives and friends, repaired to the home of the brides parents where an informal recep- tion was held, and at 4:30 left for Jackson, H., to visit relatives and
 pend their honeymoon.
 The bri5e is the charming and ac- eomplished daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Fox. She is prominent in both church and social circles and is universally esteemed for her ac- complishments and beloved for the nobleness of her head and heart.
 Mir. Galbraith, the groom, is tn e son Of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Galbraith and holds les ponsible position at the Cotton Belt shops, He is a sterling young gentleman of good moral habits and splendid business capacity, and is altogether well worthy of the hand of the bride whose heart he has won.
 The bridal presents were numer- ous and elegant.
 The newly welded couple have the since and heartfelt good wishes of a large number of relatives and friends, with whom the GRAPHIC joins in extending it's congratula- tions and good wishes for their future welfare and happiness.

Firemnn's Presence of Mind Avert
ed an Awful Calamity.
a second-clasS fireman serving on
one or the smaller u. S. cruisers had
his head about him when the maga-
zine of his ship was threatened, a few
years ago, and he has had the much
better rating of a watertender ever
since. One OF his shipmates of the
black gang was cleaning his section of
the after engine-room bilges one morn
Ing. His particular section of the
bllges was on the starboard side of the
extreme after part of the engine-room.
Immediately aft Of the engine-room
was the ships magazine, separated
from the engine-room by steel parti-
ton. Bilges are cleaned with turpen-
tine-soaked waste. The bilge-cleaner,
too lazy to fill one of the small tur-
pentine cans provided for the purpose,
dragged a five-gallon can of turpen-
tine to his bilge station and began
work. Smoking is strictly prohibited

combustible stores necessarily slowed

less sort of blade, however. and when
he had got his bilge-cleaning under
way he took out his pipe and lit it,
carelessly chucking the match in the
Dllge. There was some turpentine in
bilge, and the match, still aglow, set
1t into flame. The bilge-cleaner
Jumped to his feet, and in doing so
he overturned the five gallons of tur-
pentine. Then the bilge was converted
into roaring mass of flame that shot
TO the berth-deck gratings and played
directly against the steel bulkhead
separating the engine-room from the
magazine. The careless bilge-c cleaner
was scorched, and he bolted for the
spar deck yelling like madman. The
second-class fireman with the head on
him was the only other man in the
after engine-room at the time this hap
pened. He made a jump for the bilge-
covers that had been removed by his
reckless mate, and, although severely
burned while doing it, he thrust them
over the bilges. Then he seized a
wrench and knocked open one of the
intakes from the sea, letting water
directly into the bilge that was in
names. The water came III so rapidly
that it knocked the bilge-covers off.
