CAROLINA's CARNIVAL
Every Thing Ready for Our Great
State Fair.

State fair. Ihe toucnlng up OF the
grounds and buildings has been COM
pleted. The space for the different ex-
hiblts has been assigned, and applica-

promptly answered by Secretary Hollo-
way and his assistants. All the indi-
cations point to a fair that shall
be among the greatest in all
the history of the Agricultural
Society. Not only will there be plenty
to see, but there will be p'enty Of peo:
pie to zee them. Unless all signs fail
there will be a great croEd here all the

Of the fair will be better filed with
varied exhibits than eyer before-:bus
afording to visitors a view Of objects
that will not only interest but advantage

large. Other features will attract visl-
tors and entertain them also.

Excellent arrangements for the quar-
tering and feeding Of the troops nave
been perfected, and nothing will be left
undone that will contribute to their
comfort. The place for the encaup-
ment is convenient to the fair grounds,
and otherwise we'll adapted to the par
pose. There will be abundance Of good
water.
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
Il is now settled that the students of
Clemson College and Winthrop College,
and the cadets of the Citadel Academy
will attend the fair for one day at least
Clemson and Winthrop will have an
exhibit illustrating the work done By
its students. The cadets OF both
Clemson and the Citadel viii appea IN
the parade of the troops when they are
reviewed by the governor. Some Of the
finest drilling ever witnessed in South
Corolina may be expected of both corps.
on THE STREETS.
People IS s rule prefer to spend part
of each day of fair week down street.
They want 10 see Columbis. Aud Co
lumbia wants to see them. So the cit9
folks have arranged, for every after
noon, street exhibition consisting Of
acrobatic performances, ti9ht-rops
walking, and other feats by fcst-class
artists.
PAINS FIREWORKS.
Preparations are rapidly making for
the pyrotchnic displays on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday Of fair week.
This will be one of the greatest attrac-
tions of the week. 1t will take place in
rear Of the fair grounds-where there is
natural amphitheatre striknigly adapt
ed for such an exhibition. Comfortable
seats will be provided for the immense
crowd that will surely attend.
ACCOMMODATIONS.
Columbia's hotels and boarding
houses could not be expected to accom-
modate the throng Of visitors IN fair
week. The management OF the CITY
Fair Association have therefore arrans-
ed to have quarters in numerous private
houses in different parts of the city, 90
most reasonable terms.

Here is letter which tells Of one big
attraction:
