ton street to South, up South street to
Fayetteville street to the Capitol. and
thence to the fair grounds. The
Greensboro Cornet Band led the pro-
cession and made music during the
fair.
The special and very interesting fea-
ture of the parade was the famous and
celebrated bicycle rider, Lester Nc
Daniels. of South America, the cham
pion bicycle rider of the world. who
will give daily exhibitions of his skill
in that art each day OF the fair.
The association having fixed the
price of admission to their fair at %
cents, requested the railroad authori-
ties to make a like reduction in the
coupons sold. They declined to do so
upon the grounds that it would be un-
derstood by those interested in other
fairs as discriminating. This makes
it necessary for the association to
make public the facts, and all those
who purchase tickets at so cents will
be admitted to the fair for two days.

Edwards's letter and I heartily indorse the
mark of President schurman. as follows: I regret
that the Americans allowed the saloon get
foothold in the islands That has hurt the Ameri-
cans more than anything else. and the spectacle
Of Americans drunk awakens disgust in the Fill
pinos. We suppressed the cock fights there and
permitted the Uaverns TO flourish"

letter, the Rev Dr.. T L. PouIson bitterly assailed
