AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
RehearsRls for "Enchantment" win
be Held To-day.

The fairy play ''Enchantment,"
which will be given for the benefit of
the State Fair tomorrow, Wednesday
and Thursday nights, is getting along
splendidly. Full rehearsals will be held
to-day at the Fair grounds. Through
the courtesy of the Savannah, Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope Railway. all
those that take part in the perform
ance, together with their chaperones,
and the ladies of the committee hav-
ing the affair in charge, will be trans
ported free to and from the rehearsals
and the performances.
All those that are to take part in the
performance and who live north of
CASTOR street, are requested to gather
at Guards Hall this afternoon at 2:45.
At 3 o'clock promptly, they will leave
for Habersham and Liberty streets,
where they will take special cars for
the grounds. Participants living south
of CASTOR street are requested to gath
er at the Bolton street junction, from
which cars will leave for the grounds
promptly at 8 o'clock. Those that go
must wear their badges, or fare will
be collected.
Should there be rain or the weather
be threatening, the rehearsal will not
be held at the Fair grounds, but, in
stead, at the Guards Hall. Should this
be the case, and the rehearsal at the
grounds be impossible, the opening
night of the play will have to be post
poned, as a stage rehearsal is an i'm
perative necessity.
Those who are making paper flowers
for the performance are requested to
bring or send the flowers to the GUARDS
Hall this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock.
The stage during the performance
will be beautifully lighted with in
Vulnerable electric lights: thousands of
feet of floral ropes will be used in the
decorations; many horses will be used
in the grand entry of the fairy queen,
Titania, on her magnificent floral float,
attended by her royal retnue-and so
many other beautiful features that go
to produce a bewildering Kaleidoscope
effect, that it is impossible to describe
them all. 1t is sufficient to say that
"Enchantment" will prove to be reve-
lation.
Between the first and second acts will
occur the dance of the flower girls, par
ticipated in by about fifty young ladies,
during the action of which Miss Mar
guerita Suits, as Floraline, Queen of
the Flowers, will execute one of her
most beautiful dances, entering upon
the scene in a gorgeous floral chariot,
drawn by several little boys dressed as
cupids.
The cast of characters will be: IT.
