Fayetteville, n. c., November 4
The thirty-ninth annual fair of the
Cumberland County Agricultural So
ciety will begin tomorrow and continue
four days. This fair is now in the cir
cult of fairs so that the attractions and
horses at the other fairs will nearly all
be here. Among the most interesting
features will be the ostriches which
attracted such attention at the state
fair at Raleigh. There will be races
between ostriches and horses, each be-
ing hitched to a buggy. There will be
more attractions. it is said, han eve
before. The track has been put in
splendid condition for the races.
Sheriff Burns returned from the
Winston fair Friday and says twenty
OF the race horses there will be here.
The purses are liberal and of sufficient
size to attract scores of horses, and
the racing will be the most interesting
ever witnessed on this historic track.
Races commence every day at l o'clock
p. m. sharp.
The high diving will be another at
traction, free to all.
The grounds and buildings have been
put in good shape and rendered more
attractive.
Trapese performances, wire walking,
a lady descending from inclined wire
suspended by her hair, bicycle riding
razzle dazzle. %go-round, and many
others are among the attractions.
People are already beginning to come
in for the fair, and all signs point to a
very large attendance. People who
enjoy the crowd and varied amuse-
ments should not miss coming Novem-
Der 9Th, 9Th, 7th and 8th.
President Walter Watson and Secre
tary G.. w. Lawrence are the busiest
men in town, and their devoted atten-
ton to the preparations for the fair
will show fine results. Captain J. B.
