MORE HORSES THAN STALLS.
Fondest Hopes of Those Interested
Al BE Realized.

W III he Rc0tiEeu.
All day long carpenters were busy
working on the additional stalls au-
thorized by the Fair Association. The
workmen were saving and driving with
than to-day to finish up the eighty
more stalls that were decided on. That
will give 22S. but that will not be
enough. and more will have to be con-
structed. There are more than enough
horses on the grounds now, that have
they are finished.
1t was found necessary to move the
tables from under the poultry shed and
stable the horses there. The shed fur
nished accommodations for many of
the racers that could not be given room
in the stables. The cattle sheds were
also pressed into service for the horses,
which were tied up with halters. All
the space in the cattle sheds could not
be given to the horses. however. as
two carloads of Devon and other fancy
breeds of cattle arrived during the day
and had to be given their quarters.
1t is estimated that there are about
235 horses at the Fair grounds now. II
was said that seventy-five more more
are expected to-day, so that it may be
seen that here is every prospect of the
number running above 300. The racers
will arrive daily until after the meet
ing has opened. Stalls will be provided
as horses arrive.
The fondest hopes of the gentlemen
in charge of the racing seem in fair
way TO be realized in the number Of
horses that will be at the track It
was thought not improbable that there
would he 200. but 300 had been hoped
for. With 200 horses, good races would
have been assured. but with 200 there
can be no question as to their success.

AGAINST SEPARATE CARS.
General Manager McIntire Thinks
the Law Would Cause Trouble.


the Law Would Cause Trouble.
The Savannah. Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Railway Company has not as
yet taken up the. fight against the bill
proposed by Representative Fielder of
Bibb, for the separation of the races
in street cars. The measure will be in
troduced in the House to-day, and the
corporations interested in Macon are
making a hard fight against its pass
age. The Savannah Street Railway
Company has up to the present kept
hands off in the matter, although it's
representatives will probably actively
oppose the measure if it reaches the
Senate.
General Manager Lucien H. McIntire
stated yesterday that the question of
making a fight on the bill has not
been considered up to the present time.
He has always opposed such legisla-
ton and gives as his reason that the
enactment of such a law could not pos
sibly be of any benefit, and in reality
McIntire has given the matter serious
consideration since he has been in the
South, and that he is quite sure the
plans being suggested for the separa-
ton are impracticable. He believes the
passage of such a law is a step in the
wrong direction, and expresses the be-
lief that with such a statute there
would be no end of trouble.

FIXING UP THE MIDWAY.
Preparations for the Shows That
VIII Arrive Tomorrow.

Prominent on the grounds, both be-
cause of its location and because of it's
superior attractions, will be the Mid
way. This will be just to the right of
the main entrance to the grounds, a
position that will insure 1t the notice
of all visitors. Long before they reach
the Fair grounds, visitors, whether
they travel by dirt road, the Savan-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
street railway or the Plant System,
will have their attention arrested by
the many tents and buildings, but
nearest of all to the approach will be
the Midway.
1t was originally the intention of the
Fair Association and Mr.. +. T. Ziegler,
who represented the Canton Carnival
Company, which owns the Midway, to
have the shows within the space that
is partially enclosed by the Fair build
ings and the railing of the race track,
fencing being constructed where need
ed to complete the barrier against
those who might seek to gain entrance
without paying. This plan was chang
ed, however and the Midway people
are glad it was.
The portion of the grounds just west
of the main entrance. between Dale
avenue and the race track, was care
fully graded and has been fenced in. 1t
affords a splendid place for the Mid
way shows, and those connected with
the Midway expect to do a much great
er business at that location than they
would had the original intention been
carried out.

and an Elk, who has already made
many friends here and who knows his
business thoroughly, is superintendent

PLEA FOR The CHURCH.
Rev. DIR. Jordan ExhOrts COngrega-
ton to Place Church First.

Rev. DIR. Jordan Exhorts COngrega-
tion to Place Church First.
Rev. DR.. John D. Jordan preached at
the First Baptist Church last night a
sermon that was in effect an appeal to
the outside members of his congrega-
ton to devote less of their energies to
outside charitable and benevolent or
ganizations and more to their own
church.
The text was from Acts, Xx:2S, Take
heed, therefore, unto yourselves and to
all the flock, over which the Holy
Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed
the church of God, which he hath pur-
chased with his own blood"
DR.. Jordan said that the ideal of the
pastor had changed very materially
since the early days of the church.
Then he was principally a preacher.
but times had changed and the pastor
had been transformed into sort of
general utility man. appealed to IN
every emergency that confronted any
member of his flock The pastors OF
the city were expected to give assist
ance, personal and financial, to every
institution of charity or benevolence
and much of their time was thus taken
away from their churches.
He instanced several institutions, the
homes for widows and orphans, the
Port Society the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, the Young Mems
Christian Association and others. The
work and aims of all of these he COM
mended highly, and said that he had
always been willing to give them every
assistance in his power. He expressed,
however, the deliberate conviction that
the work of every one of these could
be better done inside the church than
by any outside agency.
Of the Port Society he said he sonlc-
times feared that it gave the seamen
more sandwiches and coffee than gos-
pei, and added that it was the re-
ligious work that should be stressed,
and not that feature of It which he
symbolized with sandwiches and cof-
fee.
He expressed some little scepticism
as to the total value of the work OF
the w. c. T. u. though he said 1t
was idle to attempt to dismiss the or
ganization and the good it wrought
with a contemptuous word. Every
church." he said, should be in the
highest, truest and best sense, tenn
perance organization. 1t is foolish to
turn this noble work over to a few
good old women, most of whom are
too feeble to be able to get about the
streets"
DR.. Jordan said it is not true that the
churches do not reach young men, a
statement that is often made and sell
dom denied. 1t is true that there are
many young men who are not reached
by the churches. but he declared that
the churches reach and affect the lives
of twenty times more young men than
any other institution for good.
IF the members of the churches
would devote their efforts to their
churches and not spread their energies
over so wide a surface, very much
more good would be accomplished;
very many more young men would be
reached and saved.

PRICES OF ADMISSION.
what II viii Cost to See the Great
state Fair.

There has been considerable inquiry
as to the prices of admission to the
State Fair 1t has been generally UNI
derstood that the price for grown peo-
pie would be so cents, but there are
other points upon which enlightenment
is desired; for instance, whether
half-rate would be charged for chill
dren. This will be the case Until Z
o'clock each day during the Fair the
price of admission for adults will be
so cents. while that for children under

TWO GREAT GEORGIANS.
Mr.. duBignon's Choice for Hall OF
Fame ogIethorpe and stephens.

Fame oglethorpe and stephens.
Hon. Fleming G. duBignon is of
opinion that the two great Georgians
whose statues should be placed "a the
hall of statuary, in Washington, are
Gen. Edward Oglethorpe and Alexan-
der H. Stephens. In his opinion these
men are the greatest Georgians of
whose lives and deeds history tells.
I'm sense, of course" said Mr. du-
Bignon, Gen. Oglethorpe was not a
Georgian, for he was. not born in this
state. But he founded the colony and
the state to-day is the best monument
to his splendid and unselfish philan-
thropy. Non sibi. sed aliis,' might
have been the motto of his life, and
certainly Georgia owes more of love
and honor to him than to any other
man.
And the statue of Mr. Stephens
should be placed with that of Gen.
Oglethorpe. That he was one of the
states two greatest men does not to
my mind admit of question.
In the contrariety of views as to the
selection of the second man. there
seems to be no dispute that Gen. Ogle-
thorpe should be the flrSt selected.
Some of those with whom the matter
has been discussed believe that he can
scarcely be considered a Georgian, but
they all agree that if Gen. Oglethorpe's
eligibility is conceded his statue should
be one of those to represent the state
at Washington.
In the meantime the method of rails
ing the funds to place the statues in
Washington-by popular subscription,
seems to have been unwisely chosen.
Many believe 1t altogether impracti-
cable, as few will be found sufficiently
broad and patriotic to subscribe un-
less they are assured that their par
ticular candidates for the honor are to
receive it. 1t is thought here that the
Legislature would have done better to
appropriate the money itself and then
to have selected those upon whose dead
shoulders this particular mantle of
greatness should fall. The popular sub
scription scheme seems to promise that
the plan of placing the statues in
Washington will be left in the same
unsatisfactory condition it has occu-
pied since the Hall of Statuary was
first established.

FRACTURED HIS LEG.
Negro Fell From Wagon of Hay at
Fair Grounds.

Ross Allen, negro employed by M
]. Doyle, fell from a heavily loaded
wagon near the State Fair grounds
yesterday and sustained a fracture of
the left leg. The wagon was loaded
with hay for the horses at the race
track. and Allen was on top of the
pile.
The wagon struck a rough place on
Dale avenue, just outside of the Fair
grounds, and Allen went tumbling to
the ground. The man howled with pain
as he struck and ground, and a crowd
gathered around him. He was lying on
the side of the road when the police
ambulance arrived, and conveyed him
to the Georgia Infirmary for treat
ment. ..
