Here Before-The City, as Well as

for the Race Track.
The merchants of the city are unan-
imous in the verdict that the State Fair
brought much money to Savannah, and
that by all means it should be held
here again next year. Not only was the
week a lively one in all branches OF
trade, but the city was greatly bene-
fitted by the presence of so many
strangers.
The merchants, who were the closest
observers of the crowds, say that the
visitors were of a better class, and bet
ter off financially than any who have
visited Savannah, on holiday occasions,
in recent years. Not few of them had
never visited the city before and did
not realize the extent of the business
facilities here, or the inducements Of
lered to purchasers.
Mayor Myers is one of those who be-
lieve that the State Fair was good
thing for Savannah, and that 1t should
be repeated next year. The Mayor re-
allied that the Fair not only attracted
strangers with money to spend, but
also showed them the many advan-
tages of the city. They inspected the
shipping facilities and with interest
went through the business houses. 1t
was not expected that the
Fair itself would be a finan-
cial success the first year.
but with the knowledge of such enter
tainments CLEANED by the othcers OF
the association from the Fair that
closed last night, and with the build
ings, and ALI excellent RATE track
ready for the next occasion, there is
no reason why money should not be
made by the association, according to
those who have given the matter con-
siderable thought.
While almost every branch of trade
made money out of the visitors to the
Fair, a good deal of IL was taken in
by the restaurants and hotels in sums
of money, and had their hands full
during the ten days that ended last
night. While the merchants, both
wholesale and retail, report large in
crease in business they have not yet
gotten all the money that can be at
tributed to the presence of Fair visi-
tors. Most of the merchants say that
the advertising they got out of the Fair
is invaluable and that they will prob
ably get returns that can be credited
to that source, for several months. The
local trade, too will probably be much

EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.
Some of Those That Attracted Atten-
ton From Passing ThrOngs

There were many interesting exhib-
it's at the State Fair that hitherto
have escaped newspaper notice, though
they have not failed to attract the at
tention of the public. They contrib
uted largely to make the Fair the en-
tire artistic success that it became.
One of these displays was the exhibit
of boots and shoes made by Jos. Rosen-
helm & Sons of Savannah, for which
a diploma, testifying the excellence of
the exhibit, was awarded by the
judges.
Mr.. ]. c. DeMartin received the
award for the best foodbox and the
best oats cleaner. He exhibited the
Wellsteed Patent Feedbox and the
Kasper Oats Cleaner, getting the pre-
MUM with them.
In the fine arts building at the State
Fair one of the most interesting ex-
hibits that attracted more than pass
ing attention was the exhibition of
Regina Music Boxes, displayed by
A. l.. Desbouillons and showing the gi-
gantic strides of improvements made
upon the old Swiss affairs by this mod
ern American inventor.
The interchangeable, indestructible
steel discs discoursed a varied assort-
ment of sweet music that pleased the
old as well as the young, and was lis
tened to by the passing throng.
The premium for the best collection
of miniatures, SIS. was awarded by the
judges in the Fine Arts Department to

were given a preliminary examination

warrants were sworn out. At the in

DDS One of the highest authorities
on playwriting, commenting upon the
relative value of dialogue and situa-
ton, has made the assertion that the
spoken text is comparatively an in
significant part of the playwrights
labors. According to him, the best

its dialogue to the extent of being
susceptible of Interpretation in panto-

truth of this contention can be found
than is afforded in the last act of

into the Office of the general manager
ranging from those who had won the
big prizes to those whose Individual
displays entitled them to the receipt
of a single dollar. BY o'clock more
than $4,000 had been paid out and the
crowds were still coming. There re-
mains still to be paid out about SO, 900
in addition, and those who have won
premiums at the Fair and have not
yet received them will have a check

A perfect system is being observed in
