WILL NOT FORFEIT
 FAIR GROUND LEASE
Association Going to Work to Give a Street Exhibition Next
 Year.

John W. O'Neill. secretary of the Fair Association, said yesterday that the ac- tion of the board of directors in deciding not to hold an exhibition this year would not cause a forfeiture of the lease of the grounds Notwithstanding the fact that the lease was conditioned on fair being held every year, arrangements have been made whereby the lessor will allow the association to resume operations next year on the original contract.
 J. A. MacKnight of South Carolina who was here comforting with the association with view to managing a fair this month in the event it was decided to give one, left for his home yesterday after noon. He said that he could have organ ized at once and given fairly good show inside of thirty days, but that since the exhibition for this fall had been aban- doned far better, one could be held next year, with ample time to prepare for 1t. He suggested that the association start to work as early as February or March.
 Whether I am appointed manager or not, will do all I can to pull the fair along" said MT. Mcknight

LABOR AGENT
 AFTER NEGROES
Offering Special Inducements to Men at Work Around
 EnsIev

Enslcy, Sept. 3O.-(Special.)-A la bor agent has been in this city for the past two or three days offering special inducements to the negro laborers to get them to go to other districts to work. A number of them left this evening, and more are ex- pected to follow during the week. There Is strong demand here for this class of laborers, and their removal from this section will be felt strongly by the various industries located here. 2 Dr. Glasgow of Owenton College conducted the services at the Meth odist Church last night, and nd~Presiding Elder J. D. Simpson preached on yes terday morning. Services were held at the usual hours today by the pas tor. The meeting will continue throughout the week.
 The Alabama Steel and Wire Com pany is preparing to resume night work in the rod and wire mills. A number of the men who operated the night turn before have returned to the city, and the extra work is ex- pected to begin in the next few days. ,A The street cars were crowded today with the rush to see the openings in Birmingham. .

POTATOES IN DEMAND.
No Changes Yesterday In Produce
 Quotations.

The country produce market was fairly active yesterday. There were no changes in the quotations Irish potatoes were in great demand, but the supply was limit ed. Large consignments are expected to- day.
 Speaking of chickens and eggs, l.. A. Townley, one of the oldest merchants in Morris avenue, remarked that 1t was a shame that Alabama farmers did not pay more attention to poultry. "A number of commodities that we sell here cannot be grown profitably in this section." said MT. Townley, but we could certainly raise our own chickens. As 1t Is, all the eggs and chickens on this market now are shipped here from other states, most of them from Tennessee. If our truck farmers were as industrious as they should be they would raise second crop potatoes and supply the Birmingham market through the fall months. Second crops will not thrive on the hills. but they will do well in the low lands.'
 Coming back to poultry. chickens will do we'll if properly attended to, anywhere in the South, and our country. friends should get a move on themselves"
 MT. Townley cultivates a truck farm on the top of Shades Mountain and makes it pay. He sells enough vegetables and eggs and chickens off his place to be in dependent of his Morris avenue business. and it would seem what he can do other farmers should be able to accomplish.

DOGS AND PONIES
 DELIGHT THOUSANDS
Some of the Clever Acts Done By Animals In the Gentry
 Show,

The Gentry Dog and Pony show delight ed hundreds of people yesterday after noon, when the ladies were out accom- night the great tents were crowded to the entrance.
 The show becomes larger and finer each year. and today 1t probably presents the greatest array of highly trained dogs, ponies, monkeys and elephants in the world. It is an all-star collection, every animal having a speciality. and the whole constituting a galaxy of alert animal in- telligence.
 The monkeys are perhaps the leaders followed by the dogs and ponies, and the elephants are by no means dull. They may be slow, but they are by no means lacking in intelligence. The ponies. too. do marvellous acts of balancing and the like, and one leaps as he run over a great Dane, the dog springing alternately over the pony.
 The trained dogs are, however, the marvel of the show, from the English hounds who make astonishing leaps, to the smallest poodle. The poodles, both French and Russian, are the most numerous in the list of dog artists. One shaggy fellow has been trained to turn back somersaults as the word Is given. There are few acts within a dogs com prehension that these dogs do not pre- sent.
 The entertainment lasts nearly two hours. and 1t Is replete from beginning to ending with amusing or surprising acts in trained animal life. MT. Gentry cer- tainly loves animals, for he pets his pets more than he threatens them. The en- tertainments will be repeated today.

GOWNS AND HATS
 ON FALL PARADE Big Stores Have Their Autumn
 Openings THE LATEST IN FASHIONS Throngs of Women Crowded the Shops All Day--DistlnotIy Sea- son of "veivet Point Lace
 and Diamonds"
THE LATEST IN FASHIONS

The autumn openings which began yes- terday and will continue today thronged the downtown streets with something of the jam of the holidays. The September day was hardly typical of fall. It was more like a sunny. bslmy day in June, and the winter fabrics and the snug cloaks might have seemed incongruous were 1t not that everybody expected to see them, regardless of the weather.
 In the great shops where the openings were held every effort had been made for elaborate displays, and the openings were 0 marked success. In window decora- ton, in the interior arrangement there was every evidence that Birmingham merchants keep abreast of those great commercial centers whence the rich fab rics are imported, and the elegant gowns. hats, cloaks, fresh from the hands of the importer do not suffer when displayed as they were yesterday in Birmingham's s most fashionable shops.

At Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb's depart was less attempt at the displaying Of materials than usual The richest and most costly fabrics were there, but the season is really too rich a one for the materials to be heaped upon counters.

Joseph & Loeb, and this expression suggestive of all that is sumptuous de- scribes the trend of the seasons fabrics. The silks come in the heavy brocades of our grandmother's day and those shown yesterday were gorgeous in coloring and design. Among the handsomest materials are the Jacuard brocades combined with the printed works. In appliques there are many novelties and the latest Parisian effects were shown with all the newest and swellest fabrics.
 'In the millinery department the crea- tions included the beautiful importations from Paris. Castor and yellow and green. are the predominating shades.
 This firm has brought on a magnificent line of tailor gowns. ready-made skirts and cloaks.
 Among the handsome cloaks was Louis ". Then there are the Pony Raglans, the Newmarkets. and the late ulster like garments in black taffeta.
 The decorations ip the big shop were bewildering. As mammoth a place as 1t is, there were ropes of chrysanthemums stretched from one end of the big build ing to the other, and miles of wild smilax draped the interior. There was an orchestra. crush. a gay time for all.

President Northrop, who has just re-
turned from the East, when asked as to
his opinion of the result, said: 81 am not
surprised at the outcome, and L would
not have been surprised had Minnesota
won" He spoke about football general
ly, and said, ne enjoyed the sport and
thought it was all right, but he did not
believe in the protesting of players, car
ried to such an extent as it had been this
year, especially .wnere the spirit of the
rules had not been violated. He said this
matter should be remedied, and no doubt
it would be and SUCH occurrences in the
future, which caused nothing but hard
feeling among colleges, would be left out.
The thirty-third degree rooter is still
of the opinion that Minnesota is all right,
and the boys will be given right royal
welcome when they return. They should
do this, for they have yet to play two
hard games, one with Northwestern and
one with Illinois, and the university can
not stand for duplication of yesterdays
performance. Some are charitable
enough to say that the players were over
confident and did not reckon wisely wit6

should not be any excuse. They were
beaten fairly and honestly, and Wiscon-
sin will be given full credit
