 Above all other things which will inter est people at the fair grounds today will be the races. They will commence at o'clock and for two hours Birmingham will be given some fine trotting and pac- ing races. The other special event is the game of football between the two Bap- tist colleges of the state. There is consid- erable rivalry and the two teams are well matched, therefore a reasonably close game may be expected.
 The guideless horses will be another of the new acts and this is said to be equally as wonderful as the two horses which plunge from the stand thirty-hve feet high into the water below. It may be said that more people are interested in this act than any other which the fair management has secured.
 Still a fourth feature of the programme today will be the dog driving a horss around the racetrack. This is classed among the other acts of well trained ami mals, which are proving to be the best attractions of the fair.
