 Change In Prices.
 The fair management has made a change in the plan for charging for the grand stand Instead of its costing 25 cents to enter the grand stand and 10 cents additional for reserved seats, in the future the grand stand will be free and the reserved seats 25 cents. The manage ment has also made arrangements for an opening to be made across the race track at the Fifth avenue gate so as 10 allow people on horseback or in traps to enter the infeld and remain in their traps while witnessing the races, the diving horses and other attractions in front of the grand stand.
 The judges in the piano contest will be at the fair grounds tomorrow morning at II o'clock to judge the contestants. and all entered are requested to be present. Liberati's band, which was intended as one of the features of the fair associa- tion, will arrive in the city today and will be heard for the first time tomor- 
 cert toinorrow night in front Of the grand stand and will also appear every day until the fair closes.
 The Cotton Exhibit.
 One of the most interesting exhibitions at the fair is the cotton in the experi- ment station exhibit. They have eighty varieties of cotton, representing almost every variety of cotton grown in the south. Prizes have been awarded to Montgomery county of s1oO, Cleburne county of $50 and Shelby county of s25 for the best county exhibits.
 State Commissioner of Agriculture Poole was at the fair grounds yesterday and expressed himself as being well pleased with the exhibits. He said several of them fairly represented Alabama. The fair association is calling special attention to Birmingham day, which is Tuesday, when all the stores will give half holiday, releasing their clerks at Ii o'clock in order that they may visit the fair This will probably draw large crowds, and the management will make special arrangements to entertain the peo- pie.
