Will Be at the Great Allentown Fair
September 80 to 26, 1909.

With good day and track Cresceus,
2.O2A, holder of the worlds mile and
half mile trotting record, will give a
phenomenal performance at the great
Allentown fair on Thursday, September

likely to beat the half mile record, as

that all difficulties would be placed on an
amieable understanding within a short

"There is no fight between the powers
controlling the Southern league and any

RAILROAD WORLD.

The railroads entering the Birmingham
district are all decidedly well pleased with
the business they are getting this sum-
mer. In the freight line the tonnage
has been very great, though for few
weeks it was slightly off on account of
the strike by the miners. But even then
the business was large.
With the passenger men the season has
been exceptionally gratifying. The sum-
mer business of every line from the city
shows large increase over that of any
year in the past.
In speaking of this traffic yesterday
]. C. Lusk, division passenger agent for
the Southern, said:
THE Southern officials are very jubilant
over the business we have received from
the Birmingham district this season. The
road has never in the past done the same
volume of business and we are now look
ing on the record almost as a marvel. I
am told that other lines have also ex-
perienced a heavy summer business
Scion Jacobs, commercial agent for the
Central of Georgia line. spoke in the
same terms regarding the amount of
general business his road had handled.
"At the present time" he said, we are
simply doing almost all the freight busi-
ness possible for the road to take good
care of. In this line we have outstripped
past records and the outlook Is even more
promising than has been the volume to
date. In the passenger line we are hav-
ing a pleasing volume of business also
At the present time we have booked on
our waiting lists of passengers for our
steamships many passengers who wish
to visit either New York or Boston. Such
has been the case all summer long
Other representatives of the various
lines entering the district speak in the
same terms of the volume of business
done by them.
The Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company is advertising extern
sively a steamship excursion which will
be run from Baltimore to Savannah All
gust 10. The company is also advertising
an excursion to Philadelphia for August
20. The tickets are limited to September
5, but offers very low rates. The amount
for round trip from Savannah to Balti-
more is $40, while the ticket to Philadel-
rhia is $14.
The Baltimore trip will be made on The
steamer Texas, while the Philadelphia
trip will be made on the steamer d. II.
Miller. Birmingham citizens may take
advantage of these excursions by buying
a round-trip ticke- to Tybee island for
$18.75, thus making the Baltimore trip
for $2S.S5 and the Philadelphia trip for
$32. So.
