.tRNOR TO ATTEND.
The programme committee has Sc
cured u great attraction for each day
of the fair. Tomorrow was to have
been "Odell Day" with Governor Ben
jamin Odell, jr., Of New York state as
the orator Of the day. Late this after
noon Manager Clarke received tele-
gram that Governor Odell had become
i'll and would be forced to cancel his
engagement. Mr. Clarke called up the
governors home in Newburg by phone
and Mrs. Odell confirmed the news,
but suggested that Lieutenant Cover
nor Woodruff might be secured in
stead. Mr.. Clarke at once opened ne
gotiatons with the latter statesman
and was in hope at a late hour last
evening that the substitution might
be arranged.
On Thursday Admiral Schley is going
to be the great star. He will be met
at the depot here by the Sixth Battery,
light artillery, and the Twentieth
separate company. and headed by the
Baker band will be escorted to the

pericnce as a captive among Bulgarian
brigands, kept the diplomacy of Amer
lea and Europe busy and who was the
center of the gaze of the civilized
world, will visit the fair on Friday and
tell her story.
Prof. Carl Myers and his captive bal
loon is one of the star features. The
balloon ascends about 500 feet every
