SECOND DAY AT THE FAIR.
Good Weather and Better Attendance =
Patrons Well Pleased With Ex'
hibiis and Attractions.

The second day of the fair was
ushered in with clear weather,
which was most acceptable and re-
suited in a large attendance. The
patrons Of the fair are well pleased
with the exhibits and the amuse'
ment features, all Of which have
proved to be clean, hrst-class and
full of interest for the general pub
lie. Nothing better will be seer
at the big state fairs this year.
At the session Of the farmers
congress in the morning Mr.. j,
w. Melton Of Troupe spoke on
the possibilities Of liberalization,
Mr.. F. X. McGinnis could not be
present on account Of illness.
Much better attendance was
notable yesterday afternoon in
spite Of more rain, and the amuse
ment program was carried out as
on the first day except the balloon
ascension. The wind caused Prof
Morris balloon to strike the grand
stand and he fell upon a picket
fence below, breaking two ribs and
bruising his head considerably.
DR.. Raysor, who attended him,
said last night that he did not re-
gard his injuries as serious or per-
manent. The accident caused
great excitement, the spectators
thinking the aeronaut had been
killed.
Following is the program for
today:

The agricultural exhibit at the
fair is prophetic of the future
of Brazos county and ought
to open the eyes of the PEG.

it while yet in the air. His assis-

His assistant held a potato in
