VISITORS TO FAIR
ARE POURING IN.
Railroads Preparing for n Rush
Next Week.

Railroads Preparing for n Rush
Next Week.
Savannah's fair Is attracting the peo-
pie from the surrounding territory,
and the crowds have begun to pour
into the city, every incoming train yes
terday and last night having the APP
pearance of an excursion upon the ar
rival at its destination.
Agents of roads entering Savannah
say that the indications for a large
crowd are unusually good, and pre-
dict that by the first of next week the
city, already full of visitors, will be
overcrowded with sightseers. Special
transportation equipment has been pro-
vided for the crowds coming to the
fair from a distance, which were put
on with the special rate on Thursday.
The streets yesterday presented a
holiday attire with business houses and
shops closed on account of Savannah
Day, and the visitors within the city
gates coming in on late trains, moving
about leisurely in search of board ac-
commodations during their stay in the
city.
Another evidence of the fact that
the city is rapidly filing up, are the
hotel registers, which show large m
crease over the usual number OF guests.

WILD VESTS PRO-
GRAMME ON THE TRACK.
Special Performance for Orphan
Children To-day if Possible.

Special Performance for Orphan
Children To-day if Possible.
Another programme was put on by
the Kennedy Bros Wild West in front
of the grand stand yesterday The first
number was some fancy and trick
riding and some of the most daring
craftsmanship that has been seen here
in long time was put on. This was
followed, by special request by an
other reproduction of the horse-thief
hanging, which made such hit with
the crowd Thursday.
Next came a standing race. The
cowboys stood on the back of the
horses while they raced at break-neck
speed about the track. Shouts of we'll
merited applause greeted the perform
ers as they left the track. The Indian
race was the next number, and this,
too, was a novel attraction. A chariot
race followed.
An exhibition of riding bucking
horses was the succeeding number.
Contrary to the custom of most Wild
West shows, there was no bluff about
this feature. The cowboys retained
their mounts in spite of all the horses
could do, and the applause which fol-
lowed was well earned. A novel feat
ure was then introduced. This was the
riding of the bucking steer The ami
NAL was lassoed and then mounted
by one of the performers. The sight
was a curious one and the efforts of
the steer to unseat the rider were
amusing in the extreme.
The attractions of the Indian Village
were also up to the standard. Some
very fine pistol and rifle shooting was
given and the Indian pow-wow %Is
instructive and entertaining. The re-
productions of roping, throwing and
''hog-tying" cattle was unusually in
teresting and very instructive. This
was carried out exactly as it is done
to-day on the big ranches of Texas
and other Western states.
If the orphan children of all the
homes arrive at the grounds in time
this morning a special performance will
be given by the free attraction for
their benefit in front of the grand
stand. In case the children do not
arrive until after the races start Mr..
Kennedy has promised to make the
best arrangement that circumstances
will allow for giving them a free ex-
hibition.

Paul Gilmore and Wife Looked Aft
err by EIl<s Committee.
After he had rehearsed the local am
ateurs who are going to produce the
Tyranny of Tears" Mr.. Paul Gilmore,
who appeared in the production at the
theater last season, was taken in charge
yesterday by the Entertainment Com
mittee of the ElKs.
The rehearsal was held at the thea
ter in the morning, and Mr.. Gilmore
was surprised at the talent displayed.
He made several valuable suggestions,
and when the play is put on for the
benefit of the Elks' Home fund it is
certain to be pleasing. Those who saw
Mr.. Gilmore in the piece last season
appreciate it's worth, and the local tall
emit has been helped a great deal by
Mr.. Gilmore's suggestions at the re-
hearsal yesterday.
At 2:30 O'Clock the Entertainment
Committee of the Elks met Mr. and
Mrs. Gilmore at the De Soto and took
them to the Fair Grounds. From a
special box the party saw the races
and later inspected the grounds, games
and buildings. A spin was taken to
Thunderbolt, and a delightful lunch
con was served at the Bannon Lodge
The party returned to the city early, and
when Mr.. Gilmore stepped upon the
stage last night, when the Mummy
and the Humming Bird" was produced,
he was greeted by applause from many
appreciative Elks.

EDITION FOR SOUTH
WILL BE ISSUED.
Harper's Weekly Will Carry Out
Original Plan.

AS was originally intended Harper's
Weekly will get out a special South
ern edition of 1870 pages, and in this
number Savannah will be treated
kindly. u u
Mayor Herman Myers will have an
article on the progress of Savannah
during the past twenty years. and Mr..
Thomas Gamble, Jr., will have con-
tAlbution covering the naval stores
trade in the South. Mr.. John II.
Gould, representing Harper's Weekly,
is in the city and has seen the Mayor
and Mr. Gamble.
This Southern edition, containing
many special articles on the South
and it's developments, will be gotten
out without cost to the cities. Mr..
Gould says that the Greater Georgia
edition recently issued was an idea
that was born in Atlanta while work
was being done on the proposed South
ern edition. The sums of money sub
scribed, Mr.. Gould says, were not
turned over to the publishers, nor were
they expected or asked for. Arrange
ments have been made to issue $780,
900 copies of the special publication
upon which work has been going on
for nearly a year.

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS CALCULATE
SIZE OF SUN SPOTS
The Smallest of the Group Is Larger Than the
Earth

The pupils of the High School have
become unusually interested in the
spots on the face of the sun which
have caused magnetic and electrical
disturbances in several parts of this
country and Europe and under the
guidance of Supt. Ashmore, have in
the last few days made a special study
of this peculiar Astronomical freak.
After having watched the sun spots
for days past through a telescope at
the academy focused upon the sun,
the pupils made some calculations
yesterday as to the magnitude of the
larger spots, finding the diameter Of
the largest spot, including what is
known as the pernumbra, which sur
rounds the numbra proper to be Ga
$50 miles, and the numbra proper to
be only about 10000 miles in diameter.
The spots in the sun are in two sep
arate and distinct groups and can be
seen for the next few weeks with either
a telescope or with opera glasses. They
are, however, hardly visible to the
naked eye. In the first group of spots,
Which is near the western HIND Oh the
sun, are three spots, two large and
one small. In the second group, which
has only recently appeared, are to be
seen several smaller spots appearing
so small through the telescope that it
is hardly possible to count them. The
larger spot in the western group was
first noted about a month ago and
since that time I3ress reports from
several portions of the country nearer
the poles have told Of the disturbances
that were caused, Geographic COM
munication and electrical transporta-
ton having been temporarily stopped
The smallest spot in the sun, which,
through the telescope, does not appear
to be larger than a pin point, is de-
clared to be much larger than the
earth.
The sun spots are slowly passing
from off the surface of the sun from
east to west, but other spots will APP

EDITION OF PAPER
PUBLISHED IN 1900.

One of the most interesting exhibits
Of the entire fair is that of the Ulster
County Gazette, an edition published
on Saturday, Jan. 4, 1900. The paper
contains an account of the burial of
Gen. George Washington ION Wednes-
day last" and also a record of the
resolutions passed by the Senate and
House and the addresses of both
speakers. Heavy dark lines, the token
of mourning. are everywhere through
the paper and border all columns. The
advertisements are uniquely worded
and the long letter "s' is the only one
used except in the capital. In one
corner of the paper is list of let
tiers waiting for chalmers at the Post
office. This exhibit was the center of
attraction in the booth in which it
was placed and many visitors spent
considerable time studying this unique
specimen of the early days of journal
ism.

HANDSOME PAINTING
OF GEN. ROBERT LEE.

Among the paintings of especial in
terest in the art building is that OF
Gen. Robert E. Lee in his uniform
as commander-in-chief of the Con-
federate armies. The painting is re-
markably life-like and the expression
that has been put into the face is
very good In one corner Of the frame
is a print from a magazine and it was
this which served the artist for a
model. Accompanying the print is
note calling attention to the changes
that have been made in the picture
in contrast to the cut and the rea-
sons for changing. A close study OF
both print and painting will justify
the artist in his change. One of the
most remarkable things about the
painting is that it is the work Of 10
year-old Alex McArnett of Slyvania-

SPECIAL CARS FOR

Manager Kidder, of the Savannah
Electric Company, announced last
night that special arrangements had
been made for carrying the children OF
the different orphan asylums in the
city to the Fair Grounds to-day.
special car will be run to the Bethesda
Home, and the children brought in in a
body.
Owing to the fact that no definite
hour for starting could be agreed upon
among the matrons of the other homes
tickets will be given these children and
the matrons can start with them to the
grounds at whatever hour they choose.
This recognition of Children's Day on
the part of the trolley company will be
highly appreciated by the matrons OF
the homes.

pear on the sun for the next two or
three years.
Further interesting calculations made
by the pupils show the distance be-
tween the two larger spots in the group
near the western limb of the moon to
be 10S,205 miles This group of spots
will pass from off the surface of the
sun in the next few days.
The spots which are merely depres-
sions on the surface of the sun, which
is like a cloudy formation, appear to
be black when looked at through the
telescope, but are in reality only black
! by contrast. AS black as they may
| appear it is interesting to know that
! they are many degrees brighter
than the incandescent light, and that
against them the most powerful of
arch-lights would appear dark.
Supt. Ashmore has explained to the
| pupils that the periodicity of sun spots
is one of the mysteries of astronomy
which no one has ever yet been able
to fully understand. as the spots APP

uuency and for the next two or three
years they will be seen in great num-
bers," said Supt. Ashmore. ut may
be noted" he continued, that we have
read of no magnetic or electrical dis
turbances near the equator, all the
trouble having been experienced in
sections of this country and Europe
nearer the poles"
A great deal of attention has been
attracted to the sun spots in every
section of the country, which is due
to the fact of the disturbances they
have caused. In Atlanta a few days
ago the negro population of the West
Side was in a condition of ill-sup-
pressed excitement, having come to be-
lieve that the sun would stop shining
and disappear from it's course forever
from that day. House-tops and the
streets were filed with the weeping
negroes whose foolish superstition made
them sincere in the belief that a dire
full calamity was approaching. The
sun spots are. however, merely an in
teresting study from an astronomical
viewpoint.
