The Fair Next Week.

Everything is ready for the
fair next week. 1t begins Tues
day aud lasts through Friday.
Railroads have given one fare for
the round trip and a tremendous
crowd will be in attendance.
The directors wisely decided
at their recent meetings to add a
number of drawing attractions
to the fair. There will be real
live midway with bicycle riders,
snake shows. bands, ETC., and
other attractions to enliven a visit
to the grounds.
A unique and drawing card
has been provided in the $4,000
piano which will be given away.
1t is a magnificent instrument
and to each person who attends
the fair ticket will be given en-
fitting the holder to a chance in
this instrument. On the last af-
ternoon of the fair the piano will
be drawn for and the lucky
holder must be on the ground to
claim the instrument if his num-
Der draws it. This is a feature
which will add materially to the
attendance and it is one which
will prove quite popular.
The racing and music will be
fine. The Drego band of Mobile
has been engaged and will fur
nish music morning and evening.
The stables entered are from
every section of the South and
insure close contests in every
racing event.
The last feature of the fair is
the great game of foot ball be-
tween teams representing the
University Of Alabama and the
A. & M. College. Excursions
will be run from each city and
large crowds of partisans are ex-
pected to be here to root for their
teams. Colum Des has
never witnessed a foot ball game
and this first exhibition will be
by thousands.
The grounds will be opened
every morning and one admis
sion entities the holder to admis-
sion to the grounds for the day.
