WaIthOur Races and CaVa|g
 Drill on Programme GREAT CROWD IS EXPECTED
Rain Yesterday Kept Away the Peo- pie, But the Attendance Today and Tonight Will Probably Sur
 pass Thursdays Record.

The rain yesterday played havoc with the crowds and entertainments at the state fair now in progress.
 From 5000 on the opening day the crowd dwindled down to less than 800 yesterday and all of the amusements were called off There were no races. the cavalry did not exhibit and there was really noth- ing at the fair to draw the people.
 Should the weather clear up today It is probable that the crowd will rival that of Thursday. With Walthour and the cavalry on the programme, the trotting races and the band concert, as well as the fire works the management feels justified in expecting a big crowd.
 Besides the regular racing programme to be given this afternoon there will be two running races. They will be sand wiched in between the heats of the trot- ting races. and should be an incentive to many people to attend
 The rain yesterday has settled the dust on the grounds and the track and should 1t not rain today things will be ideal for excellent sport. The dust has been a se- rious drawback, and this will be laid low for several days to come.
 Today's Programme.
 The programme for today is as follows:
 10:9O o'clock-Cavalry drill and music by Seventh regiment band.
 II 80 o'cloclx-Maximus wrestles with the bull.
 From 12 to 2 o'clock-Awards by judges
 2 o'cloclS-Races commence.
 3:30 oclock-Walthour rides against twenty horses.
 o'clock--Running races.
 8 o'clock-Drill by cavalry and music by the band.
 9 oclock-Fireworks
 The cavalry drill this morning will be well worth seeing. It is one of those att fractions which grows better after each look and many will return often to see it. It should draw good crowds at night, as 1t makes a good exhibition with the fireworks.
 Walthour proved the biggest drawing card Thursday and the management thinks that he will draw even more peo- pie today. Every one who saw him on the opening day was delighted and wants to see him again, and all those who did not see him are more eager now that they have heard what an excellent exhibition he made.
 Prize List.
 Awards have been made in many of the departments of the fair. and the prize lists will be issued in the next day or two. Some of the judges are still at work and will make their decisions today
 Flower Show Tuesday.
 Superintendent Comant of the floral department of the state fair desires that all florists and growers and lovers of flowers bear in mind that the cut flower show will take place on Tuesday next, October 20.
 All potted plants should be in place Monday. and all cut flowers sent out not later than 10 o'clock Tuesday morning MT. Colmant Is assured that the flower show will be eminently successful.
 The great midway carnival provided by the famous Robinson Amusement com pany, one of the greatest combinations of midway attractions and one of the clean est in America, will be in full swing on Monday and throughout all the coming week

DESCRIBES MEANS OF GETTING MONEY J. Woods Castleman Did Not Cancel CommlsSary Checks HE MAY GET OFF VERY EASY The Young Man Is Charged With Elm bezzIIng $75oo From the sIoss-
 Sheffield Steel and Iron
 Company.
HE MAY GET OFF VERY EASY

J. Woods Castleman, the young man who was arrested Thursday night on a charge of embezzlement Of s75oo from the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. is still in the city jail, but the prospects are very strong of his being able to settle his trouble and get out.
 It is stated that J. w. Mcqueen, vice president of the company, is friendly to the boy, and that this, coupled with the former position of his father as general manager, may enable him to get off as lightly as possible.
 Castleman's Method. It was learned yesterday in what man. ner Castleman managed to get so much money. He has stated that several times a month the cashier of the company and several of the clerks in the office would gather around table and count the com missary checks They would then give him the checks to cancel by tearing off the edge. He would get a number of checks at time and would tear of the corner of most of them, but would not tear others. He would throw all into the waste basket and then afterwards go and pick out these which he had not torn.
 These uncanceled checks he would take to his room and afterwards give them to a confederate he had in the city. This con- federate would carry the checks to the various employees of the Sloss- Sheffield company and others who bought at the commissaries, and sell them at reduced prices The confederate would then divide up the profits In this manner the Sloss- Sheffield company redeemed many of it's checks twice.
 Young Mans Father.
 J. w. Castleman, Sr., the father of the young man under arrest, is very i'll at his home in West End. Young Castleman's mother Is also living, and two sisters. who live at home. MT. Casrieman, ST., was one of the pioneers of the Birming- ham district. He was at one time the practical head of the Sloss-sheffield com pany, and 1t was through his influence that young Castleman secured the posi- tion.
 It is stated that the officials of the com pany have not yet finished checking up the loss caused by Castleman's opera tions, but that 1t has already run to at least $75oO and may go higher Castleman has denied that he spent such large amounts of money as he is credited with doing, but companions of his during these fast days have stated that they fre- quently have known him to spend $50 night about town.
