DIRECTORS MEET TONIGHT

As the last spectator at the horse show last ngiht wended his way from the far grounds Memolis band played Home, Sweet Home" and the first fair under the present management passed into his tory.
 It seems to be the general opinion of all who have visited the grounds that the fair was a success-a much gfeater suc- cess than people thought possible when work was commenced several months ago on the grounds at Fairvfew.
 The work of erecting buildings, re- building the track, arranging for the horse show and exhibits, and hundred and one other things, was completed sooner than was thought possible. The fair was run without a hitch or an un- pleasant incident of any kind Everyone who exhibited this year has promised to bring exhibit next year, and also to interest others in showing their goods in Birmingham.
 While all the bills have not been pre- sented yet, and the total assets of the fair are still unknown, it Is thought by the officers of the fair association that the fair was a financial success.
 In speaking of this feature of the fair last night, President Fies' said:
 Directors to Meet.
 "I hope that everyone with bill against the fair association will pre- sent it in the morning. We will have a meeting of the directors tomorrow night. and at that time we will probably have a.. L.. plete. We will at least be ready to state whether the fair lost money, more than paid it's expenses, or just about broke even.''
 At the meeting tonight the reports will show the exact number of people who have visited the fair grounds, the daily attendance and a number of other mat ters of information.
 The crowd at the fair grounds yester- day was rather small, the smallest of the entire fair. It was largest during the horse races in the afternoon when there was a goodly number in the grandstand and between the stand and the track.
 At the horse show last night there were several hundred people in the stand and on the grounds. The classes were judged rapidly and the show was over by 10 o clock Following are the results last night:
