ALL EXHIBITS ARE N0W IN POSITION Crowds Visit Fair Despite the
 Weather GROUNDS ARE SETTER Horse Show Last Night Postponed. Double Programme Scheduled for
 Tonight-List of Some
 of the Exhibits.

The rains of yesterday morning nat urally had bad effect on the size of the a result of the bad weather the crowd yesterday did not number more than $500 people.
 Many, however, were able to get bet ter view of the fair than they had be- fore, as on Monday the exhibits were not ready, and Tuesday the crowd was so large that 1t was impossible to see and study the exhibits.
 Practically every exhibit is in place in the grounds, and number of improve ments have been made in those which were previously installed The grounds have also increased greatly. The roads have been constructed, the holes caused by the rain have been filled with rock and sawdust, and wherever the walks were very muddy sawdust was used abun- danty yesterday. In that way the people were not as much inconvenienced as they might have been.
 Horse Show Postponed.
 On account of the rain the horse show events scheduled for last night were postponed until tonight, when a double programme will be rendered. The show will commence promptly at 7;3O o'clock and one feature of it will be the musical drill by the party of Mir Woodbridge from Columbia, Tenn. The young women and young men of this party are among the most prominent people socially in that af A nf of the party are horsemen, and some of them are owners of noted saddle horses. All ride constantly, and have been literally raised in the saddle.
 Much of the success of the horse show has been the result of the interest shown by the people in and around Columbia, Tenn, as they have brought a number of the best horses to Birmingham When the Woodbridge party rides tonight it is probable that several Birmingham couples will also take part In the musical parade.
