Over in Gainesville the other day a

! Fighting the Flames, the most cost
| ly and spectacular amusement at
| traction ever seen in the south, has
been secured for the Tampa Fair.
This attraction was originally pro-
| duced at Coney Island, New York,
and proved the greatest drawing card
| ever seen at that famous resort. The
attraction will appear at no other
southern city than Tampa. and
was only secured by personal visit of
President Brown to the managers in

to see Fighting the Flames, nor the
horse racing, which will be the best
| ever seen IN Florida.
