November Is to 80 are the dates de-
cided upon for holding the Florida
State Mid-Winter Fair in Tampa,
| this decision having been reached
I after conference between President
Brown and other officers of the Tri-
State Fair Association, representing
all southeastern states from Virginia
to Florida. The organization of this
association and the unity of action
that will result will bring incalcul-
able good to the big fair movement,
as high-class attractions of various
kinds can be secured by combination
that could not be had where only one
fair was held as far south as Florida.
This is especially true in regard to
the horse racing feature, and the
best races ever seen in Florida are
guaranteed for the entire period.
None but licensed judges, starters
and jockeys will be allowed upon the
track. The dates secured are regard
ed as great victory for the fair as
ISOLATION, as they come just as late
as possible in the season not to miss
the extremely low rates from distant
, states that will not be on sale after
November 20.
One of the most important features
| of the fair will be the celebration of
Fraternal Order Day. Wednesday,
November %, at which all fraternal
orders in the state will be represent
ed and the largest and most repre-
sentative gathering of the kind will
be III evidence. Visiting lodge men
from other states will be entertained
on grand scale, which will make
muchly desired impression upon the
thousands who come to Florida seek
ing permanent homes.
The ladies of Tampa, following the
course they pursued in the South
Florida Fair movement, are taking
great interest in the fair and losing
no time in interesting the ladies
throughout the state. They have re-
Guested that special day De set
aside for them, to be known as
Woman's Club Day. Thursday, No
Vember %, has been named as the
date. A large number OF the leading
club women of the country, including
Mrs. Decker, OF Denver, president
of the National Federation of
Wonlen's Clubs, Will be in atten-
dance. The day viii be memorable
one and every lady in Florida should
attend at that time.
