The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1906-11-02

SO great has been the demand for ex.
hibit space at the Florida State Fair, TO
be held at Tampa, November IL TO %,
that the erection Of several new build
ings has been found to be necessary,
and practically every building now
standing on the grounds will have TO
be enlarged and extended. The capac-
ity for live stock and poultry will have
TO be more than doubled, and the same
Is the case In almost every department
Of exhibition. 1t IL now more than ever
evident that the Fair will be a much
grander success than that Of last year,
which eclipsed any fair ever held in the
South before. Each mail also makes IL
evident that the attendance Of home
seekers from other States Is going TO be
double that Of last year, and active
preparations are now under way for
accommodating the crowds.
One of the most brilliant and memo
rable special days Of the coming State
Fair will be Veterans Day." for
which November &c has been designa-
ted. On this occasion the Third Flor
ida Brigade, with Sons of Veterans and
Daughters Of the Confederacy, will
hold their annual reunion, which has for
several years proved 80 enjoyable and
successful. At the same time the
Grand Army Veterans of Florida will
meet, and the "Yanks" and "Old Con-
feds" will march through the streets of
the city, arm in arm, together, making
scene beautiful to look upon. In
short, the Confederate reunion will be
IN the nature Of blue and Grey"
reunion.
In addition TO the many magnificent
attractions secured by President Brown
for the Florida State fair-including
the famous White City hippodrome,
which will cost $40, 600 for two weeks
John L. Sullivan, the greatest pogilist
that ever lived, will be among the num-
Der. Sullivan, who was the idol of the
prize ring for thirty years, will appear
in q three-round sparring match; and
his sparring partner, Barry, will At
each performance agree 70 throw any
four men in the audience In fifteen min
utes. Sullivan will also give a lecture
on the art Of self-defense, and moving
pictures of the greatest fights in ring
history will be shown. Sullivan IL draw
INK thousands in Texas ut present, in
GLIDING many women and children.
There will be nothing In the least of
fensive about the performance, which
will prove fine drawing card.

nihcencs, will be a grand horse show,
at which the finest saddle and harness
