With flags flying from every build ing on the grounds vandiver Park yesterday presented scene of gayety that seemed to presage the success next week of the greatest Fair ever held in Alabama.
 The decorations in the main exhibi- ton building are very handsome while the class of exhibits so far are on a much more impressive and ambitious scale than those of last year. Many of the local exhibits are already in place and in the next day or so the foreign exhibits will arrive.
 The Cullman county exhibit which took first prize last year. Is looked for any day, and the display, it is said, will be on a larger scale in every way than last years The Baldwin county exhibit should reach the grounds to- day, as 1t was shipped from Mobile Thursday night. Colonel Selden, who had charge of the Cullman county ex- hibit last year. has charge of the Bald win exhibit, and 1t IS said that 1t Is going to be a revelation to the farm ing and commercial interests in Ala bama. The asr.eul.arsi display as whole will be far above the average of the ordinary agricultural exhibits at State Fairs, and the throngs of people will find the exhibition building highly interesting place.
 After this week, work can be done in the different buildings at night as General Manager Chambers of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company said yesterday that he would have the lights turned on by Monday night. All the wires are already in place, the only new wiring that will have to be done being in the new ma chinery hall.
 Secretary Tait is giving his personal supervision and experience to every de- tall. By Monday night large DOT ton of the exhibits will be in place.
 The wires were strung and the four offices made yesterday for the inau- guration Of the block system by which the Western Railroad Is going to oper- ate It's shuttle trains during the Fair. The shuttle train service last year proved to be such a success that this year 1t will be doubled, trains running each away every thirty minutes, the block system tnsuring them against ae- cident.
 Train from Tuscaloosa.
 President Vandiver of he Fair As- sociation yesterday morning took up the matter of speciai train between Tuscaloosa and Montgomery with Gem eral Manager Taylor of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Mir. Taylor at once con- scented to the request of President Vandiyer, not only telegraphtng him that the train would be put on. but notifying every one of the agents of the road in this section and instruct ing them to advertise the fact and to work up the beat business for the train possible.
 The train will leave Tuscaloosa ear iy in the morning and arrive in Mont gomery about 10 o'clock, leaving Mont gomery about o'clock at night There is no doubt that this train will do an unusually heavy business, as people from Tuscaloosa, Maplesville. Prattville and all along the road can come to Montgomery in the morning, spend the day at the Fair and get back to their homes by bed time that night.
 The train will run every day during the Fair, from the first day to the close. President Vandiver. in speak ing of the matter, said that as long as he has bean connected with the aFir he has never had a request re- fused by the Mobile and Ohio.
