CHILDREN TAKE GROUNDS BY STORM Age-Herald Carriers Take u
 Whole Fair 35,000 PRESENT YESTERDAY Children Were Present From All Over the District and Crowd Was Such
 as Is Seldom Seen In
 Birmingham.
35,O00 PRESENT YESTERDAY

Along with all the other youngsters of the Birmingham district, The Age-Herald carriers took in the State Fair yesterday. The urchins, 100 strong. occupying a car to themselves, reported at an early hour and followed their own inclination until the closing of the doors last night.
 Every show Down the Line" was vis- tied, and in them, every freak was seen. The youngsters enjoyed the fine racing programme and each had his choice of the entries. The free attractions eliclted warm applause, and at night. everything having been witnessed, an hour was ex- pended walking over the grounds, jostling with the crown, and exchanging views among themselves.
 It was Children's Day.
 And what vast horde of the true representatives of young America which overfiowed that 100 acres of territory
 They instantly took control, by reason of strength in number, and on account of lack of resistance. Everybody gave way before the rush. and the entire day was theirs without dispute.
 There was no school yesterday. It was a holiday, and a glorious one. Every young heart beat at a rate of 100 a min ute and no young foot managed to keep still. No voice was silent, and no brain shadowed by @ cloud. It was a glorious day with full sun. and all humanity was glad.
 AI.. a will initiate Schreyer in his bicycle ride and high dive. The Valentines will be a back number by the time of another fall, for, if youthful plans materialize in other ways than broken skulls and bruised bodies, Birmingham will have 100 flying acrobats of its own.
 The influx of young America caused tho largest attendance of any single day of the present Fair. The vast throng of young people yesterday is variously es- timated between 25000 and 35.000, the more conservative reaching the middle figure between the two. The ground was well filled, it was necessary to introduce the tactics of the gridiron warrior-a little diplomacy and much more rough ness.
 And when the gates were closed last night, after a programme which was full and exceedingly interesting, there were more happy hearts in Birmingham than in many months. Every child who saw the sights went to sleep with dreams that Christmas usually brings, and probably dreamed of riding through the air on velocipedes, or walking a taut rope on three legs.
 There was more noise, too. yesterday at the Fair grounds than any previous day. The children chattered from the time of entering to the time of leaving. Noth ing was so ordinary but that they mar yelled and nothing too perfect for their criticism. The children took undisputed posseSsion.

Peggy will also be on the track in the flea circus, and will make a close inspection of the agricultural department, to which place she has been invited to spent a few hours. It is probably needless to say that the superior quality of the Alabama corn, wheat and other gains well tempt Peggy to make her home in this state

Barnes place in Peggy's coop handsome cut glass drinking water fountain, pre- sented to Peggy by II. c. Abbott & Bro, jewellers. Immediately after the presenta- tion to Peggy John A.
