The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-10-24

L. were called on the course and some twenty small boys were lined up for dollar dash. v. They were made to take of their shoes and as soon as they backed of to the starting line, the shoes,swere all collected and piled in the middle of the roadway. The boys were then told that they had to run to the pile put on their shoes. lace them up. and ruu on to. the inish. The scramble was sight that threw the crowd into peals of laughter.
 Another incident In. which several small boys figured was in the woman's department. The cakes in the exhibit were being cut for distribution among the judges and directors of the Fair. and 1t so happened that bunch or little fellows saw the operation. Be- lieving that what. they most wished would come true. they got set. each thinking he was soon to get on the outside of a delicious slice. but alas. tho cake was gathered up In bundles and taken away. As the fragrant package passed. one little fellow re- marked: "Aw. come on. boys. we don't want 1t. 1t might make uS sick so we couldn't have no fun" q The individual exhibit Of J. B. Stevens of Montgomery county. that took first prize and thirteen other rib- bons. was the talk of the visitors all day Mir. Stevens had an assortment of farm produce that looked like the best from whole county. There was hardly a thing that is raised ton a farm In this, part of the world he did not have on exhibition. and the big booth was one of the principal fea- lures of the agricultural hall.
 The model dairy has come up to all expectations, and has proved a source of intending interest to the farmers and cattle raisers. The illustrations and explanations of the best way to attend to thls business are given daily and are well attended.
 Although the judging of the dog show was finished Wednesday. most ot the dogs were allowed to remain and this department has also been very much patronized. although It Is rather far from the center of the fair grounds.
 Already the management Is talking of plans for next year. and it is now foregone conclusion that there will be two or possibly three, football games next year. Experience with state fairs 1 has shown what drawing card these games are. whether they are held in | the grounds or outside. their presence attracting many people who would not come otherwise. By all the fair has been pronounced | an agreeable surprise and eoday Is l ca agerly looked forward to. Saturday does not close the entire program for the impression made by Riccfs band has been such they have been per- Suaded to remain over for a Sunday concert. The band has been on the job the whole time, tirelessIy furnishing music for every event, and deserves no end of praise, not only for the ac~ | eomodation. but the splendid quality of the music. Another thing, that has been called to the attention of the management is the lacking of seats around the be provided along the walks. This | will help to reduce the crowdIng in the booths and will be a very agreeable improvement. Although the motor car races can not be pronounced a success, the way has been paved for better things. and more attention will be paid to this feature next year. It is seen to be a | drawing card, and an effort will be made to draw cars from various sec- | tions of the State as we'll as adding 1 more local machines to the entry list.
