Courage, purpose, energy and a
personality. and a deposition to profit
by criticism. these are the three quail
ties that have lifted Georgia Harper
above the level of r0ediocrity and
placed her in the class with great ar
lists of mature experience and genius.
George Harper is a born genius. Not
necessary a stage genius. 1t almost
any line of work she might have fol-
lowed Miss Harper would have been
heard from. She has the, genius tenn
perament-impulsive paradoxlcai, ex-
IRENE. She is strongly magnetic lndl-
vidual. from whatever environment she
might have sprung to whatever Cd
stacle she would have conquered. she
has the indomitable will which gets
the better of circumstances. She has
a vitality which reinforces the energy
spent upon work that would kill an or
binary woman. She has a great fund
of independence, a spirit of fearless
ness that forces to the front her con-
victions, regarding human morals on
the stage. And most Of all, notW1tn-
standing a nature high-strung ana
keenly alive to censure. she has a
courage which quickly surmounts 1e-
feat and prepares for renewed efforts.
She will appear at the Keylor Grand
tomorrow night, Sunday, Oct. II.

all-American balloon entered in the
race. the other two pilots from the
Tinted States having had their bal
looms made in Europe
Mr.. Forbes does not expect that the
race will be won on land. He explains
how small a chance there rs for any
of the 90 balloons to reach the distance
covered from st. Louis last year ana
not land on water. He points to the
map of France and argues that II the
last years distance of 872 miles
should be equalled in the race from
Berlin. about the only basis of hope,
so far as lighting on land is concerned,
will be a northwest wind, carrying the
balloonists to Russia's frozen steppes.

Judges have been secured, to make
that part of the fair what it should
be. The stables are located in such
manner that the crowds will have no
trouble in making the rounds, large
alleyways having been left between
the various structures.
One Of the new features which Will
be found a decidedly usefu1 one, is the
team gate" which has been construc-
ted about a block below the main
entrance All teams entering the
grounds will be directed to the special
gate. and, in turn, will be re-directed
to the free hitching racks at the lower
end of the track On no condition will
vehicles be allowed to enter the main
gate. and only by paying regular ad-
mittance fee will drivers be permitted
to enter the center-field. A large roll
ing gate has been constructed just be-
low the grandstand to prevent teams
tiers driving across the track, and it
is the intention of officers of the asso-
citation to keep the crowd under better
control than in past years.
More Seats Constructed.
Believing that the attendance at the
Walla Walla fair would show as much
of an increase over last year as did
the fairs in other cities on the circuit,
the association caused to be erected
Just below the grandstand another
section with seating capacity. At the
upper end of the grandstand. where
formerly there was picket fence
along the track. has been constructed
a high board fence, between which
and the track are rows of bleachers
capable of seating agout 500 or 500
people. That seats will be at pre-
MUM is shown by the fact that the
greater number of the box seats in the
grandstand have been disposed of, and
applications are pouring in daily.
The racing program, which is said
to be by far the best ever put on in
this city, has not been completed so
that the events and the entries can be
published, but by tomorrow evening
every detail in connection with the
speed events will have been arranged,
with the exception of entries for Derby
day, and these will not close until
Monday evening. At least four running
races are to be given each day of the
meet, and in addition the Fourteenth
Cavalry boys are to give their noted
Roman race four days out of the six.
The Monkey drill, which occasioned
so much comment while the troops
were in camp at American Lake. will
also be given before the grandstand.
These two events alone will be well
worth the price of admission to the
grounds. Another interesting race will
be the farmers buggy race, for which
there have been many entries. 81

year to the restaurant concessions.
with the result that two exceptionally
large eating places and numerous
smaller ones have been given space,
both in the pavilion and in the grand
stand. Those who so desire may go
to the grounds in the morning and re-
main there all day, without having
the cravings of the inner man go un
satisfied. Every convenience for the la
dies will be found in the rest rooms

One of the saddest deaths oc-
curing in Mathews Comfy for
many years was that of Mrs.
Elizabeth Byrd, who died at the
home of her father, Mr.. John z.
Foster, near North, Va, on the
18th day of Jan. 1908.
Mrs. Byrd with her family had
come to Mathews from lIer- home
in Crisfeld. Md, upon a visit to
her parents, and soon after reach
ing her old home found her sister,
Mrs, w. E. Hudgins. lying des-
parately ill with typhoid fever.
Soon her mother was taken sick.
With tender affection and sclic-
tous care, she unselhshly and
cheerfully devoted herself to the
task of nurseing back to health
her beloved sister and her dear
mother. and while Mrs. Hudgins
and Mrs. Foster rallied from
their beds of sickness. the dread
typhoid fastened upon Mrs. Byrd.
and despite medical attention
and careful nursing, the claiming
hand of death was soon grasping
her.
In the sick room she was
always bright and hopeful. and
in her own bed of pain she was
uncomplaing and resigned. Her
care and soliCitude and unselhsh
devotion 10 her mother and Sis
ter were most beautiful. and the
character which she possessed
and the reputation for kindness
which she bore and her friends
appreciation Of her tue worth
were significantly testified to by
their attention during her sick
ness and by their attendance at
her funeral. She was buried on
the 18th. and the Rev. Richard
Ferguson preached an impressive
sermon at Holly Grove Church.
Her body was inferred at the
beautiful Trinity Cemetery.
She leaves a husband and three |
sons, two sisters. Mrs. w. E.
Hudgins and Mrs. c. D. Hud- |
gins, two brothers. Thomas
Edward and julius Foster of
Newport News, and her aged |
father and mother.
