 ON HE FAIR GROUNDS Display of Six Brilliant Fountains
 of Fire. Secretary Chaffee Says This Display of Fireworks at the Coming Fair VIII surpass Anything
 Ever Seen In the

Every one at times has dreams of rounds of gaiety in a blaze of glory.
 A full realization of this is one of the promises of the State Fair that will open in Montgomery, Monday, De- tober 1s.
 It Is said by those in charge. that the Fair Grounds at Vandiver Park during the week of the Fair will be the most brilliantly lighted spot in America-and of course people come to / Fairs largely to see bright lights.
 But the myriad of electric bulbs that will turn night into day on the Fair Grounds will be only part of the pyroteehnlcs. Those who are familiar with the arrangements that have been made for lights and display attrac- tions on the grounds, say that Secre- tary Cahffee is as nthusiastic over fireworks as any school boy. but leay- ing the comparative degree of enthu- siasm out of the question. 1t is cer- tainly true that the Secretary of the Alabama Agricultural Association has arranged to provide the grandest fire works display at Vandiver Park this fall that has ever been seen in the South. Those who have the freight to pay may be inclined to the opinion that Secretary Chaffee has overworked this feature of entertainment for the visi- tors to Montgomery. but that genial and discriminating official insists that aside from the educational features of the Fair. he knows what people are coming here to see and that he is go- ing to give it to them.
 Another great feature of the Fair will be the daily exhibition in the prize ring by John L. Sullivan and Jake KiIraIn.
 No man in America has had. within his generation. the hold on the ath- letic heart of the nation that John l.. Sullivan has. He was always a hard fighter and an honest fighter; he never threw down g contest for the gate re- ceipts or demanded a glove to shield his body from punishment, and that Is the character of athletics that the world admires and that America fur nishes to take the Olympic trophies.
 And 1t Is certain that thousands of people from all over the South will come to Montgomery to see honest old John Sullivan meet in friendly com bat Jake Kilrain. the greatest antag- onist that he has ever met in the prize ring. for the entertainment of the vis- itors to Vandiver Park. October 1924.
