7 RICO. FAIR
COMMITTEE To
START TUESDAY
WILL SOLICIT SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
CAPITAL STOCK OF THE AssO-
CATION -FIFTEEN MEMBERS
FROM EACH COMMERCIAL BODY
WILL FORM COMMITTEE.

The Joint committee OF the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Merchants
Association, for soliciting subscrip-
lions to the capital stock OF the Tri-
county Fair Association viii probably
start out next Tuesday.
The members of the committee,
Is from each of the commercial bod
les, viii be announced Monday, and
will be called together to organize
the committe and divide the work as
soon as possible after appointment.
Meantime the arrangements for the
work have been pretty well mapped
out by President Meyer Of the Mer-
chants association, and Secretary Wa
teFman OF the Chamber OF Commerce,
who will submit to the joint commit
tee a program which divides the bus
mess section of the city into eleven
districts and contemplates having
teams of two for each district visit
every firm, corporation, and individ-
ual doing business under his own
name The committee teams will be
supplied with notes. specifying the
number of shares subscribed for, and
the dates OF payment, which are 50
per cent on September l, and % per
cent on each October l and NoVem-
Der l. The shares are S25 each.
1t is hoped that a rush campaign or
one week by the members of the So
nciting committee will put the COM
mittee in position to report with reas-
enable certainty as to the financial
outlook
There was a good deal Of discuss
ion at the board meeting as to the
form in which subscriptions should
be taken, and whether subscriptions
should be donations or for value re-
ceiYed, and Il SO, what the consid-
Grafton should be,
Mr.. Storrs expressed confidence in
the fair association stock becoming in
time a negotiable security, and Mr..
Reeve Of Cottage Hill stated that in
his former home town the local fair
stock. at one time selling for SO and
$3.50 per hundred, is now a good, reg
ular dividend payer.
It was therefore decided to inCor-
poTate the association at $4,000 cap
italiZation and to put out $1,000 Of
stock this year. The money thus rails
ed will take care Of the first fair.
Surplus receipts Will go to the treas
ury, and with the $4,000 Of treasury
STOCK, will constitute the nucleus OF
whatever funds may be necessary to
be raised for the second fair.
Mr.. Waterman, who is very enthus-
iastiC over the fair, viii be on the So
Letting committee at his request. and
has sounded business men some IN
the past two days. He expressed last
night entire confidence that the ne
Cesasry funds could be raised quickly
and with small trouble, If the COM
mitteemen go at II in the way they
should. and the way they undoubtedly
will, basing his faith on the fact that
while everyone had inquired with
great interest as to details of the plan
OF action, none had adversely critI-
cised 1t.

AN INTERESTING
EXPERIENCE Of
70 YEARS AGO
CAPT. KAALsTAo, OF THE NOR
WEGIAN BARK AN ARES, TELLS
OF HIS ARREST BY POLICE
WHEN HE PAID VISIT TO THIS
PORT.

Captain H Kaalstad, Of the Norwe-
CLAN bark AntaTeS, which vessel ar
rived here yesterday afternoon, tells
some very interesting experiences of
a former trip to Pensacola twenty
years ago.
AT that time the captain was a mate
on foreign vessel which came into
this port. While the ship was here
some of the crew were out in the city
one night, and Mate Kaalstad was
among them. Some of the crew be-
came intoxicated and a policeman ar
rested one of them. KaaIstad walked
up and asked the policeman in very
kind manner to let him take the fell
low aboard the ship, when the officer
blew his whistle and" says the cap
tain, the whole gang was on us"
Kaal tad pleaded with. the officer, but
without avail, and he, along with the
others, was carried in The captain
SAYS they attempted TO handle him
pretty roughly, when he StubbOrnIy
resented such treatment, explaining
that he was absolutely sober, perfect
ly quiet and attending only to his own
affairs; that he simply asked the Off
Ger IL he (Kaalstad) could not take
the drunken man aboard the vessel.
The next day in the mayors court
I1uuSOuI uayOF-LneY were all tried
for being drunk and disOrderly ex-
cept Kaalstad, who was charged with
interfering with the police and fined
81 He thanked the mayor very DO
litely and walked out.
Some years afterward ne again
came to Pensacola and met with Mr..
Hudson.
Hudson said: Seems that ought
to know you"
Kaalstad replied that he ought to:
that he fined him seven dollars some
years before for being in the city.
But the eX-mayor replied: What
could l do? There was a bunch of
policemen with their hands I'D swear
ing you were guilty"
The story carries with it some food
for thought. And also il shows how
different some things were in Pensa-
cola twenty years ago.

light colored negro emerged from the
bushes. Running behind the wagon he
fired two shots at Solomon
One bullet struck Solomon under the
right shoulder, but, its force being
checked by the thick clothing, it made
oply a flesh wound. The other bullet went
