will be the greatest. At least 10000 peo-
pie are expected from every section of the
district, and they will go into it with that
'1ast chance spirit. which will make
the joy and fun of other days fade into
insignificance.
All the children will flood out to the
grounds Immediately after the adjourn
ment of school, as they will be admitted
of the association during the afternoon.
1t will be another children's day such
as last Friday.
For the children many new stunts have
been arranged. Mazeppa, the wonderful
trained horse, who understands and al
most speaks English, will tell the for
tunes of the young people who visit her.
While she has done this several times
during the fair, to the amazement of the
children she will be particularly obliging
today and tell the fortune of every young
ster who SO desires. Rube Shields has a
number of races and amusing stunts for
the boys, which will make the whole

terday said 1--WE will do our utmost to
make our flights tomorrow the most SEN
sational in the history of dlrigible fights.
If the wind is favorable we will attempt
to make an exceptionally high flight, and
will also try for distance. You may prom
Use the people the best flight we have
yet made"
These beautiful birds of the air have
been thrilling the crowds every day, and
unlike former dirigibles which have been
brought to Birmingham, they never fail
to fly. The flight at night, which will
occur shortly after o'clock, will be
particularly sensational as a powerful
searchlight will follow the ship through
the air.
The closing racing programme is made
I'D of the best horses in all the entries,
and a glorious fight for the final purse
money is sure to develop close racing at
fast time. The dive of the Arabian horses
into the tank of water will be repeated
afternoon and night, while every other
free attraction will be put on in its best
form.
Positively not an exhibit nor a single
tent on the grounds will be removed.
under danger of arrest until after II
o'clock. The closing night down the mid
way is always the jolliest, the funniest
and most frolicsome. Last year the
crowds had to be driven away to allow
the amusements to pack and get OFF in
time to reach Montgomery. A trip through
the Human Laundry is a place for pure
fun and lots of it will be made by every
one.
This Is positively the last chance to
see the trained fieas, the little animals
whose education is attributed to the most
wonderful display of human patience and
persistence on record. They have been
in Birmingham thrice and will not return
