At A O'Clock Tuesday after
noon while the crowds in the
field and grand stand at the Fair
Grounds were watching the
start of one of the heats of the
2:20 race, the flaps of the big
box-like tent at the upper end of
the grounds containing the
Stroebel air ship, were suddenly
thrown back and a big, bladder
looking thing, about the color of
catgut or champagne, whichever
you choose to call it, and shaped
like a cigar, showed its nose out.

forty-fve degrees.
TIE wind was blowing notice

he felt the greater force of it tand

OPENING OF THE BIG FAIR

The opening of the tenth an
nual session of the Mississippi
and West Alol-.4lla Fair Associa-
ton Tuesday was great sue
cess. The gate receipts were
twice those of any first day in
five years. At least two thous-
and people were on the grounds
by the time the races started.
Today about twice that attend
ance is expected.
AS an opening for the Fair Tues
day, the hundreds of voices in
the Singing Convention, which
began at 10 a. m. and lasted un-
til noon, were raised in swelling
and inspiring anthems. For the
singers the south end of the
grand stand was reserved, and
this space was we'll filled. I'm
der the direction of Mr.. j. t.
Swanzy, more than a dozen re-
ligious selections were rendered.
The effect of the singing in per-
feet harmony of so many voices,
ont in the open air, was deeply
impressive. The singers came
from all parts of the county.
There were about as many men
as women. Mr.. Redus played
an organ accompaniment.
At the end of the Singing Con-
vention and until the racing be-
gan a little later than the
scheduled time, 1:30 the crowd

What was more spectacular
decidedly than the day time
flight even, was the flight last
night by moon light. At 9
o'clock the dirigible went up to-
ward the stars and played about
until it was tired.
If the wind is favorable today
Parker will make at least two
flights, one possibly over the
center of town.

of the Mississippi. The survey
provided for at the meeting to-day
is to ascertain the feasibility of
throwing a dam across the mouth
of the Red river and to dredge a
new channel for it to the Atchafa-
laya. The towns on the Red river
are to retain their traffic connec-

An important message from the
President stating he had signed the
rivers and harbors bill, but would
never again sign a similar one, en-
livened the proceedings in the
Senate. The President said the
rivers and harbors improvement
should be made in accordance with
an approved system, such as was
not followed in the bill, but that
he signed the bill in order that i'm
portant improvements would not
be delayed.
More than billion dollars was
appropriated at the present session
of Congress, if continuing appro-
priations are incorporated in the
totals of the general appropriation
measures.
Definite figures concerning the
appropriations will be issued from
the House and Senate committees
within few days. Insofar as the
figures could be obtained from
measures which underwent chang
es in the last hours of the session,
the totals of the appropriations ex-
elusive of continuing appropria-
tions was 1894, 0S6,943. The
amount of the continuing appro-
priations for the fiscal year was
about S16O,OOO,OOO. 1t is safe to
say that it will not be less for the
next fiscal year, and the grand
total therefore will aggregate at
least Sl,O54, 100000.
Probably the most important to
this section of the country Of all
the bills passed was the rivers and
harbors bill. After announcing
that he had approved the bill, the
President said:
"While l have signed the bill, ]
venture to submit a memorandum
of explanation and comment"
The text of the message then
follows:
"The bill is an important one
and contains many excellent fea-
lures. 1t provides for the canali-
cation of the Ohio river, to be
prosecuted at rate which will in.

may be said that great majorit
