 Plenty of Thrills Yesterday
 There was plenty to thrill the enormous crowd that gathered at the fair yester- day. The horse races were all close and made in fine time. Robert Stubbs' defeat of Arthur Mitchell In the five-nile motor cycle race set the throng wild. Parmelee made two wonderful flights. In the first, after remaining up several minutes, he landed to prepare for the race with the automobile. Upon attempt ing to rise again he did not get into the air quickly e1ough, and ecame very near smashing the machine against Odom's s aeroplane shed, but with presence of mind brought 1t to ground in time to escape, although the ascension planes struck the building and were broken. These were repaired hurriedly, and the flight made during the football game was one of the best of them all.
 AeropIane the Big Attraction Parmelee and his Wright aeroplane nave been Ln6 DlR SIOW Oi ehC ldii. HCJ probably brought more people to Bir- mingham than any other attraction. Only one day did he fail to fly, and on 13 different occasions he thrilled the eager spectators.
 The free attractions were the highest priced and the most thoroughly enjoyable ever. presented at any fair In the south. They were brought to Birmingham from the north. showing nowhere else in the south
 The association officers are congratu- lating themselves upon the fact that there were no damaging accidents during the fair. The police department kept per feet order, and every emergency was met quickly and successfully. tay
 The car service of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company was never better. The 10000 crowd of Friday was handled in short order, while the schedule of cars to the grounds was both constant and rapid.
 Other fairs have left bad taste in the mouths of the merchants, but this one makes them all glad. Their business has been enormous. It has indicated that the people of Alabama are making Bir- mingham their trade center as never be- fore. It has been a happy opening of the prosperous winter, which everyone predicts is ahead for Birmingham.

 It Is true that that this advertise mont Is at variance with the persistent statement of ready made clothing man. ufacturers that their product is sedual to custom made"

MAYOR INDIGNANT
 AT RECKLESSNESS
VAN ENDANGERs MANY LIVES. INsTRUCTs POLICE TO PUT HIM UNDER ARREST

While returning from the fair grounds yesterday afternoon the auto mobile containing Gen. Luke E. Wright, former Secretary of War, and Culpeppor Exum, mayor of Birmins ham, and a number of their friends, narrowly escaped being smashed by an automobile truck of the Alabama Gro cery company, driven by negro.
 The negro was noticed by Mayor Exum and the party as running eX- ceedingly fast behind the automobiles in line. He cut through a small grove after leaving the grounds and when he reached Owenton station the negro swerved across field, hitting the main road at another point. As he came into the pike at 25 miles per hour. the truck barely missed the car containing the mayor and General Wright. The negro continued his reckless driving until in front of Judge Greene's residence, when Mayor Exum made him stop. AS this occurred the negro driver barely missed running into a buggy filled with ladies which had stopped in the gathering twilight.
 Mayor Exum, upon reaching the city, instructed the police to arrest the ne- gro. He said the acts of the driver were utterly inexcusable and that he intended to appear against him per sonally In police court.
 If I do nothing else while mayor intend to break up this speeding" said the exasperated chief executive. q have seldom witnessed such acts upon the part of any person. It is not that negro's fault that some one was not killed by his driving such heavy van in that fashion. I am not at all narrow about automobiles but every owner should see to 1t that driver with some judgment Is on his car. The recklessness displayed by that one driver will do more to discredit the autoists that any one incident possible to occ,,r

 Greatest Ever Held in State
 With one voice all Alabama joins Bir- mingham in declaring the Alabama State Fair, which is now matter of history the greatest ever held within the confines of the state.a Every man, woman and child was pleased and delighted.
 And in that fact President J. H. Hol- combe and the officers of the association find their chief pleasure. The association spared no expense, in making this fair attractive, and they have been doubly repaid, both in words of commendation and by the biggest gate receipts ever col lected There were really but six good days of the fair. The first four of these averaged 15,000 people. Friday saw 4O,00C packed in the grounds, and yesterday about 12,0oO saw the football game and the many other attractions.
 It is a great triumph for the business men of Birmingham. For eight years they have worked to make the fair a success, and this is the first time they have been able to come out without add ing additional debt. This success is at. tributed to the determined efforts oi President J. H. Holcombe and Secretary Frank P. Chaffee. Among those most active have been Treasurer Bertram Jacobs and Chairman John l.. Parker o1 the executive committee.
 Following are the people who made the Alabama State Fair:

WRIGHT PLEASED
 WITH STATE FAIR
TENNEsSEAN WITH OTHER WELL KNOWN CITIZENS SPENDS AFTERNOON AT THE BIG SHOW AND RACES

One of the most interested persons at the fair yesterday was Gen. Luke E. Wright, former Secretary of War, who, with Culpepper Exum, Caruthers Ewing, D. E. Monasco and a party of friends, spent the afternoon seeing Ala bamas big show. General Wright and party occupied box during the free acts, races. football games and the air. ship flights by MT. Parmelee. He was deeply interested in every act, every exhibit and every incident of the entire afternoon, and upon reaching his hotel he was very enthusiastic over what had been shown him.
 "Why, I tell you. MT. Exum, that is one of the best fairs I have ever seen,' he said You take the free ex- hibits before the grandstand Every one of them appeals to the intelligence of a person and 1t therefore makes him feel like coming again. The airship, the races, especially those on the mo- torcycles, and the football game were more than Is frequently crowded in two days elsewhere.
 q cannot neglect to compliment the city and the fair management upon that most creditable showing. It ex- emplifies perhaps as no other organ ization the varied activities to be found in the state. The agricultural exhibits, those of your minerals and live stock, are every one of them typ ical of a thrifty people. l was deeply interested in the fair. l commend such things to any state, as In no channel that I can recall can the people get to knowing one another better. There Is common bond of friendship that Is generated through such mediums. e
 q believe centralized association having exhibits like this representing the whole state would be a great achievement for any city"

WHARTON TO MAKE TRIP IN AIR sHIP-PERsONALLY ACQUAINTED WITH DARING AERONAUT

Probably the most excited man in Bir- mingham yesterday over the Wellman air ship trip was D. M. Drennen, head of the Drennen Company Department stores. MT. Drennen spent some time at Atlantic City last summer and while there became very intimate with Walter Wellman and was given lot of inside information as to the aeronaut's plans.
 MT. Drennen was invited and urged by Wellman to make the transatlantic trip with him, but on the ground that Mrs, Drennen was very much opposed to it., declined.
 'I used to have long talks with MT. Wellman about his plans.' said MT. Dren- nen last night, land 1t was very interest ing to hear him go into the details con-
