The GREAT STATE FAIR.
II Grows Larger as it Grows Old.
Clean PPOgfdme for This Year.

| We have just received from tn,
| North Carolina Agricultural Society
a striking little booklet that is
bright gem in its class. 1t is tiny
but full of facts and figures about
North Carolina and her Great State
Fair that will be held for the fifty.
first time at Raleigh on October II
I8, 10, 20, 1911. There are only
eight small pages and a neat, veay
tasty cover, all Of size to fit in the
ordinary envelope. Cuts show a
birdeye view Of the Fair Grounds
while the Fair is going on and Lin
coin Beachey flying in his Curtiss
aeroplane over Niagara Falls.
There is an appreciation of North
Carolina that carries point in every
paragraph, fact in every sentence,
clothed in astyle as attractive as the
story it tells, and all in one small
page.
The marvellous progress of the
State is told in a comparative table
Of crop figures for 1905 and 1910,
and similar alinement of statistics
of the manufacturing industries.
In addition there are comparative
values of farm land and buildings,
implements and machinery, labor
and fertilizers.
In brief review Of the work of the
State tair the booklet calls attention
to the fact that it is chartered with
out capital stock, its real property
being held in trust to secure a bond
ed debt, any profits made going into
a surplus which is spent in improve
ments and increasing premiums.

two balls are absolutely decisive of
nothing as regards the general propo-

SHOWED OLD BALL lIVELIER
Boston People Experiment After
Doubling ResiIIency Of New
Sphere-Test Causes Confusion.

There has been much controversy
among baseball players and baseball
fans this season regarding the ball
now In use in the major leagues, tho
dtsputants lining up on the question
whether the ball now in use Is or is
not livelier than the one used last sea-
son. ~
Many claim that the high batting
averages of some of the players at the
present time are due to the livelier
ball, while others claim that they are
due to the ineffectiveness of the pitch
ers and that the ball 10 no livelier
than the one used last season.
OF course, II the manufacturers will
not settle the doubt 1t would be nee
essary to subject the balls to scientific
tests and examination in order to
definitely determine the facts, and
even then balls which were supposed
to be identical In make might show q
difference in resiliency because 1t
probably Is not possible that any two
Of them are exactly alike.
Some tests were made the other day
with two balls, one of them issued
for use in the American league late
last season, and one that was issued
for the season of 1911. These were
dropped from a height of Is feet sim.
ultaneously. They struck concrete
floor at as nearly the same instant az
they could be made to do so, and
they were photographed at the mo-
mont they had reached the extreme
height of tho rebound. -.
It was found that the ball issued
for last season bounded higher than
the one issued for this season, the Diff
erence in height being clearly shown
In tho photograph.
Several other tests were made and
invariably the 1910 ball proved to be
