attendance as one of larger expenditure.
 The detailed report, which follows, shows that our operating expense was not quite as large as those of previous years and while our races this year were q splendid drawing card they cost some what more than last year, and that while our premiums were considerably in excess of last year when we deduct the s4000 to be returned by the state of Alabama, the net cost of premiums for this years lair will be about S1OOO less The largest increase in expense was in amusements, which exceeded those of former years by approximately $3000 and m advertising, which exceeded by $150O
 one of the most satisfactory phases of tdIe fair is the icreased col lections on concessions. It shows, in ad- dltlon to the other thorough work of the office of our secretary, that the campaign for the sale of concessions and the meth ods used for collecting were very eff fective. Our receipts from concessions were $12,919. 50
 'The success of this years fair dem onstrates very clearly that Birmingham has outgrown the present fair plant, and some provision must be made for giving more space to accommodate the large crowds that assemble at our grounds. As to how this shall be done must be decided by the incoming admin istration. Suggestion has been made that the present office and machinery building be torn away the present stable barns be moved to space between the race track and the southern and western fences and that the space thus made available be occupied by more pretentious buildings which should be erected to accommodate exhibits. Whether this suggestion be acted upon or not it seems imperative that some provision be made for erection of new poultry building, as our present poultry accommodation this year was en- tfrely inadequate, and we cannot hope for even as good a poultry show during the coming year unless a suitable poul. try building is provided
 Our exhibits this year, in all lines, were the grandest and most compre- hensive ever shown on a southern fair ground. They demonstrate that the work of this association in furthering and pushing the legislation for state aid to county and other fairs in Alabama has given great stimulus to the fair spirit of this state. By engendering and stimuat- ing this spirit, even better results may be hoped for in the coming year.
 Your president wishes to extend to each and every member of the board of directors, his fellow officers members of the executive committee, and to the sec retary, who has given most loyal and un- tiring support, his sincere thanks and ap- preciation for their help and assistance during the time that he has been con- nected with the work of the association The appealed report shows in detail the receipts ard disbursements during the fair just closed. Respectfully submitted

That all covenant in any way re- stricting the right of any company or individual in the combination to buy, manufacture or sell tobacco or its pro- ducts should be rescinded by the af frmative action of the respective parties thereto who are parties to this suit.
 Respecting capitalization of the new companies, the Attorney General says:
 The questions of the capitalization of the various corporations among which it is proposed to distribute the properties and businesses now in the combination, as to the distribution of assets as between preferred stock holders and common stockholders, and as to the amounts offered to be paid or distributed to the holders of bonds of either class or preferred stocks are su ubmitted to the court as matters con corning the stockholders of the cor poration and the bondholders, the gov ernment being concerned merely with the disintegration of an illegal com bination and the reorganization of com petitive conditions under such circum stances and with such safeguards as will insure the continuation of such competitive conditions and prevent a recurrence of the unlawful condition found by the court to exist in this case"
 Finally the Attorney General asks for |. general injunction prohibiting the re- creation of the combination or any similar combination.

success it was. From a financial stand- point, as a trade brnger, and as a means of stimulating interest in agriculture ana allied industries, and more thoroughly and widely advertising Birmingham, l be- lieve we can, with all due modesty, claim that the fair of 1911 was success.
 'It is conservatively estimated that the fair brought 90,000 out of town people 10 Birmingham who left here in the way Of trade something over half million dollars. While we attempt no compari- sons of this fair with those of previous years, still we believe that the very large increase in out of town attend anee, which is generally acknowledged, proves without doubt, the efficacy and lhoroughness of our advertising of the fair this year. It is estimated that the attendance during the entire fair period approximated 100000. When it is con- sidered we lost one of our best days through indictment weather, the attend ance and financial results should be grat- flying to all interested in the success of the movement. It would be source of great qualification to us all to know that in the fairs of 1909, 1910 and 1911 our association has built up for Bir mingham the reputation of giving the ls rgest annual amusement event in Ala hama and when the Alabama State Fair and EXn1Dlt dSSOcldliOH duNeIliSeS US fairs the people know they are going to get more than their moneys worth and come accordingly.
 While the crowds that attended the fair this year were, on some days, larger than heretofore, they were handled in a safe and orderly way. Your president has expressed to the police department, the fire department and others who CO., operated with us our appreciation of their splendid services during the recent fair
 While our expenses this year were somewhat larger than other years they involve no item that was not thor oughly discussed with and authorized by your board and executive commit tee, and the attendance shows that the additional expense was not ill advised. My observation and experience in hand llng this years fair leads me to believe that with ordinarily good weather we can depend upon about S60,000 in receipts. On this basis I would recommend that future fairs be built upon an eXpendi- ture of not exceeding s45,000. In the opin- ion of myself and the secretary, who has had several more years experience in fair work, s45,0e0 will put on fair that will bring approximately as large an

 The rebels returned to the fray in the afternoon, bringing endorsements, fresh field guns and Maxims. They attacked the loyalists vigorously but the fight was one sided.
