The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-08

A multitude of people, incomparable to any ever seen on the Alabama State Fair grounds on the third day, and numbering over 10000, witnessed the exhibitions at the fair grounds yester- day.
 Special trains from all portions of Alabama brought people of all kinds and varieties to Birmingham. All day long they poured in and out of the city ---coming in at one part and out at the other, spending the day at the fair grounds.
 Tho midway, which Is one of the best in existence, is in full sway, and the excellent shows there are being crowd cd with the curious and the amusement seekers. The races and the football game drew the majority of the crowd to the grandstand. Never did the strong cid stand groan and creak under it's burden as it did yesterday. Never was the smile of President Burton as bland as the one he wore on yesterday The uuconsciousiy stern countenenea of the eenia1 Secretary Chaffee was a wreath of smiles and good nature.
 The way along the stock pens was crowded from the beginning to the end cf the day; the poultry exhibit drew more than its quota of visitors, and to pa~ through the industrial art and ag- ricnltural buildings without pumping into somebody was a practical imposs- bility,
 Hamilton's Flight
 ierh nf pla Ia drew all to points of vantage bordering the race track. As the daring birdman waited himself into the clouds and scared as gracefully as a bird, the cheers which went up to him were defeaning and unequalled.
 The football game between Howard and Georgia Tech also came in for it's share cf the applause. As the young fellow rolled, tumbled and tossed. bit jury, the crowd yelled and cheered and went mad. It was a good natured crowd and good natured crowd is al- ways ready for anything which will produce more good nature.
 Gus Henderson. the old reliable gosh pipp," drew his usual rounds of laugh ter by his exerutiatingly funny antics on the platform, from which the grand stand was just opposite.
 This afternoon. weather permitting, sacred concert, the like of which has never been offered to Alabama people ebfore, will be produced. Sacred music of all nations will be played by the lnnes band which is entertaining royalty the people of Alabama during tie fair. A most interesting programme ih offered for the occasion.
