THANKS THOSE
CONTRIBUTING
EXTRA PRIZES
FIELD AGENT OF COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATIONS is VERY MUCH
PLEASED WITH THE NUMBER
OF SPECIAL PREMIUMS.

That he is greatly pleased with the
numerous responses to his request for
special premiums to be offered in the
agricultural department of the Pen
sacola Interstate Fair and that he
hopes that there will be still others
who will yet respond, was the sub
stance of statement made by L. w.
Hardy, field agent of the Pensacola
Commercial Association, who is en-
gagged in collecting the agricultural
exhibit for Escambia county, to a rep
resentative of The Journal yesterday
afternoon.
Il am more than pleased with the
manner in which the business people,
especially, have responded to the re-
quest that I made some weeks ago
through The Journal for special pre-
miums, and I want to ask you to thank
them through your paper for the lib
eral contributions and offers already
made he said.
However, the more Of these special
premiums there are offered, the greater
will be the interest in this depart
ment of the fair, and 1 would like to
urge others who are interested in the
agricultural development Of Escambia
county and West Florida to further
encourage this work by offering special
premiums of any kind. I do not care
upon what article or in what class
they offer premiums, but will appre-
ciate it If they will offer them for any
thing in this department, as am con-
WINGED that every special premium
offered increases the interest in the
agricultural exposition just that much"
To Boost Fair In the North.
Mr.. Hardy said that Mr.. and Mrs.
G. c. Hardy, of Roberts, two Of the
most enthusiastic fair boosters in the
county, had gone to Ell Paso, Ill, for
months visit to relatives and that
they had expressed their determination
to boost the fair in that section of the
country.
They took some of the Pensacola In
terstate Fair buttons with them and
will make 1t a point to tell their
friends about Escambia county and
the Pensacola Interstate Fair.

Old Father Time with his scythe has
no terrors for Ed Geers, the famous
old jockey. Pop" at the age of sew
enty-five is tougher than a nut, and
still has to be reckoned as one of the
great drivers of the world. Geers, who
is still winning races on the Grand
Circuit, has been the maker of more
trotting and pacing champions than
any other man living. He has figured
in the big races for the last As years,
and his prowess is as great today as
ever.
Our British cousins will make a
strong bid for the international trophy
for motor boats this year. This series
of races will be the only international
event at New York this season and
great preparations are being made on
both sides of the Atlantic. The races
are set for August 26-27-2S. Lord
Charles Beresford, who is commodore
of the Royal Motor Yacht Club, is
i.:,lch interested in the outcome of the
races. and declares the triple defeat
TIE British have suffered has not
dampened their enthusiasm.
Certain Brown university men have
caught the rowing fever and are
working hard to have the sport re-
vived at the Providence institution. A
similar attempt was made last year,
but without success. The principal
difficulties seem to be financial ones.
The British are already working
overtime figuring ways and means OF
winning the next Olympic contest, at
Berlin in 1916. They have approached
Ernie Hjertberg, trainer of the Swedish
athletes for this years Olympic, with
a. proposition to train the English attn
Ietes for the German meet.
There are five standard events on
the Olympic games program in which
America has never been defeated.
They are the 110-meter hurdles, the
running broad jump, the standing high
Jump, the shot put and the hammer
throw. In four other events the Unit
ed States athletes have sustained only
one defeat, and this includes the 400
meter race. the running high jump.
the standing broad Jump and the pole
vault. The hop step and-jumF and
the javeIin throw are two events in
which Americans have never starred.
What are you holding your bat in
your hands for?" asked Ed Sweeney,
the New York Yankees star catcher,

Los Angeles Record; Ladies, your
kind attention for moment. The
National Tailors' association has de-
creed what your fashionable male com
pany shall look like, and it means a
revelation and a revolution.
The coming gent-the gent of this
fall and winter who dresses to be "in
it'-must be lean like the tongs and
long like the wireless mast Gents
with the watermelon contour going and
cSming, will not be in demand as
classy. This point is important. Ladia as
will take great care to avoid gents who
look at all stall fed, or, indeed, fed ia
any fashion. The gent with the pale
tripey, gas pipey tout ensemble will
be the thing.
Coats will be short and tight fitting
! with rolled lapels and high cut vest
Goats that barely conceal the hind sus-
pender buttons will be very fetchine
and should be snug at the busting point
The vest must snuggle up to the polka
dot collar ana its color may be green
and yellow. The vest may also be OF
two colors. but if it may be green and
yellow, what's the use specifying other
colors.
iHt pdHlS Will De, nay, must be. a
dream. BY using a shoe horn and rub
bing his stills with automobile grease
the gent Of this fall will be able to ge,
into his pants. The ultra fashionable
gent will not be able to get out OF
his pants, once he's in them, so strong
/ is the decree for tightness of this gar
ment. The determination is, evidently
to go the hobble skirt one better Next
sc ason the ultras may discard the pants
altogether and just whitewash the
boDey gaspipes from the ankles upward
to meeting with the green and yellow
vest, but the National Tailors' associa-
effect would be a sufficiently long steI
forward for the present.
The hat must be a stiff, black OF
brown in color, and fit as low on the
head as the ears will permit, thus pro
N 0ting that distingue mien so much af-
fected by peddlers of collar buttons and
shoestrings.
Stockings are left to individual taste
You can wear green and yellows Il
match your vest, or polka dots, or those
| your mother gave you.

task of giving the public a winter
course of entertainment of high OF

not primarily for the profit that will
accrue to the treasury of the club.

course will be almost $500. tickets to
the four entertainments may be had
for the nominal price of $3.50. if takeI.
