FIREWORKS AT FAIR
They viii Be Furnished by the
Newton. Duffield. Company.
TO BE MUCH ENJOYMENT
There Will Be Numerous Rockets,
Bombs, Designs and Other Interest
Ing Firsworks-ths Exhibition Will
Be NIGHTLY and Free Of CHARGE.

What will probably cause as much
talk as any other sight a, the Louisi-
ana State Fair this year will be the
dazzling fireworks display that viii be
seen each night in front of the grand
stand. as the result of an agreement
that has been reached between the Fair
Association and the Newton Duffieid
Fireworks Company. This is a concern
that furnishes spectacular pictures and
other pyro-aero scenes like those with
which the celebrated Paine concern
has been thrilling the world with for
years.
There VIII be scores of beautirui and
novel designs, rockets. bombs and other
explosives and Nominations in each
nights performance. The designs viii
be In very elaborate character. show
ing appropriate scenes and individuals
of today. These will all be brilliantly
Illuminated, In way that only COM
panies like the Newton Duffield con-
Germ know how to reproduce. Last
year The Battle of Juarez" was shown,
and the year before the feature of the
fireworks was the Last Days of Pom
peii.' This year there will be no his
torfcal occurrence depicted; such things
take up too much of the time. 1t will
be a round of 'rocketing," bombing"
designing" etc. There will be a big
variety OF the fireworks; something to
please everybody present. Mr.. Duffield,
who has had charge Of the fire works
at the fair here for the past two or
three years, is expected to be in COM
mand again. and that's enough to in
sure big success. He knows what the
people Of this section like best, and is
planning to make this years exhibition
the greatest success OF all.
The number of spectators this year
VIII be larger than ever before, because
the inducements are going to be great
err In the first place there will be
brand new graHdstand, with seats so
arranged that everybody VIII be able
to see the different displays. And an
other improvement in the arrangements
is the fact that there viii be no charge
for admission. Admission to the
grsndstand will be absolutely free at
night. Admission to the Fair Grounds
after O'Clock in the evening will also
be absolutely free. Everybody desiring
to see the fireworks may do SO without
cost. except the street car fare to the
grounds.
To give this big open air feature free
to the visitors means big expense to
the Fair Association, but the directors
have decided to make this one OF the
free attractions irrespective Of the cost
to the association. To have the fire
works will cost about 81 900 each night,
but 1t will help in popularizing the lair,
and that Is what the association wishes
more than all else
Each night the fireworks program
Will start at 80 o'clock 1t will last
about one hour, The quality and nov
city OF the exhibition that has been
promised assures pleasure to all the
spectators. Those who have witnessed
the previous exhibitions viii not have
to be urged to attend again this year.
They know what a treat Ii is, and viii
be on hand, and their eXhortation to
those who haven't been fortunate
enough to witness the fireworks as
given at the Louisiana Fair is to be on
hand also. and be there at the start
and remain throughout. To tell them
to stay throughout. however, seems un-
necessary. for they will be interested
from the opening of the bill and force
would have to be used. 1t is predicted,
to get them away before the compile
ton OF the program.
Each night there will be different
program. The first one will be given
October 80, which the date on which
the fair opens this year, to continue
through November 6.
