What will probably &C use as mucn
talk as any other sight at the Lclisi-
ana State Fair this year will be the
dazzling fireworks display that Will 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-D uftield
Fireworks Company. -.:is is a concern
that furnishes spectacular pictures anG
other pyro-aero scenes like these wi.l
which the celebrated Paine concern
| has been thrilling the world with for
years.
There will be scores of peautIIuI and
| novel designs, rockets. bombs ana other
explosives and iiiuninations in eacl
nights performance. Inc designs will
| be in very elaborate character, show
ing appropriate scenes and individuals
/ of today. These will all be brilliantly
Illuminated, i'll way tnat only COM
panies like the -Duffield con-
Germ know how to reproduce. Last

peii.'' This year there will be no his
toiical occurrence depicted; s.ch things
| take up too much of the tine. 1t WI!
be round of 'rocketing,'' bombing"
"designing,'' etc. There will be a Dig
variety of the fireworks; something to
please everybody present Mr.. Duffield,
who has had charge of the fire works
f,;. two
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 veal
will be larger than ever tefore, because
the Inducements are going to be great
er. In the first place there will be {
brand new grandstand, with seats 81
arranged that everybody will be abl'
to see the different displays. And an
other improvement in the arrangement
is the fact that there will be no cnarS
for admission. Admission to tn
g grandstand will be absolutely free a
night. Admission to the Fair Ground
q after o'clock in the evening will ais
be absolutely free. Everybody desirin
to see the fireworks may do SO witaoa
!, cost, except the street car fare to tn
grounds.
e To give this big open air feature fre
to the visitors means big expense t
e the Fair Association, but the director
u have decided to make this one of tn
free attractions irrespective of the cos
> to the association. To have the fire
works will cost about $1,000 each nigh
but it will help in populariZing the ia'
and that is what the association wiShe
more than all else.
4 Each night the fireworks program
will start at $50 o'clock. 1t will Ia:
:. about one hour. The quality and no'
- elty of the exhibition that has bee
.e promised assures pleasure to all tf
n. spectators. Those who have witnesst
J., the previous exhibitions will not hay
r. to be urged to attend again this yea
10 They know what a treat it is, and wi
= be on hand. and their exhortation
r. those who haven't been fortuna
in enough to witness the fireworks
= given at the Louisiana Fair is to be {
rs hand also, and be there at the sta
NJ and remain throughout. To tell the
to stay throughout, however, seems VI
in necessary. for they will be interest
e from the opening of the bill and for

n to get them away before the compl
I'M ton of the program.
Each night there will be differe
