BABIES ANY TIME.
And the babies, bless their hearts.
will be able to find room until two
] o'clock in the afternoon on the open
| ing day Of the fair. The lists have
| been held open SO long for them, how
ever, chiefly to give the out-of- town
! baby chance equal to that of the
Pensacola baby and the women of the
| Daughters Of Isabella, who are pro-
| noting this feature, are anxious to
| have all the local babies entered dur
ing the coming week. Mrs. John Mas
sey and others of the committee are
receiving entries by telephone.
Nearly all of the concessions have
been made and many large firms will
have excellent locations for attractive
booths.
NUMEROUS DISPLAYS.
On the east side Of the midway will
be an exhibit by the Lewis Bear Com
pany, who are building a place for
exhibition purposes. Another building
about completed will be occupied by
the Consolidated Grocery Company for
its exhibit.
The Fisher Barkdull Land Company
will occupy a space in the agricultural
tent and will there interest prospee-
tive farmers in locating in the state.
Other midway booths of a different
nature will be occupied by the Fair
Amusement Company and by Rene J..
Zonary, the latter from Coney Island,
New York.

number of new trolley cars which it
will put on this year under a faster

AGRICULTURAL TENT UP.
The agricultural tent is up and in
readiness to receive exhibits as rap
idly as those showing desire to get
them under cover and arranged.
The live stock building has been
greatly enlarged to meet the require
ments of increased entries and will
be open all week for the housing of
stock. 1t will now accommodate al
most twice as many animals as be-

The building Of the woman's DEPART
ment has been completely oyerhauled
and improved.
There will be great many free at
fractions at the fair. Harness races.
jockey races, motorcycle races, chariot
races and other live events will have
a practically continuous showing.
Another great feature will be the
athletic events to be conducted chiefly
by the Y. NJ. c. A. and its athletes.
These will bring to the fore the best
athletes of Western Florida and good
time is promised in the running
events and high marks in the shot
putting, pole vaulting and jumping
events. There will be fast dashes for
100 or 200 yards and runs of longer
distances and relay races will proba-
bly, be held.
