HOLD MIRROR UP TO NATURE
State Fair at Nashville Reflects CenH
tions in Each of the Counties.

The people of Tennessee are begin
ming to appreciate the greatness AMI
magnitude of the Tennessee State Fair
at Nashville. Here within few years
has been built one of the strongest, most
permanent and best equipped State fairs
in the entire South. The State Fair
at Nashville is in class with the fairs
of surrounding states, that have been
financed by hundreds of thousands OF
dollars OF states money. This great re.
flector of Tennessee progress and adj
vancement this show window OF the
state of Tennessee--this great educator
In the industrial affairs of Tennessee
people--has, in few years, taken fore
most place among the great fairs OF the
nation. This is due to several infli-
ences. First, Nashville is the natural
location for great institution like the
State Fair The capital city of the state
to which its people delight to make an
annual pilgrimage each autumn, Is, in
countless ways, attractive to visitors.
When the people come to the State Fair
to exhibit their products and rejoice over
the prosperity that has blessed them
from year to year, they. find the best
appointed fair grounds in all the South,
and within but short distance from the
heart of the city. There the visitors
may review the work of a progressive
State Fair management. The fennes-
see State Fair has come to be in reality
the reflection of the physical and finaa-
cial condition of our state. The coming
great exposition to be held September
90 to October 4 will eclipse in every
way the fine record of the years past.
Every department of the great far to
be held this fall will be filled to over
flowing. The management is delighted
with the advance entries and all indi-
cations point to the most successful ex-
hib;tion ever held in the history OF the
Tennessee State Fair.

dare-devils, tore out on their race
around the course about 'steen times.
A gaunt woman in blue percale

a pool of water. The woman then
took position in front Of the pony
and commanded it to leap, and after
several false starts out 1t came and
landed kerplunk! in the midst of the
pool. A little dog raced madly over
the structure, and hit the pool at the
minute the pony emerged. Music by
the Swain band was pleasing. some
excellent selections being given. Cow
BOYS had an exhibition etent also, and
made raids frequently from their
stronghold to round up tender foots.
With their red shirts and western
garb, fiery ponies and pistol shots they
kept the crowd moving their way.
These were some of the amusement
features on the general highway of
the Fair.
In the Woman's Building there was
sn excellent display of embroidery,
quilts and counterpanes. cooking good
enough to eat aud artwcrk. There
was music Of some kind going on all
the time here among the flowers and
,potted plants, from violins and piano,
vocal. to brass band selections. A
yeranda was added to the Woman's
Building this year and proved a pleas

Fair and hear the music. In the low

body 1t contained was removed from the
right side Of the altar of the Cathedral Of
San Domingo and transferred to the Cathe.
dral of Havana, then In Spanish territory,
and reinterred there on January 10. 1896.
Here arises the crucial point In the con.
troversy. for it is asserted that the bones
hen removed were not those Of Columbus
himself, but those of his son Diego, who
was also buried at San Domingo
Early in the nineteenth century the
island of Hayu became independent, and
was divided INTO two republics, one known
as Hayti and the other as San Domingo
On September 10. 1877. while new floor
was being laid in the Cathedral of San
Domingo, the workmen came across
small chamber between the wall and the
vault from which the Spaniards had re.
moved the casket in 1895. In this chamber
was found an ancient leaden casket con.
tanning human bones
From the inscriptions on the coffin H.
was evident that the Spaniards in 1875
had not removed the remains OF the dis
coverer. but those of his son Diego A
later investigation was made by the Off
cials OF San Domingo on January IL, 1891,
in the presence Of the foreign consuls, and
confirmed the view that the bones of Co
lumbus were actually here. The evidence
to this effect has satisfied the commission
ers of the Panama-Pacifc Exposition.
Spain, however. continued to assert that
she possessed the bones Of Columbus at
Havkna. On New Years Day, 1899, the
Spanish flag wes hauled down in the CAPT
tai OF Cuba. and the Stars and Stripes
hoistcd in It's place. The descendants Of
the early conquistadors did not wish to
leave the remains OF the great discoverer,

OF those who had driven them out OF their
last stronghold.
Sadly and proudly the Spaniards con-
veyed the supposed bones of Columbus
from the cathedral to the warship Giralda.
On January 10 the ship arrived at Seville
amid the laundering salutes Of the bat
teries on shore. The authorities solemnly
received the sarcophagus and transferred
It to the cathedral, where requiem mass
was sung.
1t was then interred in a magnificent
tomb of colored bronze. Four crowned
heraldic figures representing the four an
ctent kingdoms from which Spain was
formed bear aloft the sarcophagus. The
Spaniards still cherish the fond illusion
that they possess the bones of Columbus.
and the tomb constantly visited by tour
lists and others.
In gathering evidence relating to the
bones Of Columbus the commissioners were
greatly impressed by the historical inter-
est Of San Domingo The island of Hayti
Is very closely bound up with the history
Of Columbus. In December. 1892, on his
first voyage to America. after he had
turned his course homeward, he sighted
this Island. which he called Hispaniola
Oittle Spain). He penetrated into the in.
terror, where he planted wooden cross
on Santo Cerro (Holy HID.
In 1895 Columbus began the settlement
OF the Island. His brother and son were
associated with him. The present capital.
San Domingo was founded in 1899. 1t Is
the Oldest Christian city in the New World
The bishopric established in 1873 IS the
mother see of all Spanish America.
The present cathedral, finished in 1910,
is the oldest church In America. Here is
still reverently preserved fragment Of
the cross which Columbus set up on Santo
Cerro. and about which miraculous legends
have grown up In the course of four CEN
turtles.
The chapel in which Columbus and sew
eral of his kinsmen were buried is very
beautiful and remarkable specimen OF
Spanish Gothic architecture. It is the only
work OF this character in the two Amer
icas, and was erected at time when
Gothic was nearly extinct in Europe.
Columbus lived for many years on the
island, and was here imprisoned by his
enemies. From San Domingo he set out
on his last voyage to Spain. The palace
which he occupied and the prison in which
he was lodged are among the many inter-
esting buildings now shown In San Do
mingo. There is no doubt that this re-
markabe old city still contains much that
would contribute to the history of the dis.
coverer Of America.
There are extensive gold mines In the
interior, and Spain derived much of her
gold from here. Francis Drake sacked
