CHERRY FAIR OPENS
Continued from page One.)
Time Changed.


At first it was decided to hold the
baby parade at o'clock in the after
noon, but last night, upon the advice
of several mothers and other ladies in
terested in the proposed show, it was
planned to start the parade at 10
o clock in the morning on Saturday.
The reason for changing the time
was that baby is inclined naturally to
60 to sleep along in the afternoon, and
especially at O'Clock he is fussy and
dcsirous of pounding his ear" and on
account of these infantile traits the dis
play would not be what it could be
made when the tots are in good humor
and not anxious to slumber.
The baby show will be held in Will
son avenue this year, instead of in
some building, weather permitting.
Baby cannot display his fine points in
crowded building, declare the men,
bers of the parade committee, and in
the open air the children are far more
satisfied and comfortable.
Mothers, Attention.
Do not be alarmed to allow your
baby in the parade. There will not be
the slightest danger of them being in
iured. The committee has arranged
plans whereby members of Company M,
of the National Guards, will escort the
infants and their caretakers through
the streets; the street ears will not at
tempt to break the line Of march, and
the chief of police and his men will be
on hand to keep every vehicle of every
description off these streets which will
be occupied by the babies Twenty
well-known citizens have promised to
aid in keeping the streets clear during
the parade and every precaution has
been taken to protect the little ones
from any possible danger.
The old saying that "the whole
world loves a baby" will be truly man
ifested next Saturday, and everyone
will be on hand to look out for the tots,
The chief of police has issued warn
ing to the effect that if any person at
tempts to interfere with the baby pa
rode they will be promptly arrested
and brought before Judge Elgin. Those
driving horses, autos, motorcycles, rid
ing bicycles, or even spectators, must
not appear in the streets during the pa
rade, and the street car company is
cautioned not operate ears on any
street which is occupied by the babies.
Everything Ready.
The various chairmen of the commit
tees held a meeting IN the Illihee club
last night, and they reported every
thing ready for the big three.day Cher
ry Fair. Fine progress has been made
by the general committee and tomor-
row morning at s 'cloclS things will be
moving, and moving with some speed,
and the eighth annual Cherry Fair will
be on.
Band concerts will entertain the peo-
pie between IL and 10 a. M, and the
exhibits tent, which is located on
Church street, between Court and State.
The pavilion in which the cherries are
to be exhibited is all completed, and |
the exhibits will soon be installed.
Final arrangements were made last
night at a meeting held by both the
1918 and the 1865 firemen for mon
ster parade on the Fourth of July.
George Reynolds (colored) attended the
meeting. Mr.. Reynolds slept at the
handles of the first piece of fire appar.
atus ever brought to this city forty
years ago. This old fire fighting ma
chine was hauled out of the city hall
last night by the members who first
operated it, and trial drill was held
at the intersection Of Court and Libers
ty streets, Frank Haas, Walter Low,
George Reynolds, Peter Phillips and
others who were youthful and cup to
snuff when the machine was first
operated here, set the antiquated pump
up and threw stream Of water nearly
as high as the court house last evening
The old pump works the same as it did
when first purchased by the city and
the pioneer firemen performed their
parts like clock work
These oldtimers will be seen in the
parade on the Fourth of July and Sa.

when the witness the activity Of the

first fire in the Capital City, and made
