TRENTON, N. j., Oct 2-Today Is
getaway" day at the Interstate Fair,
and thousands of visitors came from all
parts of the State to pick up the bar
gains to be had when the exhibits close.
The attendance was large this morning
and increased until noon, when many
left the grounds. Many of the stands
and exhibits are being leveed prepara-
tory to being shipped to the next fair, at
Mount Holly.
The automobile exhibit drew a large
crowd today. All kinds of cars were
shown, and some freak machines among
them. The machinery exhibit also was a
good drawing card.
Aviator Niles gave a wonderful ex-
hibitlon today, continuing his tricks in
the air shown during the week He made
spirals. dips, the figure eight and flew

crowd, who cheered his daring.
The judges were kept busy today
awarding prizes. Great interest was
manifested in the outcome of the prize

ment
Secretary Mahlon r. Margerum. of the
Fair Association, stated today that the
exposition was one of the most success

MORTALITY IN BATTLES
MAY BE FOUND LOW
Wholesale Slaughter improbable
Even With Deadly New weanons

wholesale Slaughter improbable
Even With Deadly New Weapons
To read of battle in which 1900. 600
are engaged naturally raises visions OF
wholesale slaughter. All the appliances
Of modern warfare are designed to that
end; ell the skill and science Of the great
est military experts are directed to that
purpose
Yet, basing estimates on authentic his
torical records, there is good reason to
assume that the number OF men killed
In any one battle in France will be sur
prisingly low when compared with the
death rate under normal circumstances
among the same number of men. At
Gettysburg, for instance, the death rate
per 1000 was 55.5, the highest in q battles
in the Civil War. According to the
figures published by the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company In tho
American Experience Table of Mortality.
for every 1000 men living at the age of
40 there will be 55.6 deaths before reach
ing the age of So. For all purposes. this
Is exactly the same rate of mortality as
that on the field OF Gettysburg. That is
to say, each soldier had the same chance
of surviving the battle of Gettysburg that
man now ~ years old has of living to
be So. At the battle of charlottesville
the death rate among the soldiers engaged
was 2o3 per 1000 According to the life in
surance tables, the death rate per 1000
among men in peaceful pursuits ranging
in age from ~ to "A is exactly the same.
Every soldier at Shiloh, where the death
rate in battle was 422 per 1000. had the
same chance Of escape alive as the aver
age man of 30 has OF reaching the age
of &c.
These figures are surprising in showing
how far we are likely to be led astray in
calculating the relative mortality in
battle.

 Two thousand dollars has been set
 aside by the State Fair Commission

 Seven hundred and fifty dollars is hung up for cowboy relay races. Two hundred and fifty dollars on Monday, $25O on Wednesday and $250 on Sat urday. The boys must saddle from the ground and change every quarter mile. The distance of the race is one mile and half and the money divided on the results of each days performance.
 One hundred and seventy-five dol lars will be given to the winner or what is known as cowboy cutting contest. Two barrels will be set about twelve feet apart, fifty yards south of the wire, and two barrels same dis tance apart will be set fifty yards north of the wire. The horses will start from the wire at the crack of the gun, pass between the first two barrels, circling around one of them and passing between the barrels again and circling around the other barrel and then away to the second set of barrels, cutting the figure eight be- tween and around them also, and back again to the starting point. Stop watches will be used, and the horse doing the stunt in the quickest time will be declared the winner.
 In addition to the above, there will be a potato race, commencing on the first day of the fair and occurring daily, and Secretary Wood announces that if the right sort of steers can be secured, bareback steer riding contests will also be held.
