 Among the never-to-be-forgotten ring battles was the 11o-round contest between Jack Burke and Andy Bowen in New Orleans on April s. 1S93-the longest fight Tn the entire history of pugilism.
 Those who were fortunate enough to witness that fistic encounter never tired telling of the wonderful fight those boys put up; recounted times without num- Der the remarkable endurance power of both those gladiators, who after many hours of terrific milling stilI had enough left to put on some rallies after the Tooth round had been passed.
 Bowen was New Orleans muIatto who began his career in the late SOS, fight ing first in the featherweight division, and graduating into the lightweight class about 1890. A glutton for punishment, terrific hitter and a fierce, aggres- sive fighter, Bowen soon became recog- nized as a remarkable lightweight and Is regarded by many experts as the, best lSS-pounder that ever came from below the Mason and Dixon line.
 Unfortunately for Bowen he began his career in an era when purses were all most unknown. About the only money that fighter could make in those days

will not only be a big fair feature. but will bring a world of people as well as much advertisement to Birmingham II IS seldom that the government permits its flyers to give public exhibitions. and 1t shows the attitude of the government toward fairs. Fairs are encouraged by the government, and it urges people to attend, to learn food conservation ana also to find out what is being done on the farms.
 The squadron of aviators will be the biggest attraction ever presented in this section of the country and people from all over the south are expected to attend the fair. No single announcement in re- cent weeks has so interested the general public as the one telling of the appear ance Of the aviation squadron. These aviators perform wonderful feats in the afr-loop the loop, do the tail spin ano Tn fact. do anything even the most noted flyers have ever done.
 This attraction will be wonderful. but there will be other big things at the fair, and there is no doubt that the programme of entertainment and education has never been excelled in the south <
 Auto polo games will thrill daily, ana this sport is considered one of the most hazardous and daring ever presented Travius grand opera pageant is won- derful organization, and there will be hundreds of other big features of interest and education. The fair begins one week from Monday next, and it will be a big exposition. Be there.
