Exhibits of Livestock,
Shows all in Place.

FAIR GROUND
ROAD SPRINKLED

Through the efforts of Lee
Brasfied, Bud Little and ]. E.
Peery, a fund was made up
here Monday to pay for sprink-
ling the road from town to
the fair grounds. Two big
spriklers, one mounted on a
truck, are kept busy day and
night. The dust is thoroughly
settled, and fair visitors will
thank these gentlemen and the
generous citizens Of Dresden
for this consideration.
The fair ground on Tuesday af-
ternoon presented the appearance of
a veritable bee hive. Wagon after
wagon, auto after auto, was coming
in laden with all kinds and descrip-
tons of farm products. All ex-
hibit space is full. The roads were
lined with fine cattle EN- route TO
the fair grounds, and citizens from
all sections Of the country appear
to be showing an unusual interest
in the 1920 fair.
Mr.. Ellis informed the Enterprise
reporter Tuesday afternoon that
the agricultural exhibit is the larg-
est in the history of the association.
There are two district displays, two
apple exhibits and three individual
farm exhibits, space allotted to
grasses, clovers, ETC., another to
dairying, etc.
There are three sections OF the
farm products display-the corn
club booth, general farm display and
county council display. The girls
booth is an entire show in itself,
while the ladies' department is more
attractive than ever.
Up to Tuesday there had arrived
26 fast race horses to compete for
honors on the track, which is pro-
nounced by race horse men to be IN
excellent condition and the best half
mile track in the circuit. Other
horses are coming. The racing
PROMISES to be good.
Other .special features are the
high diving into net-not tank
as the Enterprise stated last week.
The Jim Moran automobile leap
a real thriller.
The Goodman Carnival Co. is on
the ground with five carloads OF
equipment features.
The above is just brief outline
Of onlv part to be seen this week at
the fair grounds. There is only one
possible way to know what is there
Of an educational value, as well as
as good, wholesome amusement
GO SEE IT!
The Enterprise is published day
earlier this week. There is but one
real true reason for tive, editor
and force, want to see the fair and
meet friends there. It's sort of
vacation with us, and we propose en-
jOying it.

MORE CHANGES AT YALE
Calvin Gets Another Chance al Gen. ter-Jones Taking No Chances With Callahan and AcoSta.

New Haven. Nov. 3.-That Yale's lineup for the Brown game is still unsettled was shown yesterday when Head Coach Tad Jones made four more changes, sending Ed Quaile and Herbert Herr back to the guard po- sitions. displacing Harry Cross at center and giving the berth to Billy Calvin again. and reinstating Howard Campbell at left halfback. Thorne Murphy and Herbert Kempton were alternated at quarterback
 Captain Tim Callahan and John Acosta were at guard during the sig nal rehearsal, but both are still suf- fering from injured ankles. and Jones does not expect to use them before the Princeton game. The coaches have settled upon Herr as one of the guards for the Brown battle, and yesterday tried Ed Quailo for the other. It was his first scrimmaging since he was injured three weeks ago. He developed rapidly this fall from the third eleven and was re- garded as good regular timber when injured. If he does not win a guard position against Brown, Albert Into will be used. but the coaches are inclined to replace Mackay with Into, despite the fact that Macl<ay played yesterday, while Into rested.

GOING TO AUSTRALIA
American Tennis Team Star for Anti
 podes in Quest of International Cup-Champion Tilden Will Play.

New York, Nov. 3.-Speeded by the good wishes of every American fol- lower of lawn tennis William T. Til- den. 2d, and Watson NJ. Washburn, the eastern members of the Davis Cup team, left here yesterday on their long journey to Auckland. New Zea- Iand in quest of the famous interna- tional emblem of tennis supremacy. They travel straight to San Francis co, where they will join William M. Johnston and Captain Samuel Hardy, the other members of the team. Aft CT a few exhibition matches in San Francisco they will sail for Australia, on Nov. 12. American tennis fans believe that Tilden and Johnston at their best are capable of bringing back tho cup unaided. The one ques- ton is whether, under strange con- ditions. especially of climate. they will be able to reach their highest stan- dard of play. American players in other pilgrimages to Australia, es- pecially in 1911, when Larned, Wright and Mclaughlin composed the team, have. found the climate considerable of a handicap.
