late deliveries was increased by trans

to July to later positions. Selling
pressure was restricted. because of a

"For six years I have been president
 of the Alabama State Fair" said R. A. Brown last night, "and never during this period have I had such a satis- factory show as this year. The crowds have been all that we could take care
 of, and they have been very orderly and every one has been in good
 humor. The midway stands out as the greatest carnival in the world.
 "The agricultural exhibition, &C., cording to the judges is the best that has ever been shown in Alabama. The cattle show exceeded expectation. Ad- ditional room had to be made to care for them.
 "The womans department was a
 huge success. In fact the Alabama
 State Fair has asserted itself. With
 the cooperation of the people it should
 grow to be larger each year. Big inn provements are planned for next year. '"The free attractions were each a headliner. We had acts from New York and from the largest circuses. In fact, they were assembled from all over the world.
