 Season

Secretary J. L. Dent. of the Ala bama state fair, which opens October Band clses October ', announced yes- terday that season books for the fair would go on sale tomorrow at the downtown stores and would be taken off sale the Saturday before the fair Is scheduled to get going.
 It behooves all those intending taking in the fair to get the season books said MT. Dent. "as they give one individual admission at re- duction and may be used by any member of the family. A book of six tickets may be purchased for S2.oo, the buyer saving dollar on the deal. These tickets may be used sinsly or in parties. or any way any other six tickets might be used If bought at retail"
 Mir. Dent, in discussing the coming fair, waxed enthusiastic over the hip- podrome acts that will be offered in front of the grandstand this year. He says these are the best he has ever brought to Birmingham, and feels they will be knockout with the general public. The Fair as-
 
 fractions and added two to the numerical strength of the acts. Heretofore only twelve feature acts have been used in front of the grandstand, and this year fourteen are in order.
 Some of Big Acts
 Among some of the acts booked for this department of the enter tainment are: "Bartholdi's Birds'', ''the Aerial Patts'', Joe Melvin and Giri", The Peerless Circus', The Wright Duo.". Rosetta and Lewis, Warden Brothers, Kings of the Jugglers." and California Frank s Wild West in five acts" Bartholdi.s birds represent what is probably the greatest troupe of trained birds in the world today. They do stunts that are unbelievable and show hu- man intelligence as they entertain the multitudes.
 The Aerial Patts grew famous through trouping with some of the biggest eircuses in existence. There came time, however. when they outgrew the circus. Their act had become so firmly established that the circus could no longer pay the pi ice. This season they are being featured by all the big fairs of the country. as they defy the laws of gravity with their wizardry in the ozone.
 Joe Melvin and Girl have a novelty act that has never before been seen in the south. It Is full of mystery, oleverness and comedy. They will score a big hit with the fair patrons.
 For the kiddies, and grown-ups too, the fair management is offering the Peerless circus this year. It Is dog and pony show, with educated ponies performing in wonderful man ner, and with laughable clowns add ing to the merriment.
 The Wright Duo give balancing feats on ladders and the like and are said to have the greatest balancing act in either circusdom or vaudeville. They have been in both. but have graduated along with other stellar performers to the ranks of fairdom, where audiences are measured by thousands rather than hundreds
 In Rosetta and Lewis the man sgement offers girl heralded as Europes most beautiful athlete II is her first visit to the states on tour, and she Is scoring a big hit wherever she and her acrobatie part ner appear.
 The Warden Brothers are the cele- brated upside-down novelty jug glers, with an entirely new ana original act which Is full of sur prises.
 California Franks Wild West show is a real cowboy exhibition, in which the finest horses from the west--and the wiidest-are conquered by some of the best riders in the universe.
 These acts make up only few of the many to be seen in front of the grandstand, and added to the midway attractions, which are furnished by Johnny J. Jones, and the running races, and automobile races, they will give fair patrons more real amuse- ment features than they have seen in many a year.
 Secretary Dent was mighty busy man all day Saturday, but he couldn't resist stopping for a few minutes and going over his plans for the states annual show with The Age Herald reporter. He raved at length over the great poultry show, the fine live stock exhibits, the fireworks display, the automobile races In which Sig Hugdahl worlds champion speed devil will appear with his famous Wisconsin Special, and the gigantic radio exhibit In talking of the lat ter he said that the Alabama Power company and the Matthews Electric company would place broadcasting and receiving stations on he grounds, and all Birmingham dealer S would have booths Tor the first am nual radio exhibit and wireless show.
