The players shared in Sunday’s receipts by courtesy of the manage ments of the two clubs who con cedes that if Sunday’s receipts should be larger than those of any previous day, the smallest receipts should be considered as accruing to the fifth game and the Sunday re ceipts accredited to the fourth con test, the last in which the players had a financial share.

NUMBER 22. State Fair Opened Wednesday. Despite the fact that many of the exhibits were not completed, hun dreds of visitors passed through the gates at Central City Park yester day, on the opening day of the Georgia Slate Fair. Words of praise were heard on all sides and the general verdict expressed by everyone was the fair this year far surpasses any previous undertaking in this state. The gates were open ed yesterday morning tit 10 o’clock but there were very few visitors in the fair grounds up to the noon hour, for that reason the manage ment decided not to carry out the program of addresses that had been announced. The majority of the persons at the park during the morning were buisily engaged in putting on the finishing touches and they did not have time to stop and hear the words of the orators no matter how much they would have have‘liked to, even had they been spoken. The fact that there were not many people on hand during the morning gave the workmen an opportunity to put in some good licks and by the afternoon the in terior of the exhibit presented a scene of activity. Visitors constant ly thronged through the buildings, admiring the exhibits and after tir ing of that for the time being, jour neyed to the White Way and then back to the exhibits again. No one was found yesterday who would say they had been able to see every thing on the grounds, for that is considered a physical impossibility for one day. The first night crowd came up to expectations. The White Way was crowded the entire evening and hundreds of people witnessed the exhibition by the Pain fire fighters, or the “Battle in the Clouds.” The exhibition was a thrilling spectical and for more than an hour the dis pley continued unchecked. today will be the real opening of the fair and thousands of stran gers will arrive in the city, the . railroads having made special rates and have provided extra coaches for all of their regular trains. day will lie known as Grass day and the people from that section of the state are coming in full force. Many will come i ll auto mobiles and a big automobile pa rade will be held at 10:30 o’clock, participated in by automobiles of the Wire Grass section. E. H. Hayman will be chief marshal of the day and a handsome loving cup will be awarded to the town send ing the largest delegation.
