It was Augusta day, but the delega tion from that city did not (nine! shar ing the enjoyment of it wltih the 200 or more prominent Atlantia ns who r showed up at the fair grounds yester day. 'Mayor Alexander of Augusta was here, accompanied by a quorum of the city council and other representative citizens. ‘Among those.in the party be- * sides Mayor Alexander were City En-‘ glnecr Maxwell. Messrs. P. M. Mul* berln, Washington Adams, George Lombard, A. J. Barnes. W. A. Rob erts, R. W. Hunt. George G. Howard, Joe W. White, passenger agent of the Georgia road; James L. Gow of the Evening News, and J. J. Hyams of the Augusta Chronicle. The party was taken in charge.'- by Mayor Horne and members of council, together with the Dixie Pair executive committee and directors. They were shown every courtesy, were driven to the park In carriages, escorted through the different bulfdlngS and In every' way treated In that hospitable manner ‘characteristic of Macon. The Augusta people were unanimous In their praise of the fair. Mayor AlyS^ ander said It far surpassed his oxIIre lations and In every way fulfilled hlh Idea of. a. truly splendid Southern ex position. Ho has never failed .to- visit . Macon during fair week and ihe Is ca pable Of drawing a comparison between the present exposition and those which have preceded It, and he Is unquali fiedly of the opinion that, the Dixie Pair Is several times larger and bet ter In every way than two or three of those whloh have preceded all put to' nether. THE ATDANTIAN8. Nearly every ' prominent merchant and business man of Atlanta was In •attendance yesterday. Mr. Chamber lain. of Chamberlain, Johnson & Co., the large Atlanta dry goods house, ex plained that It was impossible .for the Atlanta party to reach Macon on Mon day, as they would have. been com pelled to leave home on Sunday In order to see as much of the fair as they would like. Atlantlans, he. suyq, arc religiously opposed to traveling on Sunday, so )t was decided to wait until Monday afternoon and dp the fair on Tuesday. And they averc nil glad they came. Mr. Chamberlain said the excel lence ot the exhibits was truly rematk- nfble and the entire fair was an all round surprise to himself emd nil Ihe other Atlantinns. Mr. Chamberlain thinks a large number of other Atlanta yeoplo will be down during the week. TOO WET FOft RACES. ‘Everything else passed off as usual yesterday except the races, an'd the card will be doubled today, thereby making up for wihat was losLycsterday*. Tho rain during the night and morn ing made the track rather too sloppy for racing, although several- horsemen bad their animals out working them •luring the afternoon. The track will be nil right today and some think the rain has rather tended to Improve the condition of the track. THE CATTLE AWARD. The awards In the cattle. sheeD and hog department were made yesterday, fit was a hard day’s work for the Judge nnd commTttee in charge, but they fin ished at up in good shape. The Judge In charge was Mr. F. A. Lovelock of Salem. Va.. a celebrated expert Judge of cattle, sheep, swine and pou-try. and truthor of tho "Anterictra Cl.ana.ird of Excellence." Mr. Lovelock (has already acted as Jucfcre at sixteen different falra and expositions this year, from New Jersey to Texas. He says the display of cattle at the Dixie Pair Is a man sr tho largest he ha3 ueen. The awards In the cattle -department will flot be published for several days yet THE ATTENDANCE SATISFACTORY up to 1 o'clock the attendance wan unquestionably slim. and jnrroy believed that 6t would be an off day at the fair: but <the!r ideas soon' changed. At 2 o’clock the sun came out. and the crowd caane out with it. In. a remarkably short time the park began, to flu up. and soon the usual crowd was on hand. The crowd ni»y-have been no larger-thu n on .Monday, but there were many strange Monday, but there many more strain faces to be seen on the grounds, and it cun be safely estimated that the num ber of visitors present was double that of the dav before. Besides the large crowd of Augusta and Atlanta people present, there were soorew of other* from Columbia. Rome. Athene, ffcivaa- nah. Brunswick. Albany. Amt-rlcu*. Ulna?n . and. other important. Georgia downo. It wais *a$d at the secretary's • office last night that the attendance was en tirely (satisfactory. considering every thing. it U believed that tho attendance throughout. tho balance • of* tho week will be overwhelming, end toe Dixie Fair directors will begin to sec a cer tainty bf being repaid for ihe. yatft out lay* of money they have made to give’ the people the best Southern exposition of the vear. trouble wrrn passes. There was u howl from everybody who held passes or exhibitor** tickets. Tb-v were all turned bilk tut the **te* and made to present their ticket* ut the secretary’* office to ba counter mine]. This was made awwajuey by *- h# * fact that so many people hav£ !m- r-*^i omb the managers In various ways. Tickets ami masses have been \iuplicatei and other frauds perpetra* ted. until the managers could stand it no longer . Some people—ix^pr--'table people at that—have been engaged In a ayattmaUc sohonic to b'.t th<* fulr. Sev eral cases are on record where one pufu has admitted two ami three whole fami lies to tho fair on the ai-nic day. One man carried in twenty people on his family puss, in some instances the rightful owner of a r*.iss Quu» carried <hls 'family In on ft and then sent it back up town toa friend to be u??d*.o do** the friend’* family and friends Into tho park, lit was absolutely neccasaty to stop thie sort of raud. so the managers simply turned everybody back at the gate yesterday in order to have all passes oourntea-signed by the secretary. POMPEII LAST NIGHT. The damp -weather did not Interfere with Pompeii In the least last ailght. There wius a magnificent atteiiduhce, and it was notable that many of -h03e present had attended the performance on Monday night. It was an indication of the fact that Pompeii Is something one can see over and over again t;nd enjoy it every time. The chinadter of the audience is the most notable feature of all. excepting the performance, of course. It has been generally remarked that the audience which witnessed Pompeii on Monday night was the most cultured ever gath ered together in Macon, This is probo- blv true, for the very best people of the city were there in droves, supplemented by the large attendance of refined nnd cultured visitors. The same was true of the audience l.ist night. The order maintained is remarkable, and no one should any more hesitate to take their entire families to see Pompeii than they would to attend any matinee perform ance at the Academy of Music or any other well regulated theatre. The performance last night was. If possible, better than that of Monday nJght. The players showed more famil iarity with their work, and the piece worked smoother throughout. Manager Price says there will be a still greater Improvement tonight,-us it usually re quires a day or two to gat everything to working well. .The attendance on Monday bight, so Manager Pr-ioe says, was larger than the first night's at tendance in IndianapbRs, where Pompeii played to $27,000 business in one week. The fireworks display last night was entirely different from that of the night before, and there will continue to be n change of programme nightly. Wes leyan College was shown in tire Inut night, and as the outlines of the old building ibegan to .burn themselves be fore the vision of the audience a shout arose which fully .betokened apprecia tion. Credit is due Mr. Bolfeulllet for this, as he hns worked faithfully to Induce the leglaloituro to take a day off, making a.speech which caught thm. THE LEGISLATURE COMING. •Mr. W. W. Collins received a telegram yesterday from Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet i sta ting that the Georgia legtetoiture had I decided *to attend the Dixie Fair in u body on Saturday next. The legislators will perhav» arrive in tho city on a' spa tial train early Saturday morning, or , ifiiVe they will come on Friday night, i The managers of the fair and the mayor I and council are making preparations to j properly! enterta!n» MUoon’o distan- gu^hed guest?, and they will be. al- . lowed,to want for nothing during their stay here. 1 : • »Mft.

Jemlson, assistant secretary. In charge of the ticket business. Mr. Jemison at once Inaugurated a new system and he gives notice tnatnil helpers' and exhibitors' tickets will be ; ©ailed In today amd new tickets is sued. These, tickets will be good at jail of the gates today In order to give as little annoyance as possible, \ they will be taken up by the gatekeep ers and holders will have to go to the secretary’s ofilce during the day to get a new ticket. This will Inconvenience no one and will enable Mr. Jemison to get the’ticket system straightened out. While the fair association regrets hav ing to do thls .lt has become necessary on account of the abuses made of the privilege by do many unscrupulous bonders of such tickets. Mr. Jemison calls on all exhibitors and privilege Jhfolders who desire to see the fair a success 'to help him out In this matter and he promises to cause them as kittle trouble as possible and asks their forbearance for a day or tw.o. t TO TALK COTTON.*. V The big feature today is tho meeting of tho executive committee of the Georgia State Agricultural Society at the president’s office at 11 o'clock this morning for tho purpose of considering the present ruinous price of cotton, and to take some steps, If possible, to remedy impending disaster. Every farmer in attendance on Mw fair Is Invited to this meeting and it is also opened to cotton men, guano dealers and others interested In a like manner In the future of the Hthple. This will be one of the mo»t Import ant meetings of the kind ever held In the atatO, and It will probably result in great good. Col. Waddell, president of the pbciety. who issued the call, Hays ho Is opposed, to tlie. selling of cottou to the injury’ of creditors, but It Is •beFoved tho best Interests of debtor and creditor will be subserved if ad vances can be secured on cotton so as to.allow it r io be held, over, thus stop ping the’large daily receipts and a: *he suine time giving the farmers the op portunity of securing advances on their cotton by whloh they call moot :h« :r obligations and at the same time hold their cotton'for better pric-as, A portion of the call Issued by res ident Waddell reads ns follows: ’’*A brief suggestion as to the plans indicated: Money is plentiful aurl at low rates of Interest In the banks. These banks and commission mer chants, who are our friends, can'bo l.iduccd to advance u roa*c::.itl*» amount on cotton and tnus allow tho farmer *to hold hie cot’on another year, an! at the same time enao'.i h.m to pay Ins obligations to ncarl/ thp full ameunt of his coton. At present prices It-Is .Impossible to more tbai pay the coPt of cultivation,' picking, ginning r.nl for gaano leaving tho fanner nothing wito whldi to meet ornor obligations. If the plans and suggeutloas which yru may promulgate. shall be adopted by the other cotton states, wo believe gj M results will foil dw. There rat bo no doubt that the cotton acreage ■will, of necessity, be grtndy reduced, and the crop reduced in consequence. *” d the ptton carried over command His - Straightforward Speech Has Brought Over Many Now Votes. >.

Ba con's speech before the legislature has been the most discussed topic In politi cal circles .today. On every side It Is spoken or as a masterly effort. Disin terested people who heard it delivered froely pronounce it a moat thoroughly statesmanlike effort ■Sloivly tho talk has dt-ltted toward predictions os to tho effect of the speech upon 'the senatorial sltuatloii The work ers of the other candidates especially discuss tho speech In this lluht. their ef forts .heltnr to pick flaws in tt and to sound tho depths of public opinion for mites of dissatisfaction, but in both of their efforts they have mado a complete failure. The breadth of hla views and the mas terly manner In which ho presented them made a Profound imprewlon even upon his rivals. Onltho money ciucstion the speech Is regarded ns a strong ar gument for sound currency. Many of the Populists, rice sllvorites of tho 10 to i stripe, confess some disappointment because UiJ Bacon refused to Indorse their crude Ideas of finance, but oven the most extreme free silver men bow to tho lojrlp of the cj motion as MaJ Ba con presented it. While he iwon-t on rec ord unequivocally as a bimetallist, stal ing plainly that upon no other policy could this country hope to prosper ho showed a conservatism nnd wisdom In the advocacy of tdlv-r legislation that has baffled all his rivals In their'effort, today to.discover flaws or lnc'anslstcn- cleufn his position. There Is no doubt that the speech greatly strengthened MaJ. Bacon. While he has had enough votes to elect him by n good majority since the day . ho opened up hla headquarters here at the Kimball house, aud hla election has never been In tloubt by those who arc posted on the situation, yet the tact that hla strength grows, instead of remaining at a eandstill Is a high compliment to his ability and omnent fitness for the exalted ofllce to which .he aspires. Col.Garrard's tieadauarters have been more active today than cither those of-Turner or IValSh.

Garrard's' friends will not give out an, figures, except to nay that they have a good many, more votes than they are cred ited with'. Some of them arc willing m bet that there will bo no election bn the first- ballot. There Is undoubtedly n good dc.il of bluffing by friends of the candidates. With the vote that Maj. Bacon Is known asolutcly to have It Is utterly Impossible for the other eandlda'tes -to have what they claim. Still they are Indignant when their claims aro ques tioned «nd they are asked for a show down. They hope that ot the last mo ment something will 'happen to cut down Maj. Bacon's voles, but In this they are staking their hopes on a very slim chance. The only thing that can prevent -Maj. Bacon's election is a de liberate disregard of pledges liy tho men .who have been thronging bis caucuses since Iho campaign began. The other candidate? arc simply mis led in their , own calculatlona or else they are playing a bluff game. ABBKSTKD FOR SEDITION.
