If Uio people of the South want any
better exposition than the Dixie Inter
state Fair, they will have to travel far
ana wait a Iona tjme to get it.
Those who are here, and who have
been here, don't want anything better,
and those who will yet come will got la
the same procession und add their
praises to the gracious shower poured
out every day by thousands of good
people from every section of this and
other states.
Thu Dixie Fulr grows bigger, better
and grander In every' respact’each day,
Und It seems that as the attendance’
swells the fair grows more attractive
in proportion. ’ - ’ .
Yesterday' whs a day tons to be re
membered In Macon. Twenty thousand
visitors were In the city, and ninety
per cent, of them were at the
groutids. Everything, was favorable to
a grunt day, and a great day it was
throughout. ' {'
SAVANNAH DAY. U
It was Savannah Day, and Savan-
Dahians were here to participate m It.
A number of Suvuuuahjs. prominent
olty officials, including thu city coun

the next two heats, lionwor, taking
the lead in both find moving In frout
of the field all the .way round, waiting
at the wire for Fleur de Lis to make
the fhtg. Time for -the heats, 2:271-4
and 2:49 1-4.
Camlet sold throughout a prime fa
vorite in the pool, and nothing was to
be had on him at reasonable figures.
The booklos showed good judgment,
for he m Uie gamest horse of his claaa
ever brought here.
THE 3-YEAR-OLD TROT.
The largest purse ever offered in tho
state for a 3-year-old trot~85<K>—
brought out only two starter#*. The en-
trka were King Fisher, MeElroy, Dr.
French, Magolett and Perl de Leon; but
the Doctor and Perl were left to light
It. out between them, the othem being
rcratohed. There was not much for
Dr, French to do, he taking the three
beat#, from Perl, although he good na-
turedly allowd the little mare to make
it an apparently close race and trot a
neck behind him each time. The time
was 2:27 1-4, 2:26 1-4, 2:301-4.
THE GREAT 2:20 TROT.
The event of the day, of course, was
tile 2:20 trot, n which Clack Raven
lowered the sta.'re record, and with
Merman put up three of the prettiest
hicats ever seen on a Southern track,
the race being left undecided when
postponed until today.
It, wis a magnificent field of fast
horses, and blood was up. It wan a
standoff between Ollie IC. mid Raven
for honors In the pool, the little W;ick
mare from Kalmuck, who lowered the
record to 2:19 flat on Monday, having
many, friends on the other side of the
fence with money to bet. Selling wats
D.llu IVill, !■ UUllU'vi, DWU6U,
ana abaut fifty uuiers of like promi
nence.
It was meet tihat the Savanhablans,-
who are born lovers of fast horses,
shook! be treated to the- greatest pro-
gra.i.nie of races over presented on' a
Southern track: They were, umazed at
the card presented, and they entered
&r
Into the spirit of the event with no lit
tle enthusiasm. Such races as were
presented yesterday may not impress
themselves upon the average man, but
they strike a Savannahlau where he
lives, and ho proceeds to pick the win
ners.
NO SNAPS FOR ANYBODY.
Some picked them and some did not,
und eveu those who speculated prof
itably couldn't bnt admit that they
had a close call.
•Record breaking Is not a feature of
every Southern track this year, but
Macon keeps it up right along, and
pretty soon tho bookmakers will hang
out a sign, "Record broken, or all bets
off."
Black Raven was the plucky little
ebony flyer who did It,yesterday, low
ering both the stute and track record
to 2:17 1-2. The state record of 2:201-4
was made on the Macon track in 1892,
and was lowered to 2:19 by QUIe K.
on Monday, only to be broken again
yesterday by. Black Raven. • The
plucky . black was In company with
OIHe yesterday, too, but the Kentucky
mare failed to show up.
It did Mucon people a lot of good to
see Col. U. H. Plant's Merman set the
pace with Raven In the groat 2:20 trot,
and the fact that Merman may li able
to take the 11,000 purse from Raven ot
i he conclusion of the race today causes
nil tho more Interest, and exeltemeuU
Merman had a heat to his credit, made
In 2:19 3-4, and was able to show a
2:10 gait on the bulf In tile third heat,
giving Raven each of his two heats by
only a nose. It was too late td finish
..the grout event yesterday, and only
-iliree heats were trotted. Blood Is up
between Merman and Raven, und tho
hottest race ever seen In Georgia will
be the conclusion -of this event today.
TUie grand stand was packed and
lammed with people to see .the races
yesterday, and never was a race course
crowd more enthusiastic. But It would
require hard frozen blood, indeed, Hot
to thaw out and beat fast over such
sport as was had yesterday.
NELLIE SEFORD A WINNER.

In prime condition, she sold favorite

fast and furious for a time, and tho
field 'found few takers against either
Ollte or Raven. Like the prophet who
Is not without horror save In his own
country,- Merman. Col. Boh Plant's fast
bay horse, did not seem to impress the
talent, and his performance was tile
surprise of the day to the majority of
them. While he was able to -take only
the first heat, tho pace he set through
out made It plain that he Is built of
great stuff and able :o hold his own

Atlanta, 0cfr31.—(Special.)—The sen
atorial campaign closed tonight with
MnJ. Bacon's election Jjract.cally a
foregono conclusion. Judge Turner's
speech, to the legislature tonight did
hot have any effcct.at till oh the solid
phalanx of tho Bacon men, and tomor
row afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, tylicu
the doors of the house of representa
tives close on tho Deinocmt'.o caucus,
they will Kne up one hundred strong,
with very probably 103 votes at Uiclr
command. 'There Is every reason to
bellevo that the vvork of 'tho caucus
will be done In very short order. Bacon
will bo nominated on tho first ballot.
If the other candidates would take the
advice of their working fvhffids they
would get out of the way before the
caucus meeis and make the nomina
tion by acclamation. They have not
tho ghost of a show against Maj. Ba
con as th6 situation appears at mid
night .tonight and tho graceful retire'
ment of all tnreo would only suvo
them the luorUUcudou of the defeat
that surely awaits them, within a few
hours.
