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 cil, eunic in yesterday morning In a body, and were met and entertained by the mayor and council of JIacon. Among the prominent people In the Ba- Vautiun party warp City Clerk IteB'dr- rer, E. la. Cheatham, superintendent of the Walth department; Aldermen Baldwin.

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. lu the 3-mlnute trot, for *400, which was the first race on the programme, throe out of tho five heats'Were taken simlgi.it by Nellie Soford In 2:27 1-2, yKi arid 2:311-4. Although not considered In prime condition, she sold favorite ngainst the field, with Archie pushing -mvucy co uen celling Wile 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 ‘“/•■st company. Raven got tho eec- and third heats of this event, and low s'?,?. ‘ ho stat ® record In the third to 2:171-2, but he had nothing to spare.

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. •id the enthusiasm is on the Bacon side, In fact the Turner aud ; Garrard men have apparently surrendered to an acute attack of tUc blues, though genial Fat AValsh aud Ills little baud of devoted outs still retains his se renity and good huiuur.

Tho restraint that has been kept upon them has-fired his friends, vv.tli an enthusiasm that will carry everything before it when- the battlo opens tomorrow.
