Under tho personal direction of President Bon I. Jones, who took charge where Manager Huff was forced to leave ofT, the work of preparation rap idly progressed to completion yesterday. * Every avhllablo Inch of space within the grounds has been disposed of, and on every hand tents and stands have sprung, mushroom-llke. Into existence. From the nrched en* trance of Happy fltreet to the forthermost end of this brilliantly lighted midway there are shows and shows, and then some morc««hows..When the thoroughfare was lighted late yesterday afternoon, as soon as dusk had fallen, even the veteran showmen gasped In astonishment. “The prettiest, largest and best midway tho south will have ever seen,” was their unanl- nvd" verdict. From one end of the street to the other swing myriads of various colored electric globes, more than four thousand, to be exact. It Is a most beautiful display of electrla Illumination and a treat In Itself. Sawdust-Covsred Streets. So thorough have been the preparation, for the opening that even at tention to the convenience of prospective patrons of the fair has besn be stowed In many places and ways. For one thing, and It la almost an Inno vation, sawdust has been liberally sprinkled from the park entrance to the midway and all up and down Happy Street. This Insures a partially dust- free park President Jones was determined that tho ladles should be ablo to visit the park and go away with clean dresses. Police .On the Grounds. Chief Westcott has arranged for a painstaking patrol of tho grounds. A sub-statlon In charge of Officer Smallwood has been established near the midway and at least fifteen pollccmen.-bcsldes numerous plain clothes men, will always bo on the grounds. There will also be a special detachment at both the race track and the midway. So far there has only baert one disturbance at the park. It occurred yesterday and resulted In the arrest bf one of the employes of a visiting stableman. Tho man was cursing and creating general disorder. When arrested, ho was found to havo concealed weapons, and. therefore., a Second charge was lodged against lilm. The fair association officials are determined that only tho very best of order shall prevail and In enforcing good conduct thev will receive the hearty and thorough co-operatfon of both the county and city police, Esneelal effort will be made to suppress and detect the usual crowd of plckpocketi and "crooks” that flock to all big fairs and all suspected persons, those that can not give a good account of themselves, will receive Immediate Incarceration In Jail. Balloon Ascension. Beginning Wednesday, one of the leading free featurts of the fair will begin. This Is thb balloon ascension nnd parachute Jump. It was found Impossible to get the big bag In readiness for the opening today, but tho aeronaut has a contract to give an exhibition on all other days or the fair. In this connection, President Ben to Jones yesterday announced his Inten tion Of "going up" In the balloon. "If the fair does not prove a success,’ be says. "I am going to Jump: otherwise I’ll use a parachute.” has decided to make this ascension 0 n tho afternoon of Brown- Day. It Is about decided that Ty Cobb and Nap Rucker will take part In two ball gamed on Monday artd Tueaday of next week. Cobb wan In com munication with President Jones throughout -esterday and terms have practfbally been reached. The great Georgian wants to come, as it will be his first appearance In a South Atlantic diamond, excepting the spring training work, since he became a big leaguer. As for Nap Rucker, ha ar rives m the city today In his new automobile and will remain throughout Crowds-Already Arrlvt. And the crowds. Even yesterday It was seen to Just what extent the people of *nll sections of th* state ar* enthused over the Macon fair. Every train brought hundreds and before night all of the hotels and boarding houses were well filled up. while tha streets plainly showed, the great In flux of visitors. It Is evident that the attendance will be the largest In the history of fairs In Macon. Every official of the association m happy over the prospect, and Is ab solutely confident that.this will be the greatest state fair In every respect ever held in Georgia. And they, As well os thousands of others, anxiously await the coming of today, when the big* enterprise will actually open. DEMOCRACY’S HOPES IN N.
