HE GREATEST AGRICULTURAL STATE FAIR
EVER KNOWN IS NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
/President J. J. Connors, of State Agricultural Society, Speaks in Glowing Terms
ot the County, Special and Individual Exhibits, and Urges all Farmers to
Attend—Races Prove to be Most Attractive Feature—Great Crowds Attend De
spite the Rain in the Afternoon—City is Filled With Visitors From all Parts
Today Will be “Military Day*1
Sham Battle in Afternoon
"Th# greatest agricultural fair I
have seen in years, and one about
■‘which too much can nob be said," en
thusiastically declared President J. J.
Connor, of the State Agricultural Sor
clety. “X wan to urge upon every
fanner of Georgia to come” to the fair
before it Is too late and see what has
been accomplished In farm work In
his own state and, probably. In his
own county. There are a greater
number of county, Individual and epo--
clal exhibits, and they are far better
prepared, than I a had ever dared to
hope. In every respeot the agricul
tural department exceeds what were
my most sanguine expectations. The
garden, farm, orchard, household, su
gar cane plantations, seed cultivation,
feedstuffs—rail are well and instruc-
. tlvely represented."
The success of the Georgia state
fair was assured yesterday when the
heads of the State Agricultural Society
saw for the first time Just what had
been accomplished, and with unani
mous accord expressed perfect satis
faction and .approval. They not only
praised their own department, which
embraces the exhibits of agriculture,
poultry, dogs, live stock, manufactures,
minerals and^art. but propounded the
midway the greatest ever organised in
the south; also agreeing upon the ex
cellence of the races and the arrange
ments threfor.
Agricultural Hall was naturally the
most visited of all the buildings yes
terday and even the downpour of rain
did not dampen the atdor of those
So numerous are the displays
that every Inch of space In the hall
Is taken and others have of a neces-
'sitv been put In other buildings.
Thera are eight big county agricul
tural exhibits of especial merit, to
which the attention of'patrons of the
\ .fair will be attracted. There are
other Individual and special displays
of equal excellence—the whole oom-
i prising the exhibit about which so
J many complimentary things have al-
I toady been said.

It la the first evar prepared by

The Opening Day.
The Georgia State Fair, the greatest
agricultural fair the state hfts ever known
and aleo the best as regards % wonderful-
lr attractive midway and splendid raw.
opened to the public yesterday. With
fair aides overhead and many clamoring
at the gates for admittance, the sale of
tickets began early tn the morning, and
In a few hours all parts of the groinide
were filled with eager, curious, delighted
people, who on every hand saw some
thing new and more interesting. Tt was
the most genuinely-nteased concourse of
sightseers Central City Park ever held.
Large Crowds Came.
Shortly before noon the crowds .began
to come In earnest. Every par-end there
waa almost one to the minute—brought
scores of men. women and children, end
there Is no doubt but thet the KJtSj*
ance would have been record-breaking
for an opening day had not rain fell
In the afternoon. About 1 oejock a
•light drlxsle began, but it »won became
a downpour, that did not cease with the
coming of night. This, jjf coufse. sent
the crowds scurrying to Shelter, •{•■J Jot
a while en of Ibe big exhibit buildings
were taxed to their utmost capacity to
accommodate the crowd*, while the hun
dred* of various dlsMays and booths
received more attention and study then
ordinarily would have ben their share.
There were many, however, who mani
fested the utmost dtsreeard fer the rain,
and flocked to Hspov Street, to* longest,
largest, cleanest and best midway m
every respect that the south has wjen
since the Jamestown exnosttloa- The

Races Were Popular.
Decidedly the feature of the afternoon
were the races. The entire mile., track
WAS surrounded with enthused specta
tors, while many hundred* occupied the
big grandstand. The races were the
roost exciting ever seen (n Maccu and
were run cleanly and on scheduled time.
In two Instances records were broken,
thus attesting the excellence of-thv track
and the ability of the horsea that have
been brought here. There la no. doubt
but what the races will prove the most
popular feature of the fair before the
end of the week.
President Ben L. Jones and other offi
cials of the fair were"-hugely, delighted
with the succeaa of opening day—known
a* “Macon Day." ‘ Even with' the rain,
the attendance waa reasonably large,
but the moat pleasing fact was that all
displays, the midway and practically ev
ery department, was In absolute readi
ness. and there were no hitches of any
kind. The officers of the State Agricul
tural Society, who assumed charge of
the exhibits early yesterday- morning,
were exceedingly well pleased, and de
clared that. In their opinion, it was the
5 greatest agricultural display In the hla-
brv of’the state.
Every hotel In the city Is filled to the
roof with guests, but still manage to re
ceive others. Visitors are now seeking
the boarding houses and even they are
crowded. Not only are the people com
ing from this immediate section of the
stats, but from the extreme parts end
from all counties.
Fourth race—Malvina.
The races of the first day of the
great track meet, which Is one of the
big features of the state fair, were a
decided success yesterday, although the
last two were run In the rain ajid on a
heavy field. Two track records were
broken and fast time was. made In the
other races, despite the slow going. As
scheduled, th© races were started pro-

clared. after each race, certified checkk
were given td the various managers.
There was a considerable crowd In the
grandstand, but hundred* of othera lined
themselves around the course and
watched the races. As each one was
oTam uncertain and nlmost sensational.
