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.

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 shows Vent open, th* enlelets *p|e»jd. and a faMv good business was tb» re sult. Despite the rain, score* continued to arrive at the cork, but not tn the. nvmberv that would have been the ease bit? for the rain. At* hall was kept oneo £-.'l a v<r-»»d It •** crowded until e»«mir* -dth th«-t Wt-O •*. frier art *-*tdiea and women’s Md chil dren’s work. 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- . |?.-lv r.n th* mlr.utv, *:ni i. . t ed In such a manner that not a protest clsely on the |d *-» such •>_ ——- - made, an unusual thing for track. As soon as the winners were de 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. as very fast there was much sm on all parts of the grftunds.
