It was thought by a few that the rain would have a de pressing effect upon the attendance. but such was not the case. There Is no doubt, however, but that the crowd would have been double In size If clear weather had prevailed. Even as the rain fell and pools of water and mud puddles formed, the work of scattering sawdust over the grounds continued. By noon today almost every walk will have been covered and the mud will not be noticeable. The rain prevented both the races and the balloon ascension, but each will be greatly In evidence today. An exceedingly attractive racing program has been announced, and the aeronaut will make two parachute Jumps In stead of one, both In the afternoon. The midway—or that part which kept open—did a thriving business, drawing large patronage from many visiting militiamen. The fact that the atAte fair has the best midway ever organized In the south has become known miles from Macon and many are coming here especially to "take In" the attractions. The prospect of fair weather for the remainder of the fair will suffice to continue the crowds that are pouring in from the towns in this section of !he state. Today’s Races. The racing- program was omitted yesterday on account of the muddy ttack. but ell of the scheduled events will be run today, even If It rains. And as there will not be any races tomor- surprlalrtg to note what a variety'of objects are represented In the paper rpw, because .of the* circus, the roan* , /oldlpg, paper cutting arid Card-board agerrjf.nt has tnade today’s program construction.

The feature of the afternoon was. of course, the military exhibit, which consisted of a very realistic sham-bat tle and a series of drills. When the hour for the exhibition arrived hundreds were lined around the race course, and every place of ad vantage from where the maneuvers could be seen was crowded. TDurlng the time that the exhibition was In progress all other parts of the grounds were almost entirely forsaken. It was generally agreed that'tlio ex hibition was the most Imooslng mili tary display Macon his seen since the assemblage of the regular troops here during the Spantsh-Amerlcan war. More than the ordinary amount of in terest centered In It because of the fact that all participating companies were either members of the Second regiment or were well known locally. At 3:30 o'clock a division was made of the troops and that designated as the Browns was marched to the far thermoat end of the race track, while the Bluea remained at the south end. Then followed a realistic reproduction of a battle between two arm lea, every thing fiom skirmish and picket work, to the actual charge and attack with bayonets being shown. Many thou sands of blank cartridges were dls charged and for a while the rosr was well-nigh deafening. Great Interest was taken In the operation of the Gat ling gun. the handling of which was one of the features of the sham bat tle. and on every slde there waa^cn* thuataam evinced as the battle pro gressed.

Each school responded en-L thusisatlcally to the i-Iea nf getting up an exhibit that would reflect credit upon tho Bibb system, tho variety of contributions covering a wide range,! and the excellence of the work reflect-1 lng much credit upon the directors as well as upon the teachers, whose earn est co-operation has made possible the splendid success achieved In the dew partment of Industrial art. I The display represents work done during the year, and the fine effect of the artistic arrangement upon the I walls of Art Hall la surprising. Aside from the many other attractions ati the fair. It is worth one’a while to visit the grounds to see Bibb's school i exhibit. The Interest of the. publlo Is attested by the constant stream of people that pass before the display i and ask questions about various ob-J Jects which attract their attention. | The color work show’s that the chill dren have been trained to study amH observe nature. Their skill In devel oping tints and shades is remarkable. In the several grades there Is freed hand representation of objects from] nature—leaves, fruits, flowers, land! scapes and sky effects. Much skill 1$ shown In the object drawing—l sphere, hemisphere, cube and compari son with familiar objects In nature; I pose drawings in pencil, ink and col or, Including drawings of figures in action. Thera Is no feature of this depart-1 ment more Interesting than decoration. Including border designs, surface cov erings, rosettes, plant and animal forms, and geometric figures. It ls| At all exhibitions of school work the booklets of the Macon school have at tracted much attention and Interest Artistically ornamented covers enclose specimens of written work that Indi cate' the excellence of the work done In the various subjects taught In the grades from the first year through the high school. These booklets are an Incentive both to teachers and pupils and their educative value can not be over-estimated. Tho display of work done in the departments of domestic sclenco and shop work is a revelation of what may be accomplished In the secondary school. Various garments made by tho girls themselves are evi dence of their skill In needle work. Exhibited In show cases aro speci mens of excellent cooking, including both plain and fancy dishes. The display of wood work by the boya Includes all the different kinds of Joints, taborette, Morris chairs, and other articles of useful furniture that would reflect credit upon a skilled workman. In Art Hall there are also other ex hibits of interest, the one occupying the center space being one of the very best. It Is that of the F. 4. Guttenberger music stpre. Mr. Bon C. Duncan sings several songs at this exhibit each day. Other displays are those made by the White Elk Spring Water Company. Thurston Hatcher, photographer; McCaw Manufacturing Company, art display of W. I#. Wil liams, floral display of C. N. Wood ruff. and others.

CURTIS DECLARES HE TRIED TO CURB MORSE NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—The apparent determination of Alfred H. Curtis to ex onerate himself of all Marne respecting the banking transactions for which ho and Chas. W. Morse are now undergoing trial In th* United States district court here, became more defined today when, under the prompting of nil attorney, Mr. Curtis produced a letter written by blm under date of June 18, 1197, and addressed to Morse, in which he pretested vigorously against the continuation of practices In augurated by the latter, which, In Curtis' opinion, constituted a grave menace to the eUblllty of the Bank or North The Incident of the overdraft of $210,000 by Moree woe made the subject of search ing questioning by the witness’ attorney.
