MANY VISITORS HERE.
Yesterday waa the first genuinely
big day the fair has known, and how
the people did flock to the grounds!
Prom the early opening to the late
closing Central City Park was thronged
and crowded with . more than four
thousand pleasure seekers, the major
ity of whom were out-of-town folks.
The visitors greatly outnumbered the
local people during the day, but at
night the latter were much In evi
dence. particularly on Happy Street,
the gayest and greatest of all mid
ways. .••••■*
It being the first sunny day since
the opening of the fair the various
shows did an enormous business, and
the exhibit buildings . were always
crowded, even to the closing hour. Art
Hall (the round building) and Agri
cultural Hall received the most pa
tronage, but • the' crpw.ds sought. Aut
every display. Tho -poultry and dog
show Is Jugt beginning to attract gen
eral attention, and It received a big
shire of the visitors. It Is generally
conceded that the' poultry exhibit Is
one of the best ever seen In Macon.
On. account of the high winds which
prevailed throughout the day. but
partly duo to the dampness of the ap
paratus. It was about 4:30 o’cl&ck be
fore Prof. Airily attempted a para
chute ascension. For several hoars
the Mb be* was with BM. and
when all was thought to he In reali
ties. the basket and parachute were
annexed, and the daring aeronaut pro.
pared tor a trip Into the air. How-
ever it waa found that the balloon
was not sufficiently inflated to carry
up any extra weight, and Just as the
rise was commenced the profepav na.l
to sever the ropes and separata the
basket from the hag. The balloon
sailed away, however, and finally' wi
to th© ground about five miles from
the grounds, on the banks of the Oc-
mulgea river. An ascension wll be
made this afternoon.

account of the circus, It will not be
possible to have any races, and the*

Mr. Bryan charged that thn United

predutorv wealth, and favor-seeking
corporations had controlled the ac

represent the people.
He asserted thnt Mr. Taft had not
attacked a single trust because, he
said, every trust magnate was sup
porting him, "And out of the funds
the republicans are preparing to buy
every vote that can ho bought."
