The Hay Day Fair and Elks’ Carnival
opened this morning? with everything
but the weather propitious for its sac
ness.
Lest night the clouds which began
oolleoting over the oity yesterdny after
noon] sent down their rains, [and a
mean, drizzly morning ushered in Al
bany’s great (all show. The rain,
whioh continued nutil about 0 o’clock
this morning, interfered to some ex
tent with the preparations for the open
ing of tho shows, and only a few of
tl era were re tdy to open at lOjo’clook.
Bat by 11:80 most all of tho Bhows wore
open and doing a good business.
At 10 o’olook tho Fourth Regiment
Band gave a concert from the band
stand on top ot the country store, and
shortly after the Qreat Sidonla gave
his interesting slack wire aot, which
was watched by a great orowd of en
thusiastic spectators.
At 2 o'olook Daredevil Kilpatrick
made his thrilling ride ap the 150 foot
inoline and down again. This thrilling

The shows whioh opened yesteruny
havo all been going today, and some
that were a little late in getting started
are now taking in dimes and quarters
right along. The Bhowmen say that,
despite the weather conditions, they are
doing better bnsiuess here than was
done At any of the street fairs they have
visited in other Southern olties,
The publio is beginning to appreciate
the big poultry show at the Auditorium,
aud tho crowds that visit there are in
creasing. Tho oliickens, turkeys, Bel
gian hums aud other pet stock is at
tracting a great deal ot attention, aud
some fine scores are being made by
many of the'entries.
On account of the Inolcmenoy of the
weather, there were very few agrionl-
tural exhibits plaoed on tho streets yos-
terda •*. Farmers with flue specimens
of their hay crops did not care to run
the risk of having them ruined by rain,
and therefore waited till today to pat
their displays on those portions of Broad
aud Washington streets that had been
roserved for drain.
It must be admitted that t agricul
tural display is disappointi .g. What
there is of it is all right, and is highly
oreditable to the farmers who are mak
ing exhibits, but the nambor is limited.
The spaces reserved for farm exhibits
are not filled, there still being many
vaoauoies. Howover, the furmsare suf
ficiently well represented to keep the
crowd reminded that we are having an
agricultural fair in connection with the
oarnival, and that the original objeot of
the fair association is not being forgot
ten.
The judges will make np their ver
dicts this afternoon, and the names of
nrize takers will be published in tomor
row’s Herald. The names of the
judges for the agricultural exhibits have
not been made publio.
aot was witnessed by a large orowd of
spectators.
Every train coming into the olty to
day was orowded, and a better-humor
ed, livelier oarnival crowd than has
crowded Albany’s streets today was
never oongiegated. Confetti battles
, are on at every orossing, and the air is
alive with the noise of popping torpe
does, canes, horns, balloon whistles
and all those noise-making novelties
that are indispensable for a carnival.
The weather predictions are for fair
weather tomorrow, and it is probable
that the orowds will be much larger,
and the fun much faster and more futi-
ous if old Sol will only come out and
smile on the merry occasion.
Everybody is well pleased with tc-
'• day's opening -which is considered as
■ most 'encouraging, in view of the ex
ceedingly inclement weather. The
Crowds that are in the city today will go
Away well pleased and they will come
again-or send many others to enjoy a
day or two at Albany’s great carnival.

The s.-conrl day of the Hay Day Fair
and Elks’ Oaruivai lias Been in most
respects a repetition of tho first. The
weather as been clonrty, bnt not show
ery os on the opening toy, and the
crowd is no doubt smaller by several
thousand than would be the case had
there been plenty of sunshine.
Still, the attendance from neighbor
ing towns has been gratifyingly large,
Incoming trains have bronght their
hundreds, and the throng on the streets
- has been as large as was yesterday’i
larger, according to the estimates of
many. The shows have been doing good
business, and there is no complaint
from the soores of vendors of canes,
confetti and novelties. The crowd is
good natured and liberal. Home-folks
and visiters part with their nickels,
dimes t.nd quartuts freely, and "there
GBEAT IS THE CROWD;
GREAT THE CARNIVAL
Streets Continue to be Thronged,
and All Things Are Exactly
as We Would Have Thera.
More About the Splendid Pa'
rade of Yesterday Afternoon.
THE COLT SHO V.
There is a fine collection of Georgia
raised colts in the oity today, entered
for the prizes offered in connection with
the agricultural exhibits. Some of these
colts are from stables in Albany, bnt
most of them come from farms in
Dougherty aud other counties in this
immediate seotiou. The showing they
make is an unexpectedly creditable one,
as all the oolta exhibited are beauties,
Tho colts were congregated on Pine
street, east of Washington, wlraro their
good points were gone over by hundreds
of admirers of horseflesh, and the board
of judges. The finding of the latter
will be published in tomorrow's Her
ald.
THE FLORAL PARADE.
The floral parade, postponed from yes
terdny on account of weather conditions,
took place today. It moved from the
meotiug p int, Jefferson street be
tween Pine and Broad streets,
at 12 -15 o’clock, having been
unavoidably delayed three qnnrters of
an hour. It moved over the appointed
course: twice from Jefferson to Bioad,
Broad to Washington, Washington to
Pino, Pine to Jeffereon, and a dense
throng of people lined the sides of the
streets along the entire way. Many of the
floats and decorated vehicle wero sur
prisingly beautiful. Soveral were from
farms in this section, and none were
more admired than these.
On nccnant of the lateness of the
parade, wo arc unable'to give in today’s
issue a description of all tho vehicles
participating. This will appear in full
tomorrw. together with the awards de
cided upon by the judges.
The parade was witnessed by a great
throng of people, and was a decided
sucooss.
THE PRIZE WINNING FLOATS,
Bofore going to press, the Herald
was apprised of the finding of the judges
on floats and decorated vehicles.
The first prize of $25 was awarded to
the Daughters of the Confederacy, and
the second prize, 815, to Miss Jolla
Bacon.
From Thursday's Daily Herald.
The third day of the oarnival Is as
great aB either of tlra first two. The
weather has been perfeot, and the
orowds larger. Every show has been
liberally patroufzod, and all the itener
ant traders have roaped a harvest of
dimes and nlckles In exchange for the
scores of little novelties whioh people
bay during street falls, and at no other
time.
Last night the streets wero thronged,
and it was a good natnrea bnt busy
crowd that filled Broad, Washington,
Fine and Jaoksou. The noise of the
cnrnivul was in the air. Spielers Bpleled
through their enormons magaphones,
bauds playod incessantly, tin horns
sounded and tlra reperts of explosive
noise makers were heard everywhere,
while the discordant nolsas of a hun
dred other instruments greeted the ear.
Everybody had a hand in the fan,
and everybody enjoyed It. The show-
mon's faces were wreathed In smiles,
for not sluoe coming into the southeast
had they received snoh liberal patron
age. Confetti filled the air. The little
paper particles flew into open monthB
inoessuntly, bnt nobody complained and
everybody langhed.
Today the orowds have been all that
Ounld be desired, and everything has
moved smoothly. Everything is going
in full blast, and showmen say they
would like to remain in Albany a month.
/
yesterday’s parade.
On account of the delay in starting
the parade yesterday afternoon, the
Herald was unable to give as complete
an acoonnt of that feature of the second
day of the oarnival as we would have
presented under other circumstances.
A more detailed report of that splendid
pageant was promised today.
Ae was announced in yesterday's Her
ald, the first prize of $25 whs awarded
to Dougherty oounty ohaptor Daughters
ofjthe Confederacy, and the seoond prize
of $15;to Miss Jnlia Bacon.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
float was a beantifnl creation in white.
It was a faithfnl representation of the
Winnie Davis monument in Richmond,
Mrs. H. A. Tarver representing the
figure on. tho central pedestal. Tho
other figures were represented by Mrs.
Jno. J. Armstrong, Misses Myra Hils-
man, Pearl Forrester and Dollio Mayo.
The design of the monument was faith
fully carried out, and the float called
forth loud applause from time to time
as it passed through the streets.
Tho float on whioh Queen Agnes I
appearod with her maids and pages was
a magnificent affair. Arches rose from
either corner and spanned the platfrom
irom end to end, meeting directly over
the center. The whole was draped
with rare taste in pnre white, and in
the conter sat the qneen on an nnosten-
tious throne, slightly elevated. Her
maids of honor, Misses Estelle Ventnlette,
Ella Rnst Vason, Annie Hobbs and
Mary deConroey Hobbs, wore seated at
the corners of the float, facing the
qneen, whoso pages, Master Kenneth
Hodges aud Randolph Whitehead, sat
together at her Majesty’s feet.
Tlfe queen’s outriders were Messrs.
H. J. Decker, Jr., Carl Weston, I. H.
Weiss and I. J. Hofmayer.
The costumes worn by the qneen and
her maids of honor were beantifnl, bnt
we have space here to describe only that
worn by her Majesty. It was of finest
white Lonislne satin, with fnll court
train. The collar was bound with rose
point lace, and the bodice was beauti
fully trimmed in the same lace tnd seed
pearls. The waist.was enoiroled bya
jeweled girdle, and the front width
|of this regal, gown was elaborately
embroidered with seed pearls, Aronnd
the bottom of tho skirt was a fall raobe
of white monssellne, dotted with white
velvet roses. On her head rested the
superb diamond crown of the B. P. Oi
Elks.
The scepter of white Batin with peal
handle was capped wi(h an elk’s
head set with jewels, while tho satin
bow near its middle was held in plaoo
by two handsome jeweled oabaohons,
Altogether, tlra oostnme was a beantifnl
oouoelt, and Qneen Agnes never looked
lovelier than on this ansploioas oooaslon.
And no qneen was ever greeted by
more graolous to more loyal Bnbjeots.
Miss Bacon drove a pair of beantifnl
white horses to a snrrey (without can
opy) whioh was almost hidden by
beautiful crimson poppies. The harness
and trappings were white, and the gen
eral effeot was oharming. Unbounded
admiration for this trap was expressed
all along tho line of maroh. With Miss
Bacon rode her sister, Mrs. Edwin Shef
field, of Amerions, Miss Shropshire, of
Atlanta, and Miss Daniel, of Macon.
Mrs. Morris Weslosky’s trap was
ploked for a winner by many. It was em
bowered in forget-me-nots of a delicate
shad? of bine, and was draped with rare
taste. With Mrs. Woslosky rode Miss
Freddie Farkus, Mrs. James Hoggard
and Miss Josie Beall Jones.
Another beantifnl tnrnont was that
over which wisteria was spread in pro
fusion. The genoral effeot of this trap
was exoellent, the pnrple embowered
vehicle being drawn by a pair of spir
ited black horses. The young ladies in
this turnout were the Misses Joseph, of
Columbus, Miss Williams, of Macon, and
Miss Sheppard, of Oolnmbns
The Crystal Maze trap was a oharm
ing design in white and pnrple—a
pretty little lady in a pretty little trap
drawn by a pair of pretty little ponies—
in all, a pretty telling rig.
Mr. W. E. Smith and Miss Abble
Davis rode In a locomobile profusely
decorated In yellow. This came In for
a good share of the applanse.
Of the agricultural floats, those from
the farms of Messrs. John W. Forrester
and A P. Vason were most elaborate
aud attraoted most of the attention be
stowed upon vehloles of this class. On
both ot these floats, all the prodnota of
the farms from whioh they came were
represented, and the variety exhibited
was traly astonishing, even to those who
live in tills seotion and know some
thing of the wonders of our diversi
fied agrioultnre. The Herald heard
one well known citizen of Mitchell
county remark that If one of those floats
coaid be pat on exhibition in Madison
Square Garden, New York, just as it
passed through tl(o streets of Albany, it
would bring 10,000 farmers to sonth-
west Georgia ill six months. Mr. For
rester's display of farm prodnots was
made on a float, and he was awarded
the prizo of $100 for the best display of
agricultural products from one furm.
Thoro wero attractive floa’s also from
the farms of Messrs. J. M. Tift und T.
M. Tioknor.
Mr. Vason’s farm float was truly a
thing of boanty, and was greeted with
applause wherever it appeared. Excel
lent taste was displayed in its arrange
ment, bat tho variety of prodnots it dis
played was oot as great as that on the
Forrester float.
“The King’s Automobile” kept tho
crowd roaring nlong the entire course of
the parade. It had in lvi seen to be ap
preciated. B. F. Smith s bicycle parade
was a very creditable feature.
Albany lodge, No. 713, B. P. O. Elks,
followed immediately after the band.
The Elks all carried parasols and wore
capBand sashes of white and pnrple,
the colors of the order. All along the
route they fired confetti bombs and
threw serpentines into the crowd, and
added a great deal to the success of the
parade.

From Wednesday’s Herald.
Prof. W. R. Muok, who made the bal
loon asoenslon and paraclrato leap yes
terday afternoon at 4 o'olook was the
victim of a painful oooldent.
At 4 o'olock in tho afternoon the great
inflated balloou was released from its
moorings on tho old jail lot, and It rose
rapidly to a great height, the murky
condition of tho atmosphero rendering
it difllonlt to see as It soured southward.
When the balloon carrying Prof. Mack
in his paraohnto below It had risen sev
eral thousand foot above tho earth, Prof.
Maok oat loose and started on his para-
ohute leap to tho ground. The para-
olinte shot down llko a flash for sovernl
hundred feet, and tbon openod and
sailed moro slowly on its downward
coarse.
As the paraohnto neared the ground,
Prof. Maok saw that he was about to
land on a pioket fonoe in a yard in the
southern part of tho oity. He began
rooking his paraohnto to ohango its
oonrse bo as to avoid striking the fenoe.
He missed the fenoe, bnt fell against a
wire olothea line whioh had escaped his
notice, and whioh oansed him to fall
with snoh foroe to the ground that his
ankle waa broken.
The broken member was dressed by
Dr. A. H, Hilsmau, and the injured
man it resting as well as conld be ex
pected today.
Brof. Maok’e unfortunate aooldent
will qot interfere at all with the balloon
asoensions daring the remainder ot tho
week, there being 6 balloonists in the
Cloud Flying Balloon Company whioh
is here to give these asoensions. This
afternoon two parachute leaps will be
made from the same balloon, toa.irrow
three and the next day four.
