i “It's just grand. I'm so proud of*
our people fcr ' putting on such u

"Ifo a credit to Cabarrus county,
and for that matter to tlie State.”
•‘Mui'a better than I expected: in
fact better than I though we could
put on.”
* “A fajr to be proud of. The of
ficials forgot nothing.”
That's the kind of expressions the
Third Annual Cabarrus County Fair
has brought forth, ami the fair merits
them all. It's by far the most pre
tentious undertaking of t'oe fair of
ficials and it' bids fair to excell in
every way the other two fairs, that
put this county on the fair mat).
The "bark" of the sideshow man,
the roar of the caged lion and the
shrill pleadings of the vender told the
world the fair was opened Tuesday
and between 15,000 and 20.000 per
sons crowded into toe grounds to add
their bit to thp job of making the op
ening day attendance- the biggest on
-record for Cabarrus comity.
Overtiariging clouds in the after
noon failed to materialise as a threat
arid apparently no one remained at
• home for fear of getting wet. From
noon until time soy the free nets..mid
fireworks at might a conti naouo stream
. of jjftwanityjuuwed throughAbe.lsiw,
r.ia erowd being handled in thWb®*
cient manner that is characteristic of
every detail of fairs hers.
There were *no formal reremonieß
for the opening and by 10 o'clock sev
eral thousand .persons bad passed Uito
the grounds. By’ ijoon the total had
been swelled to ten thousand and when
the free aeisgitarted at 1:15 fully 15,-
000 persons were on the. inside of
the grounds.
Toe raqe.s were, witnessed by be
tween 0,000 and 7.000 persons. How
ever, the feat cf me horses and the
attractions offered as free acts faijed
to draw- more than half th4 visitors
from the exhibit buildings and the
midway. The various shows kept up
performances throughout .the after
noon and ftey found many patrons
even when the races were iu prog
ress.
Dr. T. X. Speneer, secretary of the
fair association, stated Tuesday night
that the fata promises to be such a
success thap he hopes the business
houses of tl(e city will close Thursday
afternoon so' the employees . Will 'have
opportunity to visit the grounds long
enough to see the races, the” free acts
aud the splendid shows on the mid
way.-
Joseph F. Cannon, president of the
Fair Association, was delighted with
the fine attendance on opening day.
Mr. Cannon has played a major part
in the success of tCie local fairs and
he stated that it wap very gratifying
to see the people co-operating in snch
a manner as to lead him and the other
officials to believe all attendance rec
ords will be broken (taring the week.
two races were offered as the open
ing attraction of the race program,
the 2:19 trot and tbe'2:22 pace, Four
liotses were entered in each event and
they proved of almost equal merit.
Faster races Will be offered on other
days, some of the feature events on
the track to be offered Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday.
The free acts were a revelation even
to seasoned fairgoers, and there .wasn’t
a dull minute, during their presenta
tion. The company offering the acts
has such a variety of entertainment
that the program was changed in the
evening, and this practice will be fol
lowed throughout the week: Trained

President Cannon and Secretary '
Spencer Pleased With the Fair
President Joseph F. Cannon, of the
* Cabarrus Fair Association, in a state
ment to a representative of The Daily
Tribune nnd the Concord Times, ex
■ pres-ed delight With the fair nnd also
. jtleasurc that *i many persons of the
county co-operated the officials
i in oinking opening day of the fair such
a groat success.
"I am gratified at the splendid at
tendance on opening day,” President
Cannon stnted,” and nm more eon
i vineed than ever that this fair will be
the best we have held hero. Officials
of the association refused to consider
1 expenr-es and labor when making plans
} for the week am} we are certain onr
[efforts will receive such oA-operatiop
as will (convince ns tjmt we were right
in providing for Cabarrus people the
best fair obtainable.”
" Dr. Ti N. Speneer, secretary of the
1 fair association, predicted Tuesday
night that the opening day crowd
, would talk so favorably of the fair
that tliotisands of other persons will
1 visit,the grounds before the week is
I over. He also expressed the hope
that business houses of the city will
■ dose tomorrow afternoon so employes
can spend the entire nftemoon at the
‘ grounds.

' loop are a few of the free riels. The
, complete lists of free acts, offering
, each afternoon and evening, follows:
The Dutton Equestrians—Six peo-
I pie, four horses.
Misti Nellie Jordan & 00., dancing
: and wire walking.
Barney Boogie and Spark Plug

Old Fashioned Country Dance.
I The JPayentoes. High Ladder Act.
. Fishet 'apd Co., wonderful bicycle
acts.
Tice’s trained dogs.
Hopkins’ animal circus.
‘ The most spectacular feature of the
opening day, and the most dazzling,
was the fireworks. A light rain be
gan falling just before the pyroteeh
nieal display 'was started and the pro
gram was hurried for' this reason.
' However, even the rain and hurried
program could not detract from the
brilliance of the display. Nothing
like ft has been seen here, but of
ficials of the fair assure the public
that the program on the opening night
was just a taste of what is to come.
Events of historical interest are to
be shown in the displays and it js
planned to increase the size and bril
liance of the program each night until
the climax is reached the last of the
week.
Persons witnessing tne fireworks
made no attempt to conceal their
wonder and admiration. Oasps of sur
, sprise mingled with expressions of
commendation as fiery stars burst up
on many-hued rocket and two mans
of war bombarded' one another with
all the realism of actual combat. If
there was any one feature of opening
day that stood out on a program tilled
with unusual attractions, it was the
fireworks.
More than twenty Shows are of
fered on the midway in addition to
a number of rides that caught the
fancy of the fairgoers. The shows
include the inevitable fat lady and
Dixie minstrel, but there are untls
' ual features such as the motordome,
the monkey race, the ossified man
and the crossword puzzle.
Persons who infos this fair will
i miss the best ever offered in this
: section of the state.

Washington, Oft. 14.—W 5 ) —Ron
II Admiral Wm. S. Sims, retired. IT. S
N., told the President's air board to
l j day that *‘it is well known” that th
Navy has no ‘‘definite air policy” am
'* that naval air development is hamper
' ed by “a kind of conservatism so ex
traordinary it is almost unbelievable.'
! Present dissatisfaction and unres
:t ‘ in the Navy, he said, is due “to a lacl
of confidence" in naval leaders, am
J he pointed to the Shenandoah disnste
as “a ease in point.”
P “It may be presumed” he addei
'. “that the commander of the Shenan
doah and his assistants were the bes
” men the Navy had, but‘if they wer
I not, it would have been a criminal ac
to put them there.”
The admiral believed that to at
tempt to manage “an affair" like th
Shenandoah from the navy depart
y ment was an example of violation o
“the age old principle that is do
stroying the navy’s morale,” and \va
.. “unreasonable, unscientific and un
;s military.”
)1 “Why is it allowed to continue?'
s lie asked, and added. “It is becaus
II the American people do not feel th
i- pressure of war.”
it “The Navy speaks,” he continued
it “of a well balanced fleet,” but tha
-- phrase “has no definite meaning” an
e like all similar phrases “it is danger
t OUN.’”
“Our disasters in the air,” Sim
d said, "have brought down upon th
o navy considerable public criticism
e Some of the Criticism has bfen ut
[- just due to a misunderstanding of th
it navy’s obligatory attitude in respec
l- to safety.”
it The admiral declared the organizi
d tion with its general staff was “vast
d ly superior” to that of the navy, an
should be adopted by the latter.
He expressed the highest praise fc
t. “young aviators” but opposed the di
h sire for a unified, air service or sept
rate air corps.
“The navy,” he said, “should d'
velop a definite air policy. The me
t. who command a fleet air force in wt
y operations should be thoroughly edi
ie cated in the ways of the navy.”
». Asked if he agreed with Colon
n Mitchell’s plan for department of ni
a tional defense, Sims said he did not.
k “Mitchell is a bully good fellow
he said, “and deserves a lot of prais
He has done lota of good, particular!
