THli FAIR.
GREATEST THURSDAY
IN ITS HISTORY.
THE
The Attendance Estimated at
Twenty-Two Thousand.
Today was the climax of the great
est fair ' ever held. People poured
into the city from all directions.
They came from the country, from vil
lages, towns and cities, in special
trains, in every conceivable sort of ve
hicles and numLers, 'pedibus."
By twelve o'clock there were fully
twenty thousand people on the
grounds, and at two o'clock they
were still pouring in. There have
been many "Thursday's," but today
eclipsed any fair day ever known
before iu the state; and the immense
crowd found plenty to interest and
amuse it.
The main building as p.'icked al
most to suffocation with a mass of
sightseers and the mid sy well, the-
fakirs wore a uniform grin, never
before had tbey stru k su h a bonanza.
The air resouuded with the blare of
nam -rless I rax and side show i finds
and the cries of the proprietors. '1 hey
caught many a dime and fooled many
a co nn try in ii n, but none ared; it was a
good tistired, merry, careless crowd
and everyone had some money to
spend.
Tiiere are many new features at the
fair, inhibitors, even at this late
day, are not through putting in their
xhibits. "It ought to lasc a month,'
one man was heard to remark today.
"Why, a fellow can't begin to see, all
he wants to in a week." It would
be hard to say what exhibit or depart
ment of the fair receives the most at
tention ; it is all good, even the side
shows. The cattle exhibit, as stated
before, is the best eer seen in the
south and the people were given a
better chance to view it today by a
parade on the tr.Tck. The horses, too,
are, by far, the best bred and fastest
lot ever gotten together in the state,
and numbers of lovers of horse ilei-b.
are continually pausing around among
the motley mixture of jockeys, sulkies
and bull-dogs at the stalls to admire
their favorite animals.
The races attract' a great deal of at
tention and arouse lots of enthusiasm,
and justly so, for more honest, good,
straightforward racing has ever been
seen anywhere.
But the balloon ascension ; this, the
most popular of all things to the un
sophisticated mats must "not pass by
unmentioned.Moreinterest attaches
to the balloon by the mass of people
than any thing that could be furnish
ed for its amusement.. As soon as the
ilrst preparations begin to be made
for the ascension the news seems to
spread like wildfire and, although
every one knows that it will be hours
before the " jigger goes up," hun
dreds of people sAarm into the race
track inclosure and watch the inflation
of the great bag with open mouths.
They help the balloon men to hold
down the "critter" and patiently wait
for hours to see it go up. When it
does get off the sight the crowd pre
sents reminds one forcibly of a chiken
drinking water. When the man and
his dog, after going up to a great
height, finally cut loose and begin to
slowly and gracefully descend a great
shout goes up and the people begin
to leave the grounds showing that to
them the balloon ascension is the
climax of the day's, attractions. There
is some th ill g very "catching" in an
ascension as there is in everything in
which there is a spice of danger.
It is really a thrilling sight, and
the people show by their appreciation
that they know a good thing when
they see it.
The fair is nearly over. Tomorrow,
although there will be many and great
attractions, will not attract near the
interest or the crowd that today did.
It has been a great exposition ; a good
thing for Raleighl and a good thing
for the State. The credit for the suc-
cers of the fair is, for the most part,
due to two men, Julian S. Carr and
Hal. Ayer, and the gratitude of every
true North Crrolinian is theirs.

TAR IIEELTRIUMIU
The University Easily Defeated
Trinity at Chapel Hill
s Yesterday.
Football enthusiasts have for many
weeks been lookiug eagerly forward
to the game between the University
and Trinity college which was played
at Chapel Hill yesterday afternoon.
The result was a great surprise. The
majority of the foot' all "rooters" ex
pected a Trinity victory, while the
most ardent supporters of the "hite
and blue" con eded that the game
would I e very rlose.
Chapel Hill was thronged with peo
ple yesterday and about one thousand
witnessed the struggle that ended in
the overwhelming defeat of Trinity
by a score of 23 to 0.
As a Trinity student said today, the
boys from Durham were simply out
played at every point. The Univer
sity eleven showed a development of
team work that has ne.er been equal
ed by any team in the state. Its in
terference was particularly fine. The
score at the end of the first half was
12 to 0 and in the second half three
more touch-downs were made by the
University, Collier, Guion and Steph
ens made the touch-downs that won
the game. While it is hard to pick
out "stars" from a team showing as
much unanimity of effort as did the
University eleven, the work ofCollier
and Stephens showed up brightly.
Raleigh people will be glad to learn
that Eugene Denson, who pi lyed half
back, also covered himself with glory.
The game was played in a spirit of
true sport and was free from the petty
"kicks" and quarrels that so fre
quently mar athletic contests.
Except for rather too much dust to
day the weather has been perfect dur
during the week. Another record
smashed. v
Public business is practically sus
pended today. The great majority
of the "servants of government"
wisely decided to lay aside dull care
and enjoy themselves at the grounds.
The University foot ball team is
covering itself with glory this season.
Yesterday it defeated the Trinity team
by a score of 28 to 0. The game was
a fine one and was played at Chapel
Hill.
Civil court convened and adjourned
almost simultaneously this morn
ing. Judge Bynum also seems to
have caught the "fair fever." Work
in earnest will commence tomorrow.
The docket is very light.
Messrs. R. T. S. Steele, Norwood
Hill and W. A. Graham, of the Uni
versity, drove through the country
last evening from Chapel Hill and ar
rived here in time for the brilliant ger
man of the cotillion 'club.
One of the very handsomest things
in the fair is a group, made of cotton
and tobacco, representing Columbus
at the court of Spain, presenting In
dians to the king and queen. Great
skill is shown in the figures.
Mr. Harry Roberts, chief of the fair
police, said late yesterday afternoon
that up to that time there had not
been an arrest made and that he had
seen only one drunken man on the
grounds. Chief of police Heartt re
ports extremely good order in the
city. .
Yesterday Mr. Thomas C. Milliken,
republican nominee for congress, in
this district, withdrew in favor of
.Mr. W. F. Stroud, the populist nomi
nee, Mr. Milliken says he Wkes this
step after careful .consideration, and
that he feels sure it is the only way to
defeat the democrats.
To-day Mr. W, C. Douglas, grand
master of the I. 0. O. F., Mr. N
Jacobiand Mr. C. B. Edwards, memb
ers of the executive committee of the
grand lodge on the subject of the or
phanage, met here " to arrange for
the construction of a large and hand

A Capital Play.
"Vendetta" was splendidly lcnder
ed at. the academy last e-. eninj,' to an
overflowing house. The plot is full of
"go" and excitement and kept the
large audience in a state of feverish
attention from beginning to end. The
leading character showed excellent
acting powers and ihe support was
nnitormly good. It is one of the best
ays of tin kind ever seen here.
The plot, while tragic in character,
s charmingly spiced with touches of
humor. Altogether it is an ex -client
roupe. The "Vendetta" !s on the bill
again for this evening and the compa
ny will no doubt receive the hearty
support it richly deserves.
