THE MARSHALS' HALL
Was a Fitting Ending of the
Greatest State Fair.
Pleasure reigned at the Capital club
ball-room last evening. At 3 o'clock
this illuming the greatest state fair
euded in a blaze of glory. It was the
marshal's ball, the last of the funct
ions of the fair, and the most brilliant
and pleasurable of the many preced
ing similar affairs. Beauty was out
in force. It was represented in the
person of fair women from many
other states, but every "laiheel" in
the throng felt a thrill of pride iu his
native state as he gazed on the array
,,f North Carolina I eauties present,
the fairest iu the laud
The ball proper euded at 1 o'olo k,
after which one of the prettiest ger
ms a ever seen in the state was led by
Mr, Henryliller.
Just before the "marshal's quad
rille" Mr. Hal Ayer, the hustling secret-try
of the agricultural society,
stepped forward and asked the mar
shals present to form a line across the
ball-room. Then Mr. F. H. Busbee
arose and after a short but witty p
scut at ion speech presented Col.Jas.4f. '
Holt, chief marshal, with a handsome
whip as a token of esteem from his
subs ' who, Mr. Busbee said, desired
to express their appreciation of the
taste which he had shown in the se
lection of the handsomest lot of snb
marshals who lift ever officiated at a
state fair. CoF, Holt gracefully
thanked his assistants in a very brief
manner. As Col. Holt concluded
thundering cries of "Carr," "Carr"
were heard. Col, Carr was escorted
to the middle ol the room aud succ
eeded in getting more in a few words
than any man ever heard here. It
was simply a glowing compliment to
die ladies aud covered the ground
completely. Mr. Hal Ayer was called
on but, with his accustomed modesty,
had fled.
Dancing was then resumed and
lasted until 2 a. in. when the com
pany dispersed, tired but reluctant.
Thus the fair formally ended. About
52 couples participated and about the
same n umber of stags stood ! y the dour
and tried to look entiing. Many
distinguished personages also graced
the occasion with their presence.
The ball managers were H. W. Mil
ler, chief, and Sherwood Higgs, Van
Wyck Hoke, A. Williams, Jr., J. M
Ayer, Armistead Cowand, assistants.

At the Museum. ".
The museum has recently been fitted
with a of handsome new brussels
carpet. It is a great improvement.
Mr. Green, the new curator, is
hustler, and by his good taste and
eye for arrangement has greatly inv
proved the . appearance f the
exhibit.
The handsome "broino" photo
graphs of native trees that attracted
so much attention, both here and at
the world's fair, were originally made
from small "Kodak" photographs.
Despite the rain over twenty -seven
visitors called at the museum today
Mr. Green has had a busy time attend
ing to the . flow of callers the past
week. It is safe to say, however, that
every visitor went away more man
pleased with the display and manage-

asked his wife if she was hurt. Then
