The street parade Monday morning
and the exhibition io tbe afternoon
were witnessed by immense crowds of
people, as is always tbe case when the
weather is favorable. To those who
have been in,the babit of coming to
town on circus day nothing new was
seen, but nothing new is expected of a
circus. The parade was made up of
shortly after 10 o'clock and moved to
the fair grounds. Gen. Julian S. Carr,
of Durham, who was to have delivered
the opening address, was unable io be
present. His place, however, was filled
by Dr. B. F. Dixou, state auditor, for-me
Iv president of Greensboro Female
College, who delivered a splendid ad-d'e*
a. He was introduced in a ne«t
little speech by Mayor O^born.
The attendance yesterday was not
great, though quite a number of people
purouased tickets. Visitors found a
soene of busy aotivity iuside tbe in-closure.
Exhibits were being placed
in position and those in charge of at-tractions
were busy arrangiug for tbe
immense crowds that visited tbe fair
today and that are expected during
tbe remainder of the fair. The exhibits
are full and complete and include
of tbe new year, while the quality of
tbe weed offered has been up to the
average. Prices on every grade con-linue
satisfactory. The cool, dry
weather since Saturday Interferes with
| tbe marketing of leaf to some extent,
hut it gives the farmers an opportun-ity
to get up with their fall work.
There will be no interruption in the
