Baton thou1e Fair A o.-iation.
The Pro ress acknowlegdes the
rcceint of a scason ticket, to the
B3atcn Rouge fair which will be
9th 1iP%. 'id lit' instarnt.
Tihe direitors of the Fair Associ
ation ha e worked enerceticalally
and faith aLly to -dtbJlih a' first- a
and to
class Fair for the Capital City. and '1
if we may be allowed to judge, we I1
will say that this event wil be a r
grand success. The exhibition
building will be well filled with t
nteresting things from diifferent t
`arts of ite country.
The Association claims that the
racing department will be very c
fine, and a large amount of live c
stock is billed for the occasion.
The Association has secured ý any
costly exhibitions to be given free
on the grounds, for the pleasure of a
tne people. The Fair will have
its ividway; with all its Oriental
features.
The exhibitions will begin with
a grand trades display, compris- e
ing about twenty or thirty floats, .c
beautifully decorated. Also a C
flower parade-something that is ,]
beautiful and quite novel in this I
locality. Excursion rates by both I
boat and rail have been arranged sa
for the occasion, and all those who I1
are able to see the first of the r
grand annual fairs that are to be 1
held at the Louisiana State capi
tal, should visit the flower city on
the gala day.
A modern passenger train should
enable the traveler to go on a jour- I
ney with little or no deviation I
from his daily habits of life.
This the "Paciflc Coast Limited''
does, with its superior equipment,
quick time, and superior route. t
The equipment is unsurpassed, the a
train being made up of a compos- I
ite car, which contains a barber t
shop, bath room, buffet and obser.
'ation smoking department- al- 1
dies' parlor compartment car, with (
seven private compartments and r
parlor, furnished as is the com
posite car, with library and all
*3nveniences for correspondence;
ladies' maid in attendance; two t
of more Pullman ten section draw- a
ing room sleepers, and last in the
train but by no means least in im
portance, the dining car, where
meals are served a la carte. This e
train represents the highgest type I
of car builder's art and runs n
1tralght through withot change via e
