The widows' banquet given August 7th for the benefit of Macedonia Baptist church, is one of the most talked of churches in the region, and the season. The splendid breeze on the Macedonia Park, the great K. of P. sand, the very excellent drill by that man, the great mass arrayed in white, under the expert management of Captain G. T.

The Macedonia widows and their company enjoyed themselves as none others could do them, who know how to enjoy a good thing. After an hour of pleasure at the banquet table, the widows, in the form of a large chunk of brown na Southern to the front, where she being the most popular widow, was presented with a new, crisp five-dollar bill.

KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, AUG. 26, 1916. The lynching god evidently felt that he had lost time. According to late information the Deutschland arrived safely at home, and the world is happier because of the fact. The Pilgrim's Chorus is now in order. All sing, "We're home again." A ticket composed wholly of Negroes is the news from the Tenth Tennessee. Congressionally District. And what's more, there's a chance to win out. The departure is rather alarming, but we view it that the Negroes of that district are tired being nobody in politics when by right of numbers and continued service they are considerably in arrears as to what is due them. Something is conceded the white man because he is who he is. But there is something due the Negroes. Among other things the New York World, one of the leading newspapers of the country, recently said: "The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is without effect. It was framed and adopted for partisan purposes and has been worse than a failure. It created an irresponsible conflict between the white and black races of the South and has done more than any other one thing to hinder the progress of the Negro people since they were emancipated from slavery. The amendment is of great and always important value, has been violated frequently enough, and is being violated today. But what law is it that not being violated? If that publication has in mind that analogy of the chain being no stronger than its weakest link, then it might be said that it is no good. The Fifteenth Amendment has been a hovering angel of protection to the Negro race. THE MADAME C. J. WALKER TOUR Madame C. J. Walker, who has been in Indianapolis the greater part of this week, talks enthusiastically of her contemplated Southern trip. Had it not been for that unfortunate happening—the death of Mrs. Lucy Flint, she would now be on what promises to be the most memorable event in the history of a colored woman. This trip will be her farewell tour of the South, according to what she says, and it will be so far as she knows at this time. But there is illustrious precedence, persons of eminence before her who have made more than once the famous Adelina Patti, the noted French singer, was good at that business, and she meant it every time. There is a siren call of the public that is hard to resist when once one gets aging. But we'll take the madame at her word and hold that this is her last Southern tour. It will be auspicious and memorable because day by day she is becoming more known. It is being proved that the tales of her wealth and splendor are not moonshine. She has given away more than any other living Negro woman. She has more left than any other Negro woman that lives. Regardless of her accumulation and fame as a successful business woman she is still in the harness. On this trip South she will demonstrate her goods personally, giving the people an opportunity of meeting a woman of the race who has fought her way from the ground floor up. She will continue to be helpful and useful to her race, as she has been for years. She will organize her agents into one great national organization, having for its object mutual benefit, the promotion of charity and the support of all worthy things. A TICKET OF COLORED MEN Elsewhere in this issue will be seen a news note from Memphis, Tenn., stating that the Lincoln Republican League of Tennessee, of which R. R. Church, Jr., is president, has put out an entire ticket composed of Colored men in the Tenth Congressional District of that state. The information is startling; nothing of the kind has ever happened before in the history of the country. We doubt the wisdom of going at the business in a wholesale way. And we think this is about the only criticism that can be honestly offered against the move. We have said that in republics the citizens take what belongs to them, and this is true. The theory is that we take orders of ourselves, and the practice fairly agrees with the theory, here and there elements that enter this seeming simplicity; and that means there must be diplomacy even in taking what belongs to us. Parties are necessary in republics. The worst forms of monarchy are not without them. Germany has its "obstreperous" socialist, with their anti-war views. In Russia where the Czar is held to be an autocrat there are parties. Parties are needed to act as checks and balances, holding the nations true to their purposes. But parties, be it the monarchy or the men, they must have principles, not provincial principles, but broad catholic, and to which men subscribe, holding them as a sort of religion, full of promise for political redemption at the institution of said principles—thus the faith in them. In this brief statement that comes from Memphis, it is not said that a new party has been formed. As useless and hopeless as a new party seems to us, Mr. Church and his confreres are within their right should they elect to set up a new party. It appears that the party been instated in a district where they have an excellent chance of election, owing to the large Negro population. Whether this is right or wrong in view of political usage in this country is known best by those of that locality. If the Negroes have been repeatedly baffled and beaten at the polls because they are Negroes, notwithstanding their great voting strength, then it was clearly up to them to turn as the worm turns when trodden on too often. However, as we see it coalition would have been the better thing, partitioning the offices between the races in view of the general race struggle. Then if white men refused to come in, then cut away and stand up for rights under the constitution, regardless of all sentiment and expression that's based on race color or previous condition of servitude. We hope that Mr. Church and his league will give to the country their reason for their startling departure. It is a matter of the utmost importance. There are many more such districts in this country made up mostly by Negroes, but who are as voiceless as oysters when it comes to political preferment. If the Memphis move has come about by undeniable political oppression, it is our opinion that it will meet sympathy; and whatever the issue something will have been gained. THE MOB. Newberry, Florida, this week, presents a most flagrant case of lynching. A mob at that place hurried three men and two women to eternity in the usual way—hanging. Nor is that all of the mob intelligence for August 21. At Rice, Texas, a Negro met his fate at the hands of the mob. Nor is the day of tragedy yet complete. Another Negro was shot to death by deputy sheriffs near Nesville, Florida. Perhaps, comment is not necessary as it concerns the last mentioned happening, because, as it appears, it was a mixup with the "law." Aside from this a total of six persons were deft with in defiance of the laws, adding another horrible chapter to mob rule in the United States. And yet we have a hesitancy in ringing in the whole United States because of the misdoings now and then of localities. Our race has a way of censuring the whole country when happenings of the kind occur. It is clearly wrong. This is a great country of many square miles, of many millions of people, the most of whom would not dream of mob violence under the most exasperating circumstances. These millions have their prejudices are or less, but, nevertheless, they close their eyes to them and feed and clothe, by way of employment, the vast array of Negroes—ten million of them, making it possible for them to compete in all ways with the best of these last days of civilization. They could do more, and we often tell them so. But it is best to tell them, also, at times, what they are by way of salvation. They could do much less. There is no job so poor, being held by a Negro but what it could be given away to a white person if the employer cared to do so. A white person stands ready to take every job held by a Negro. We must think of those things because of the possibility of the turn affairs, as well as make demands for greater citizenship. It is infinitely unfair to indict the whole country owing to mob happenings and other civil misdoubts incident to the country. We will lose our friends if all are weighed in the balance and be found wanting according to our reading. We sometimes think we are too bitter in campaigning for our rights. We charge in the wrong place very often. We contend for things that we would not grant our own kind lowest down. These things are becoming known and as a consequence we are being held as either thoughtless or unreasonable. We note in recent days the general apathy of the white press concerning mob rule. It may be owing to the frequent happenings. It may be owing to the growing arrogance among us, and as it concerns things that time alone can adjust. All of this does not justify the mob. In these cases the mobs were unusually easily excited, and which makes it all the worse for the race. We can well understand why white men with their views of race superiority can think of the mob as an "instrument" against a Negro who rapes all of their kind. But for other crimes we cannot see why the mob should linger unless it be due to a growing aversion to the Negroes generally. If this be the case the Society for the Advancement of Negroes could do no better in investigating some of the money in investigating the cause of the seemingly increasing mob spirit without a corresponding increase of the kind of crime for which the mob was first suggested. MAKING READY. We complain frequently because of the prejudice which keeps us out of the better class hotels, theaters and so forth. In a way the complaint is just because it is lodged against a wrong. But as wrong as things are as it pertains to those things we are not inconvenienced, nor will we ever be, provided the situation becomes no worse than it is today. We must keep this fact ever in mind, that situations of the kind are not stable, that is, they grow one way or the other. And this is true of all life. Nothing is at a standstill. Fortunately it is in our power to improve the situation, to grow for the better. We may as well conclude that the situation, will not be improved by making assaults, trying to compel things to turn in our favor. Making ready is the more difficult thing of any work in hand. We have been making ready to endure, to exist, to enjoy an every day existence. Industry and husbandry have done this. But what happens if you lose things which are considered the desert of life—places of high class amusements and also those somewhat of a necessity as hotels, restaurants and confectionaries? The answer is fairly easy. And perhaps it is being given, even if it is slowly given. The National Business Men's League years ago anticipated the necessity of this day, and went to work assiduously to bring it about. It, in a general way, has encouraged every move by Negroes that had in view the establishment of business concerns. It could not preach specifically, so as to reach the need of every locality, but it preached the saving doctrine of self-help, nevertheless. The Negroes of the South are much more admired and respectfully feared because of their business successes, and the general rise in their intellectual endeavors. White men with brains and those without brains are sensibly awed by brains, regardless of where they are deposited. We mean brains in operation and not merely the possession, if there could be such a thing. It means achieving, pursuing, accomplishing all of the things that white men accomplish. The automobile has been an educator to the white people as it concerns the ability, susceptibility and the value of young Negro men. They look on with mute astonishment while those black fellows tinker away, and with the same results as white men, who make a mental confession, and the Negro stock rises appreciably. There are other ways of preparation, of demonstration, proving quality, thus in a roundabout way compelling the thing we would have by indirection. This community, Indianapolis, can well afford a theater, a hotel, a restaurant or more, that would meet the demand of the very best among us. The saloons, a few of us all, are the best. No one is ashamed to be seen in them, and their patrons have no chance to make ugly comparisons. They do not think of superior service elsewhere, and in the meanwhile many Colored persons are given employment. This is not true of other places, consequently the feeling is that we are not getting a square deal in the run of life. The fault in the main is with ourselves. Barring the thought of civil irregularity of denial based on race or color we lose but little anything at all by the denial. This making the best of the situation—letting your buckets down where you are. It is up to the race in all communities where it is in large numbers to set up similar concerns to those from which it is debarred and thus prove a worthiness to the things denied.

AT TOP FORM, GIVES FINE EXHIBITION IN SALEM-CRECENT A. C. GAMES JOHN E. JONES, SALEM CRESCENT SPRINTER, BREAKS LEG IN 100-YARD DASH. Games Marred by Accident. John J. Moore, one of Salem Crescent's most dependable sprinters, after qualifying for first place in the fourth round, had to check the force of the speed which had carried him across the tap-lime line in the background, sustaining serious injuries to the shinbone of his right knee in the background, sustaining serious injuries to the shinbone of his right knee in the Harlem hospital, where it was said that his chances for ever participating in athletics were slim. Rev. C. Ken, in whose church the Salem-Crescent A. C. is a part of an ane eye injury, prompted a collection from among the games attendance for the assistance of the sprinter's young BOXING.

At The Lafayette, Last Week NEW YORK CITY (Special)—"Big Jim Gallamore" an escaped convict, held in prison for intent to murder, appeared at the Lafayette Theatre last week. Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick, working up to his trial, vividly real. His personality which is at full glow when he is working hardest, enmeshes that words phrased by his lips shot across the footlights with such force as to leave Watching Sidney, in the part of a really big man with a big personality, of some great tragedy occurring in the lives of some of your own friends. His portrayal of a man possessing such master of himself, fitted in so well with the physical bigness of Sidney that he never caused the play to take on the air of being an actual state of reality. And Arthur Ray- He won without apparent effort new laurels in the art of acting. His characterization of a dope fiend and crook lowered his voice, and he was the last one. This pained a difficult one, called for the most minute exactness in each portrayal. He must have been a play-play situation. Every word had to spoken in the uncertain monotone of the creature that he was typhining, and he was a semi-ferky half-hupured fashion of a slave to morphine. That Arthur, let out some new kinks of his own versatility, was noticeable, that saw a number of fellow contribs vigorously applauding. When Is She Coming Back? For three long weeks we have been without her. She, through whose able interpretation of the great title roars, has been the main factors in convincing the Colored people of this city that they wanted Colored people to through hard study and active mind always rendered an unfaltering version of her. She, whose Andersonian grace and beauty created such a large Andersonian following, which in a way sort of mimics her from a strongly written novel. She has eagerly and earnestly watched for by true admirers. When is she—Mr. Chase H. Anderson—coming back? In Which We Ask Mr. Knorl to Accept Our Congratulations. We have always been more or less susceptible to a real live detective, who is often joined watching a real live "stay detective" work in a play. Last week in "Big Jim Gallagher, Mr. Albert Knorl" we met the newest members, in the role of Tom Lane, railroad detective, satisfied at least for a time our thirst for real life. We were not alone, were other things besides acting which made Mr. Knorl so convincing as a man-hunter. A few of these were: his knowledge of the little frame topped with a pair of shoulders which gave evidences of great strength, straight, firm set lips, and a strong jaw. Not once during his entire stay on the stage did he forget the character he had assumed. No once during the last few minutes did he forget he was there to arrest this person or to protect that one. And when you get to meet him, he is really some deep stuff in the actor. He had us going too, and in the same way.

At the same time there comes the news that the best and most colored people, Jimmy Barton, wide-see news paper reporter, gets busy on the story. At the same time there comes a letter to Ryan, who says that her sweetheart is watchman in a bank, and that she met him in the lobby and he refused to speak to her. She is in despair and wants Miss Fairax's actress. Beatrice Fairax shows the letter to Jimmy Barton, and the idea flashes in his mind that this is the same watchman mentioned in the bank robbery story. Together they go to the girl's Home to investigate—and there the mystery deepens. Jimmy Barton sees a photograph of the missing man, and a clue to the solution—with its happy ending—comes to him. The rest is told in a startling and dramatic climax on the screen.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATER. PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gary.) Perhaps, indeed, if it is the ever present ontoforbidden ground that gives the action so much zest. The theme is a playful, fanciful tale that plots full of intricacies and unexpected turns, is modern in its handling, with much realism and many tells hits on the underworld as the law. The defect of the whole is heightened by some clever character acting by Philidene the fanciful and charming the favor of the "Dope" fend. She does well in the nerve-straining role and wins much applause. The theme is that the director gets together, and much credit for the smoothness of the presentation is undoubtedly due to the stage director. There is a clever dialogue or humorous business that is not made the centerpiece rounds out a bill that is fully up to the standard set at this powerful automobile out on the Old York Road on Sunday bowling along with the millionaires. It was a novel sight. There is nothing too good for DESIRES POSITION ON STAGE.

His titular role of the mother-in-law, was the central figure of hilarity in a most compelling art and versatility predominated and Billy King was equal to the task as the mother-in-law of his well-known conic maneuvers. Doe Doc Green, as the henpecked husband, was decidedly good. Howard A. Hart introduced and in the song "I Want to Linger"; was prosperous, Anna Holt introduced and in the song "If Your Loving Heart Still Pines for Me," and won applause. Theresa Brooks, as the daughter locked in with her cry is neither sane nor acceptable. Billy Walker and Gertrude Saunders secretly married couple who had to hide the baby, which was mistaken for an argument over a baby grandmother, and was an animated number and well sung. The white vaudville included The Van Der Koors, two magicians, a ground and a good comic dialogue in action and a cabinet scene revealing a life-sized drake. Frank Carmen was a violinist and a good stringist cleverly, and Gordon and Early had a violin and piano act which needs regulation, but the pianist was playing the dog Walking the Dogs continues.

For my part she could continue wearing her smart gowns and it does appear that she might be coursed, and ready like Beans, but we are not used to seeing things that way, so we are not sure whether girls or women who look fitting and yet are just a trifle naughty.

I have been asked a number of times this season if there are enough first class Negro Novelty acts suitable for a theatrical production, an answer (That is with a mono, good rehearsal). First we are short of aerial acts, second bare-back riders. The majority of these are the same one act, a circus always calls for two or more turns, or acts, then we have a great man doing the same thing, such as a ballet, a dance, or a more of them than any other acts, but colored novelty acts have never had any more of them than any other acts, but have had, nor do they get the salary. It makes no difference how great he may be, what it cost him in his appraisal, and what it took it to learn, a number of managers think his work no harder than a song and dance changed to a song and dance act because they got the same salary, and it was easier and less expensive than the houses that can really work a novelty, and the white circuits don't want to use them. When the first went out, the first used aerial act to play the city, Al Wilton, whose office was then in the Longacre building, ordered trapeuse act, and Keith and Proctor could not use the act, but when changed to Cuban, the Cuban began learning my wife, Laelia Wells, although a number of performers told me she never would use trapeuses because she started learning late. As for that kind of work you had to start very young. That did not discourage me, because she is the only college trapeuse performer in America, and we working Gibson's new Standard and featuring Whitney and Tutt's patriotic song, 'What Will You Do Uncle Sam?' The Inviolable Tale the blind musicians, are playing a return date at the Standard. The men off stage are royal entertainers. Their fun is infectious. They shine of their perennial good humor. They are expert whist players and it takes more than good eyesight to beat cards by the sense of touch and tell the time of day by any ordinary watch the same as for a coming season. They are booked for attractions with Williams' No. 2 Jubilee Company. The number of failures is not so much to the lack of talent or ability as to the lack of faith. We lack confidence in ourselves. Some are cowards, they never make attempt at success, and process fear of failure. Great men have used their mistakes as steps to greater things. The drum major may not be the musicians, but he attracts more attention. are featuring that daring feat the fly break-a-way on Tolliver's big show. Last winter while the show was played in the Gaines Bros. Acrobatic team, and Henry Wooden trick bicyclist, and the Wooden trick bicyclist, and these boys was ever on a trapeze before then, and when the show opened under canvas, we had one of the great accomplishments of the pleasure of patoning such circus people as T. W. Swan, Jerry Mulligan, Al. L. Martin and the entire team of the circus and Howe's Great London circus, who were in rehearsal at Montgomery, Ala., and our quarters, when our show played Our closing feat of the act, a somersault and catch by the feet, is very hard to bear in a sensation all season. Now back to the circus, we must have acts that can change, people that do two things at the same as white novelty acts. Colored novelty acts are in demand more this season than any other time in the history of show business, especially tent shows. I show has four novelty acts, a number of others are carrying two and three, and always looking for more. I have a lot of talent. I was the leaders in novelty line. I consider the Kraton Hoop Rolling act the leader, although John English is the first electrical display. For jugglers I take the Jalvins, with Roland next. For wire walking A. T. Johnson is first. Gaines a close second. Lavola is fast on a wire and features a head swing, Gaines does some very hard tricks, the head spoked the wheel and a good balancer. Trick bicyclist, the Woodens lead as team, but as singleider, Iider, the Woodens lead as team, but as singleider, Craig Marl from the show business, I take Dewayman Niles as leader of contourists, a acrobats or ground tumblers, Puggley leads them all. For team tricks that they have accomplished this season while on this show is rehearsal, Iider, Puggley understand tumbling will agree with me by reading the following trick, first their combinations are great, a one leg somersault by both, a passing front by both, a back from the knees, a fast row of knees from the knees, to feet, and another very hard one, known as the cradle, also a dive over 5 chairs to a hand stand on a table, Equilibrist. Those feats have made me call the Gaines Bros. Supreme Acroform very short. We have about six women doing that line of work, but this season acts, and with the present acts improving and others taking up that line of work it will be far better next season. Big Shows.

Athen won the $400 for fishing in the state, and for the fastest tire change, and $30 for first place in a 5-mile race. His actual time in the three events was 20 minutes eighteen and four-fifths seconds. The photograph shows him winning the tire change, of the fastest ever made on the Speedway. The pen sketch was made from a photograph of the noted driver. The fielding by each club was sensational. Genochio, at first for the Giants and Browns, and finally for the Tailors club, were the real stars. The A R's made three fast double plays.

PHILADELPHIA—That neither pennant race in the major leagues is going to change, but the winners the rest of the way is now pretty thoroughly demonstrated. The players who have suited the exciting struggles have tightened, if anything, the last week. Except the Mets, every American club that has played at Boston, of course, the prospects of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis are the same. The division of the National League are still in the hunt, though the Giants' chances in Philadelphia are by their experience in Philadelphia. That Boston's Braves are quite as dangerous as I have intimated free of any provoked conclusively when they booked with the leading Dodgers at Ebbets Field, have been noted for their gameness. He never had a gamer team that his present one has proven and is proving good. She back in back beheld eight pitching kings in Stallings within striking distance all the way, for his team has never been able at any time this season to deliver the hit. When Cincinnati was in Boston a short time ago it was common gossip that he had a friction french developed in Stallings's house between Red Smith and Johnny Evers. I hear Stallings insists that his malcontents have so many problems that Evers is a high-struggle fellow, but not a man that lets personal spies and prejudices interfere with his loyalty on the field. On more than one occasion while playing of the Yankees, the peerless leader anecdotes that showed his famous Cubs carried more personal spies and enquiries than usually exist in any major league. "I didn't care," said Chance, "how my men regarded—one another out of the crowd, they simply had to be pals. For years there was a feud between Evers and the other outside the bull party, recognize the other outside the bull party, nothing in common even in the club, and they behaved like the most affectionate brothers so far as the public could see. in the heat of the war with the bully, they pulled a great play (and they pulled many a one) or crack out a pinch and a pat of encouragement. They were continually boosting each other with remarks for the benefit of the spectator. "We other infelders, though, had many a treat that escaped the stands, the other fussed a play, we could count on an afternoon of bitter repartee. And they would promise all manner of retribution. "I'll show you up, you big stiff. Evers might say, "You don't back you up." Or it might be Tinker talking to the Trojan. "Till cress you next night, you won't back you up. I don't. But neither one nor then ever carried out his threats. They were right there in the right way in perfectly that if he tried any monkey shines he would have me, and not his hat. We used to get many a laugh from the Evers-Tanker feud." continued Chance. "But they were no more than a few means. I think there was more pure cussedness in the old Cubs than in any other battle in our clubhouse. But I didn't care a bit so long as they forgot their reference when the players got into a battle." Just then Captain Huston was paged. A boy handed him a telegram, "Can you tell me where I am over the message, which read: "Oldring sick a-bed. Temperature 102. Sparrow. Why didn't I knock wood the captain, men? Christy Mathewson. THE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP IN DENVER. Training To Meet Charley White- TheGo On Labor Day. Already deeply bronzed by his road work in the Colorado sun and almost overnight in the snow, champion Freddie Welsh today moved his headquarters to Colorado Springs, where he will meet Charley White in a game at the University of Colorado. Harry Pollock, Welsh's manager, arrived at the Springs last night and completed preliminary arrangements to continue his daily hikes, but in a different direction each day so as to vary the monotony. From now on he will spend all his rounds daily with his sparing partners and it will be no "tango" performance at that. Real, sure enough, he will be playing with Charley, purging him for his meeting with the Chicagoan. Welsh and White met at the Bramer-Chavez go last night. He will be playing with Charley. "Howdy," replied Welsh. "You know I helped you win the championship, continued White. I'm going to take it away from Willis, left today for the scene of the championship battle. White has rented a bungalow in London and will be training there." That the largest crowd that ever assembled in a western arena will witness the championship battle was the confident prediction that the crowd were placed on sale yesterday and a crowd of 200 was standing in line when the sale opened.

The net profits of the Pennsylvania eleven last season is set at a trifle over $240,000, while the nines showed some of the money. The fact that the gridiron team teams, playing less than a third as many games as the baseball nines, were tied up about 400 combinations, the profit of the combined combinations, shows that the gridiron game still holds first place as a money maker in college sports.

CLEVELAND, August 21.—Featherweight champion Johnny Kibble is listed as the winner of the fight overwhelmed by rush tactics in his battle with George Chaney, of Baltimore, and his teammate Kilbane's training partners are no other than Luke Ginley and Cal Delaney, two slamming battlers, who like to rough up opponents. Kilbane fought Chaney, and will coach Kilbane as to the Baltimorean's tactics. In addition, another replica of Chaney, Luke depends mostly on reaching his opponent with his left arm employing a quick slam.

Welsh contented himself with indoor work at his training quarters, white White, despite the steady rain, and over seven miles of slushy roads.

Students of Hoosier history will find in the Indiana centennial pageant, which is to be the chief feature of the Indiana state fair the week of Sept. 4, a vivid portrayal of the chief episodes which marked the development of the Commonwealth, from the time the first French explorers came into the wilderness until the close of the Civil war. There were many his historic incidents, both thrilling and pleasing, during this stretch of Indiana history and in writing the serenario for the spectacle J. Saunders Gordon, of St. Louis, brings them out forcefully. He spent several months informing himself of Indiana history, of the spirit of the times of which he writers, the outstanding features of the state's formation, the customs of the Indians, the French explorers, the British and pioneer soldiers, the daily life of the settlers who sought homes of peace, and with fidelity the spectacle follows the state's expansion down to the time when the present era of high civil development began. Mr. Gordon not only wrote the scenario of the spectacle, but he devised the rich scenic accessories which will embellish the production. He planned the forts, the log cabins, the Indian village, and the other Indiana scenery which will serve as the background of the big production. He also planned the elaborate display of fireworks which is to follow the spectacle each evening, giving a pronounced Hoosler centennial flavor to the huge set pieces and the aerial displays that are to be fired. In addition to all these preparations, Mr. Gordon has directed the formation of the groups of people who will give life to the night pageant and has directed the rehearsals of the hundreds of men and women who will present the production. The spectacle will be given on a stage about 500 feet long, with all the scenic vesture necessary to make it a great and brilliant production. Some of Indiana's most historical men will have speaking parts in the pageant, among them Governor William Henry Harrison; Tecumseh, the most famous of Indiana's red warriors; Col. Shuler, who gave chase to Morgan, the Civil war raider; and a number of others. White and Indian soldiers on foot and on horseback, fighting the battles of Vincennes and Tippecanoe; pioneer men and women venturing into the virgin Hoosier wilderness with their ox teams to set up their log cabins and clear the ground for their farms; the building of the first statehouse at Corydon and adopting the state's constitution under the historic elm tree at that place, are only a few of the intense incidents which are woven into the dramatic action which surrounds throughout the spectacle. There is intense interest over the state this year in all affairs relating to Indiana's centennial. Many very elaborate spectacles have been given, while that at the Indiana state fair will not only measure up to them in magnitude and splendor, but it will have additional picturesque richness, since it is the only great pageant of the year to be staged after night with brilliant illuminating effects.
