ToDAY'S SPECIAL FEATURES.
What the Rent Society viii Offer to tho
Visitors.


ave not only do as we agree, but we
are trying to do more than we agreed"
is what MIR. Garfield said yesterday.
The crowds on the grounds and in the
shady groves was ample evidence
that people of Kent county fully ap-
preciate the efforts of the Kent Society
and the visitors today will be amply re-
paid for their pains in the program
that will be carried out. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the great display IN
the Art nall and the fruit and farm
product halls is worth all the trouble
OF the trip TO the grounds aud also lat
the the cattle and horse and poultry ex-
hibits are the finest ever seen IN this
part of Michigan, the management out
does itself in its efforts to please the
public and gain their good Will not only
for this fair, but for the future.
First. there will be grand cs-lvacade
of the cattle at p. M. on the race
track, when will be shown the finest
display and greatest aggregation of
pure blcoded stock ever brought to-
gether upon any fair ground IN this
state. Then will be a novelty running
IdCc NuiSu Just uOW 40 aii VIC AdSC iAl
the south and west.
The first horse at the quarter gets
$50, the first horse AZ the half mile pole
gets 500, the first horse that reaches the
three-quarter mile mark gets $50 and
the first horse under the wire gets $50.
1t will be readily seen that under the
circumstances how interesting the race
will be. for one horse may win the
whole purse, or any one horse may
drop out after winning any one of the
$50.
The second feature will be a special
race between Alcryanl and Ripple to
lower the track record and with the
track in Its present condition some very
fast time will be- made which no one
could miss seeing. The next feature is
a 2:30 trotting race in which there are
four entries for purse of $3.50.
The next feature will be a balloon
race between the famous French aero
naut Mile Nellie La Mont and Prof
Ode Hunter, who will go higher than
has ever been attempted in Grand
Rapids before. Taken all together no
such program has ever been offered
here before and il should receive the
recognition it deserves.
