HORSE RACING NIX. MACHINERY BETTER.
DINNER BEST.

/ tNtSs MACHINERY
DINNER BEST.
MIR. EDIToR;-In response TO your
question. lis horse racing a necessity
Tor the success of the fair?r | say. /
90 not think it is. do not wish TO be
understood that it is not Necessary Al
all, but if they must have races. let
them have their own days; don't con-
meet 1t with the fair. | think If the
society would get some other attraction
IN place OF spending hundreds of q H.
lars for races it would prove much
better The Worlds fair had no borse
races, and who was not satisfied with
thatP ! would suggest that some new
and novel machinery be introduced
each year. such as is used Il the manu-
facture of barb wire. pottery. basket
making, carpet weaving. wood snd
and metal turning, etc, with threshino
machinery self-binders, seif TO kes, NOW.
ers, teed-mills. straw and stllk.cutters
naY-loaders, etc. etc, all in motion.
Machinery in motion always draws
crowds, and such an exhibition | think
would be more interesting aud really
more profitable than raeiFc can ever
DC. There Is 20 moral uplist in Il hor,
race or IN seeing fellow dressed like
. clown hustling horses around race
track.

You a sketch Of my trip to the dinner
table, and will say right htre before I

set down 10 such dinner than Zoe 10

little fault, lot because was not salts

y queer now man can always learn
never knew what was meant bv the
words Relief Corps" but when [ cot
TO the fair, it was all plain enough. Ii
simply means that they relieve every
BODY OF that empty feeling and make
him or her feel solid 10 the core.
Furthtr more they relieve you of your
quarter, and what's more, relieve some
other sufferer with the proceeds. But
now for the trip and the hints. After
listening to the eloeutionary contest.

more verses could be added, and if a
