In the display of needework, Miss
sJennie Sackrider made very pretty dis
play of fancy needle work. Another note
worthy display was made by Mrs. Day,
mother of Mrs. q. s. Williams, who Is over
eighty years old, but has evidently not for
gotten how to use her needle.
Mrs. A. ID. Patterson also had a pretty
display.
The sight of the numerous quilts ana
comfOrtables in such warm time made
person involuntarily wipe off the perspira-
ton at the thought Of being covered by
them. They were there 'in all styles of
patchwork, one especially fine silk quilt
being shown by Mrs. j. w. Perry.
There was also the usual pleasing assert
ment of knitted and crocheted goods from
the fieecy locking fascinators in both white
and black to the more prosaic knitted nit
tens and socks, while the forms into which
thread had been crocheted were quite be-
wildering, though very pretty. Great
scarfs, leggins. slippers, table spreads and
-
of spare moments to good effect Two
fancy rugs, one in wool and one in silk,
especially the latter, were very fine, the silk
one attracting good deal of attention.
These were the work of Mrs. George
Carpenter.
THE RACES.
The races were by far the most interest
ing feature of the week and drew large
portion of the crowd. They were the
largest classes and most holly contested
races ever seen in Shiawassee county and
pleased both the spectators and horsemen.
Wednesday at 900 the $40 class trotting
was called by starter E. p. Byerly and OF
the Is entries horses responded, all being
in to win. Considerable scoring delayed
the start but when they got away every
horse had show and not until the wire was
reached was any horse certain winner.
All of the heats in the class were holly con-
tersted.
In the $50 pace of 10 entries answered
the call and with good start the horses
strung out in the first heat The other heats
were hard fought being won on the stretch.
The crowd did not catch the time in one
heat the same as the timers but all the
watches in the judges stand were practically
the same the time was undoubtedly as given.
The summaries are as follows:

Thursdays rases were hardly as well con-
tested as Wednesdays, but large number
of people were interested in Ernestine,
Major Mapes and O'Keefe, and they were
we'll repaid by the fine performance of
Ernestine. The mare seemed to catch the
spirit of the crowd and but for being held
back on the home stretch, would now have
record of 2:20 or better, There were five
starters in both classes, the 800 and $3.50
trotting. Gift Greenbacks and l.. @. trav-
eled three miles fighting all the way except
In the very last Of the third heat, when l..
G. was undoubtedly pulled to break to
give the heat to Greenbacks. They are
pretty pair of horses and nice travellers.
Col. Moreland, horse we'll known here,
was unfortunate enough to lose shoe in
the first heat. causing him distance. He
would have been up with the winner but
for the bad luck. The summaries are as
