to catch a glimpse Of the whirling ma

course Is exactly 1924 miles In length.
II is ~ elongated triangle at the apex
of which to the west is the village OF

The first serious accident Of the race

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.
5i3 Main

The name of SINGER stands
for family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine rs is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
or has a wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin I'm
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, etc, by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
dozen dainty tuclSs at once, for
attaching all kinds of buttons, hooks
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for a thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional TO the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, viii excel anything
previously shown: and the varioua
types of sewing-machines for family
Use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed ON the market,

perts say he passed the grand stand

OF 100 miles an hour.
