Detroit, Mich, March 14.-There

can prevent 1t. Mr. Hudson is vigor-
cnsly opposing the plan, and, as he,
as president of the board Of commerce
las year, had much TO do with get
ting the fair located here, his opposi-
ton Will carry considerable weight
"To open the fair on Sunday would
be to ignore the laws of the state of

would it be any Improvement to eyade

fair, considered it from the intellec-
tual point of view. It's object was not
merely TO amuse, but to instruct the
farmers and breeders on up-to-date
methods. There is nothing so good for
mankind as rest on Sunday. Sunday
should be a day of thoughtful medi-
tation. and not one of frivolity."

the object of the fair, or that abso-
lutely no liquor should be sold on the
fair grounds. Both of the questions
now before the commissioners, the
opening of the grounds on Sunday and
the sale of liquor within the grounds,
can be answered satisfactorily by first
deciding the reason for holding the
fair. If it is for the amusement of the
people, then, l say, run it as many
days as the people find amusement;
but, IL it is for educational advantages,
then, / say, run 1t for six days a
week, and it will have given the OPP

betterment OF their present methods. p"
Strongly Opposed.
Mr. Hudson's views are strongly op.
posed by members of the state fair
board, and by other members of the
board of commerce.
President Postal says: ut is not
the intention of the state fair board to
have a general carousal on the state
