only for few short months. While
at st. Louis the building stood upon
a temporary foundation consisting of
a few piles, today it is on a solid
foundation and there is not the slight
est danger of the structure sagging,
for no expense was spared when it
became a companion structure to the
glass and brick buildings nearby.
Early in 1905 the st. Louis fair
commissioners offered the building to
the officers of the Michigan Agricul-
tural society for the sum of $3.50.
The original contract price had been
$4,000 and in addition TO this the
contract stood loss of $4,000 due
to the high wages that were paid dur
ing the fair The offer was eagerly
accepted but before the building was
finally erected in Detroit the society
paid out an additional $4,000.
This year the entire upper floor
will be devoted to the art collection
which will be under the direction Of
Prof. A. II. Griffith, director of the De-
troit Museum of Art. Part of the low
er floor will be devoted to the mineral
exhibit, of which Rep. w. ]. Galbraith,
of Calumet. will be the superintend-
ent. This exhibit promises to be the
finest collection of mining products
ever shown in the history Of the
world.
In the Michigan building friends can
meet friends. and seek rest on its cool
verandas The views in all directions
are worth patiently sitting in steam
er chair and studying as the kaliedo-
scope of life and activity passes be-
fore ones view.

FAIR CLOSED SUNDAY
But Will Be Opened Every Evening
NEW PREMIUM LIST OUT

The Beautiful Michigan Building at the
St. Louis Worlds Fair Now Stands in
the Foreground Of the Michigan State
Fair.
Despite the adverse comment OF
people who were not in possession or
the true facts, the State Fair of 1907
will be conducted on the same order
ly and broad basis that has character
lied the exhibitions held by the Mich
igan Agricultural society in the past.
Every attraction on the grounds will
have to come up to the high standard
set by the executive committee or the
permit under which it will be given
access to the grounds will be revoked.
1t is the aim OF the society to make
the great Michigan fair an event TO be
looked forward to by those enjoying
keen and exciting contests Of speed,
the opportunity TO study the products
and natural resources of the Wolver-
inc state, and high-class entertain
ments.
In 1906 the fair was open on Sun
day. 1t was the desire of the manage
ment to give those who could not get
out to the grounds on week days an
VI NltNlnS INC SNulDllo
tat had been gathered from all parts
of this great state. The Sunday pro-
gram was in keeping with the day.
There were sacred concerts, both in
the afternoon and evening, while no
shows of any kind were operated and
all boistrousness was sternly repress-
ed.
The fair of 1907 will be closed upon
Sunday This action was taken, not
because the previous openings of the
fair on this day had not borne out
every contention made by the eXecu-
tive committee as to the advantages
that would accrue to those who could
not visit the fair at any other time,
but simply TO silence the criticism
that came from many quarters, and
to weld into a compact unit those who
were giving the Society's officers their
support.
