Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK June PA number OF
CisconCerting facts, accompanied by some
disturbing rumors. served thoroughly 10
unsette the stock market today and led
10 most extensive maximum declines
which have been Recorded in long time.
To begin with. this mornings announce
ment OF the plans for funding the cou-
pons on the Erie bonds. the interest on
which will mature July 1. created a de-
cidedly disagreeable impression, and the
effect of that circumstance was furthered
by the hattening out on the curb of the
market for the new Union Pacific per
cent bonds
The influence OF TINS iaIIer development
was emphasized if anything by the an
nouncement by the bankers in charge of
the flotation that the subscription lists
had been closed at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and the issue heavily oversubscribed
Then, again. there was evident q we'll de-
fined feeling of uneasiness that the action
taken by the state Legislature in the mat
ter of race-track betting would be sue
ceeded later by efforts to curb speculative
transactions in securities.
Finally. reports were current and quite
persistent affecting the credit of cor
poration. the securities of which are still
syndicated and the construction of which
is still unfinished. All Of the Erie shares
broke very sharply from the opening but
the losses in those issues were eaualed
and exceeded in a number of other &C
tive stocks. Union Pacific was notably
weak. the selling in that instance being
directly referable to the fall in the new
per cent bonds on tho curb market
Wide Diversity of Speculation.
There was very great inci ease In the
volume of business in connection with
the break in prices, and very wide
diversification of speculative interest was
disclosed.
The London stock market was dull but
gene rally firm. although lutte heavy
selling for foreign account was conducted
in the local. dealings.
Apart, however. from Union Pacific
and the Erie shares. there wa ; nothing of
novelty to be adduced in connection with
the course of individual securities
Inc local traction issues were weak in
common with the general market partly
on account of the race course measures
and also probably in connection with the
disturbing rumors mentioned above
Not the slightest interest appeared to be
Wken IN the outlook for tomorrow's bank
statement. The preliminary estimates of
the principal movements in currency dur
ing the week pointed to a gain in cash
by the banks of nearly S1OOOOOOO de-
rived about equally from their trarsac-
tons with the subtreasury and the inte-
rior.
The commodity markets were sluggish
curing the greater part of the day, and
the rates for money remained on the
same low levels as for the past two weeks

WHO OWNS THE FAIR?
is the Property of the PeopIe-Rev-
enues Devoted to improvements.

Visitors to the West Michigan State
Fair have been heard to express some
wonder as to whom the ownership
Of the fair is vested in and who profits
by the revenues derived That there
may be no misapprehension on this
score we are pleased to inform our
readers that the fair is owned by
the members Of the association, and
that anyone may join that body on
payment of the membership fee of 81.
The fair was organized for the ben
eft of the entire people Of this Sec
ton, and there is absolutely no re-
striction to membership, no race, party
or color lines being drawn. The pay
mont Of the membership fee entities
new members to precisely the same
privileges as charter members.
The fair is now being conducted
by number of philosophical citi-
zens of Grand Rapids and western
Michigan, and there is 10 profit ac-
cruing to any officer or individual con-
nected with it. All officers, superin-
tendents and directors furnish their
services without compensation, the
secretary being the only officer draw
ing salary, and that merely a nom
inal one. All the profits of these fairs
have been and for several years to
rome must be devoted to improve
ments of the grounds, the erection
of new buildings and repairs to the

Always noted for it's great horse
shows, the West Michigan State Fair.
which is to be held in Grand Rapids
Sept. 14-1S, assures its patrons the
greatest exhibit of horses of all classes
that has ever been offered in its his
tory.
The added premiums-S4, 500 is Of
fered this season against $4,000 last
year-are already attracting entries
Of the highest class. This circum.
stance, combined with that of the In
diana State Fair being held this year
the week previous, instead of the same
week, as has been the case for
number Of years past, makes more
than ordinarily successful horse show
this year a certainty.
Percherons have always made the
best showing among heavy draft an
imals. Last seasons exhibition OF this
class was notable one, but the in
quiries and entries already received
make it evident that this years eX-
hibit will completely eclipse it. In
1907 there was but one exhibitor from
outside the state. This year the fact
that the Indiana State Fair falls one
week earlier will impel many Indiana
and Illinois breeders to ship their
strings to Grand Rapids, where they
will be entered in competition with
the best the state has to offer.
Although at previous fairs premiums
have been offered for hackneys, there
has never, until the present season,
been an entry in this class. This
year the fair management has already
received the entries of two big strings
of hackneys, while others are antici-
pated.
The outlook for the Shetland pony
exhibit is good. The amount of pre-
miums in this class has been prac-
tically doubled, resulting in the prom
Use of some fine exhibits from Indiana
and Illinois. There are few breeders
of Shetlands in the state, and exhibits
III ILLS ulNlSlOu are unnecessarily lIOlu
outside.
The exhibits of carriage horses,
light harness horses and saddlers have
always been far above the average
at the West Michigan fair, but this
years entries betoken an exhibition
in this division second to none of
the famous metropolitan horse shows.
The harness races will be two in
number each day, with two daily run
ming events. The good purses offered
for each Of these is certain to bring
out the speediest horses travelling the
racing circuits of this section.
Horse breeders and fanciers cannot
fail to be interested in the induce
ments the West Michigan State Fair
is offering them this year, and lovers
Of horse flesh are guaranteed a rare
exhibit. Noted for keeping it's prom
Uses, the fair association promises it's
1908 patrons the greatest horse show
it has ever attempted.

The now carriage building which
State Fair grounds last year WILL ex-
cept for the space devoted to the
dairy department. be completely filled
with exhibits of carriages at the COM
ing fair, which will be given Sept.
14-1S.
Reservations of space have been
made by ten Of the largest carriage
exhibitors of this state and adjoin-
ing states, and 1t is probable that
other new exhibitors will be added to
the list. In this list are included three
firms which were not at the West
Michigan State Fair last year. This
department is under the able direc-
ton of Hon. j. X Flood, of Hart, Mich,
and bids fair to become one of the
most attractive features on the
grounds. The ten exhibitors who en-
gagged space before August 18th are
the following: American Carriage
company, Brown Carriage company,
Durant-Dort Carriage company, Flint
Wagon Works, Laporte Carriage CON-
pany, Lull Carriage company, Owosso
Carriage and Sleigh company, w. A..
Patterson company, Pontiac Buggy
company, the Studebaker company.
Much interest is being manifested
in the dairy department, which is
housed in the carriage building. Last
year. for the first time, cold storage
room was provided for this depart
ment, resulting in an exhibition of
butter and cheese far exceeding the
exhibitions Of previous years both in
quality and quantity.
Superintendent T. F. Marston, of
Bay City, and his assistant, e. A. Ha-
ven, Of Bloomingdale, are taking an
this department Of the fair and have
promised the board of directors that
the dairy department this year will
surpass any ever seen in this section,
and will equal that Of the Detroit
fair.
In addition to the regular exhibits,
the fair management has arranged
with the State Dairy and Food De-
partment to hold it's regular monthly
scoring test at the fair. This will be
under the personal direction of Com
missioner Colon G. Lille. In connec-
ton with this event Messrs. Marston
and Haven have secured no less than
fifteen special premiums, which will
be awarded exhibitors of butter,
cheese, bread, pies, etc.
The carriage building, with its great
exhibit of vehicles and the dairy de-
partment installed therein, is certain
to be a magnet for large numbers of
fair visitors this year.

FREE FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
High Class Vaudeville will be .
Feature of West Michigan State
Fair.

Visitors to all West Michigan State
Fairs of previous years have COM
mented on the excellence of the free
attractions provided for their enter
tainment. In view of this fact, the
announcement of the specialties Sc,
cured for their edification during this
years fair, Sept. 14-1S, will be of
more than passing interest.
With the securing of the last of
the contracts the fair management is
able to assure patrons Of a clean,
wholesome, high-grade vaudeville and
circus program, in which figure some
thrilling innovations, at the coming
and greatest fair In the history of
the organization. AS usual, these per-
formances will be given from a plat
form facing the grand stand, during
the intervals between the heats of the
racing events.
AS the headliner in an amusement
bill replete with novelties, Mat Gay,
sensational back somersault high
diver, has been secured. From a plat.
form elevated 80 feet above the
ground level Gay will dive backward
into a narrow tank of shallow water.
Hardy, 1.-The American Blondin," fur
nishes a sensational high-wire act that
is a genuine thriller. Hardy is with
out peer in his profession, and
though the fair management made re-
peated overtures for his appearance
last year, they were unable to secure
his services on account of a Euro
pean engagement.
Other engagements are with the No
rims, premier Roman ring artists; the
celebrated Malvern troupe of acrobats:
Mile. Gazellos, single trapeze artist;
the Beldinos, in new and original
casting act, and the "Bijou Colored
comedy Four" dancers and comedians
IF note. The last attraction is one
of kind which has long been sought
by the fair management, and the act
Is one scream OF merriInent from start
TO finish.
All these acts will be given each
afternoon of the fair from a platform
