FASTEST HORSE IN THE WORLD
Dan Patch Will Race Minor Heir tc
Beat the Worlds Record.

Horse lovers and all followers OF
the racing game will be given an I'M
usual treat at the Michigan State
Patch 0:55) and Minor Heir (1:59R }
fight il out for the worlds champion
ship honors
NJ w. Savage, who for several
years has been the owner of Dan
Patch, recently purchased Minor Heir
for $4,000 and has consented to let
these two worlds fastest harness
horses appear in a series OF races.
True to his first love, Mr.. Savage
insists that as long as Dan Patch
stays right he will be able TO defend
the championship against all corners,
even against the feet son Of Heir-at-
Law.
Mr.. Savage has given orders that
both horses be trained TO the minute
and that when they go their race ex-
hibitions each shall be driven TO his
limit so that there will be an honest
test of speed. gameness and stamina.
There are some horsemen who be-
lieve that Minor Heir will develope
as great, IL not greater, speed than
Dan Patch. He was a green PAGER
last year, and as such gave some Of
the most wonderful performances on
record He has terrific flight of
speed, and IL under the scientific care
of Harry Jersey, he can be fitted so
as to hold his lick for mile, he will
give Dan Patch all he can do.
From present indications 1t is evil
dent that the Michigan State Fair
never had so popular a drawing card
as the scheduled race between these
two worlds champions.
Thousands of people will go to De-
troit for the opportunity merely to
see these two champion horses go in
one of the greatest races in the his
tory of the world.
While discussing the two horses a
short time ago Mr.. Henry c. Hersey,
superintendent of Mr.. Savages farm,
and famous as the trainer and driver
OF Dan Patch, had the following to
say:
81 am now working Dan and Minor
Heir twice a week, Tuesdays and
Fridays. I am repeating them now,
giving each the last mile around 2:35.
I will continue In this way until
begin working each horse four heats
on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Mon
days, Wednesdays and Thursdays and
Saturdays the horses are now logged
about four or five miles. and I will
continue this after the more severe
work is In progress.
my plan is gradually to work them
up TO faster miles and TO keep them
as big and strong as possible Dan
Patch now weighs LOO and will work
down TO about LOTS pounds, when he
is at for great miles. His rival now
tips the scales at 1,020 pounds and
will weigh In close to 1000 pounds
when he is ready.
want 10 keep them both as big as
can and still have them hard and
not fat inside. I am slowly working
off the surplus fat, changing It into
muscle.
AT present | am giving Minor Heir
a little more Jogging and a trihe
sitter work than the champion. He
needs to develope more staying quail
ties. The physical condition OF each
horse seems perfect They have
plenty OF lick and are feeling almost
too good. Dan never looked better at
this time of the year"

SANITATION OF THE STATE Pair
GROUNDS.

The State Fair officials are taking
every precaution to protect the exhibi
tors of live stock at the 1909 meeting
which opens Sept. 2. They have made
arrangements for the complete santa
ton of the live stock and, In fact. the
entire show buildings and grounds
during the Fair time.
Before any animals are brought
into their quarters. all stables, barns
etc, will be thoroughly cleaned of any
refuse that may have accumulated
there, and then they will be thorough
ly and completely disinfected so as to
prevent any possibility of disease
being acquired from the condition OF
the grounds before the live stock ar
rives.
During the entire time of the Fair
constant attendance of a corps OF
expert assistants will be continuously
disinfecting all the live stock and
buildings, so that it will prevent any
possible outbreak of contagious dis
eases while on the grounds.
Arrangements will be made for par
ties who wish to have their stock
sprayed before entering the grounds,
and the fact that Messrs. Parke, Da-
Wis & Company will have this matter
in charge, and will use the disinfect-
ant Kreso for the purpose, is sufficient
20 know that it will be done properly
and effectively
This firm has taken care of over
200 large expositions of this descrip-
ton, and by using Kreso have pre-
vented any outbreak of disease; this
is certainly a safeguard against any
such troubles that otherwise might
arise.

BUSINESS MEMS DAY.
Detroit Wholesalers to Entertalr
Michigan Retail Dealers.

"Wednesday. September G, will be
Wholesalers day" ut the Michigan
State Fair and he Detroit Wholesal-
ers' association has arranged a pro-
gram of entertainments that will give
the visitors an extremely delightful
time. On this occasion merchants
from all parts OF Michigan and the
surrounding states VI be guests of
the Detroit organisation which will
see that nothing is left undone for
their enjoyment The Michigan State
Fair and the city Of Detroit has a
reputation for doing things and the
visitors on that day will be treated
to surprises at every turn.
The Wholesalers association will
have a tent on the grounds with free
telephone service to visitors, who
thus will be able to talk with friends

cial entertainment will be prepared,
including a magnificent horseshow
and a general vaudeville performance
which will take place In front Of the
grand stand. A grand display Of fire
works. including many large pieces,
will conclude the evening.
Michigan retail merchants say that
Detroit is one of the best places in
the country in which to buy goods.
About everything under the sun can
be found there. The shops, mills and
wholesale houses are numerous and
the proprietors cater to the very high
est class OF trade. This fact was dem
onstrated year ago when FIVE thous-
and visiting merchants attended the
annual meeting.
1t is expected that this years at
tendance will exceed that of 1908.
The railroads are interested in the
event and will furnish cheap rates
into Detroit from every part Of the
state

one error in distribution of mail mat
