Held Here Last of the
Month.

The West Virginia Fair Associ.-
tion is making extensive repairs 1T

sible condition for its sixth annual
meeting which win start August 80,
and continue to September 2. lnclu-
sive.
Efforts are being made to place
the half mile track in the best posi-
BILE condition. To aid in this the as
ISOLATION has purchased large
steam water pump with which the
water is pumped from the creek
upon the track and to the sprinkler
which is used upon the track. 1t is
the opinion OF the drivers and horse
men already at the fair grounds that
the track this year will be better
and faster than 1t has ever been.
The labor on the track will continue
up to the day of the opening of the
races.
The grass in the quarterstretch
has already been cut and several
rough places have been leveled.
The stretch with its picturesque
coating of green grass adds greatly
to the beauty of the grounds and
surrounding premises.
The grandstand is to be completely
remodeled and thoroughly cleaned
with new paint used everywhere nee
essary. From the street car en-
trance or gates to the grandstand
much work has been done on the
grounds. The trees have been trim
med; the grass cut and all other nee
essary improvements and repairs
have been made.
Beyond a doubt, this year the West
Virginia Fair Associations grounds
will be in much better condition than
any of the previous years. The
beautiful nature spectacle lying
down in the picturesque valley be-
tween the hills viii only need the
echo of the starters, Go" to make
the occasion one OF grandeur and
splendor those assembled.
The efforts, untiring. of the asso-
citation members to place in the best
possible condition the track and
premises are being greatly appreci-
ated by all the loving populace
of the city and surrounding country.
The location of the fair grounds is
as ideal as any in the state and the
efforts of the association members
in identifying their premises are not
being made in vain.
The race meeting this year has the
ear marks of being the the hest that
has ever been held and record
breaking crowds are expected to be
in attendance each day. Through
the columns of the Telegram viii be
published the many attractive fea.
lures which have been and are being
added to, make the meeting the best
ever held.

GRANT AFTER MORE HoNoRs.

The departure of Harry Grant. twice win
ner of the Vanderbilt Cup race and his
Alec car for Savannah Monday was
good news to his many supporters in New
York
There was a time after the race for the
Grand Prize was transferred from Long
Island TO Savannah when It was feared
that he would not fl his engagement to
drive. He will use the same car with
which he won the Vanderbilt CUP In two
successive years. Although the car is
only OF o. horsepower. ne has figured II out
that he has good chance TO win. because
he says his car will keep going. while the
big l60-horsepower foreign cars may not.
His performance on November l2 over the
Savannah course will show whether or NOT
his method Of hguring is right Grant will
devote most of his time for the first few
days after arrival in studying the course
and getting his big racing machine tuned
up.
