Horses AT Mich. State Fair

During the past week racing activ-
ity has been greatest on the halfmile
track at the Ohio state fair, but be-
ginning on Labor Day, the mile rings
VIII come to their own, for no less
than four big meetings will be held
at as many fairs. The competition
will continue through the second
week in September, but the week of
September Is, will find the coast clear
for the inaugural grand circuit meet
ing of the Michigan state fair at the
local track.
In view OF the number OF horses
engaged at the mile tracks next week
1t is expected that there will be more
fast animals here for the fair this
year than at any meeting OF the sea-
son. The grand circuit herd will come
from Syracuse, the great western
from Milwaukee and the Michigan,
Ohio and Indiana horses from Grand
Rapids and Fort Wayne, so that the
question Of stabling at the fair
grounds now Is vital one.
Secretary Albert II. Moone, who has
been in Boston this week. sends word
that not only will the entire grand
circuit bunch be back here. but many
horses will head In from the half
mile tracks, so that the second De-
troit meeting will be one OF the most
important Of the season.
