The first State Fair of Michigan

1889. Twenty head Of animals, both
cattle and sheep, the proud exhibits
Of Henry Raymond, Crosse Isle
farmer, and specimens of cheese and
butter from Mr.. Tibbits, of Ply
mouth, constituted the first exhibition
of the agricultural and horticultural
fair of Michigan in that year. No
preparation whatever had been made,
no officers of the institution could be
found, and not half dozen persons in
Ann Arbor had heard that such a
fair was to be held. There was no
fair grounds designated; but ION the
appointed day the two exhibitors
drove thirty miles to have the show,
and put in an appearance on a va
cant lot, commenced holding the State
Fair and soon drew quite respect.

village voted thanks to the exhibitors,
and the exhibitors themselves felt
quite proud of that estate Fair"
So the two hardy pioneers-Ray-

group as whole, to meet the grow.
ing requirements of a great agricul
tural, horticultural, educational and
industrial exposition, wherein can be
displayed the products of the farms
ard factories Of great state-or OF
several states.
Last year the society erected, at an
expense of $4,000, a building for the
display of automobiles and acces-
series, that is 125x920 feet. For the
coming fair, every inch of the $4,000
square feet on the ground floor will
be occupied by automobile rranufac
turers with the latest designs of ma
chimes, including many 1912 models,
while the second floor will be occu
pied by manufacturers of auto aces
series, electrical appliances, etc.
There is every prospect that the
coming State Fair will in every re.
spect, and by far, eclipse any event
of like character ever held in Michi
gan, if not any State in the Union.
To have the reputation of holding the
greatest fair in the United States has
been the goal of the management, and
President Thomas e. Newton is fully
satisfied that this ambition will be
reached in 1911.
A force of men has been at work
on the grounds for weeks cleaning,
sodding, moving, trimming the shrubs
and trees, and setting out beds OF
flowers, and by, September everything
will be in full bloom and the grounds
a delight to the eye and an ideal rest
spot for tired visitors.

greatly stimulated interest in these

for space already greatly exceed any
