Chippewa and other counties In the
northern part Of the state are also
making a good showing In regard to
the richness OF the soil In those dis
tricts.
For entertainment features, this
year, the management Is furnishing
grand circuit horse racing, as II did
last year. These races began Monday
afternoon and continue until next Sat
urday. On the latter day the automo-
bile races will begin. These are ex-
pected TO provide more thrills than
those given by the aeroplane fights a
wear ago. Such famous racers as
Bob" Burman and Ray Harroun, the
latter winner of the big 500-mile race
in indianapolis, will be on hand.
The management of the fair points
out In It's Official program that no
liquors are being sold on the grounds
this year. However, there is another
feature which Is prominent and is
calculated by many TO do as much II
not more harm than the presence and
use OF intoxicants. In the midst OF
the catch-penny attractions Is pic
ture slot machine room, which. all
day Monday, was heavily patronized
by school boys Over the machines
are pictures Of women in suggestive
poses, accompanied by attractive
words. such as. The chorus girls at
rest" How the pepper was caught"
etc. In addition to the machines
there Is a contrivance which turns
out pictures of women clad in tights
and other forms Of abbreviated APP
parel. Many children patronized this
machine and left with their pockets
bullying out with the Objectionable
pictures.
The midway" Is not yet in full
blast. but thus far there doesn't ap-
pear to be anything to offend. There
is the usual fiat lady" the thin
lady" the fat man" and attractions
of that kind
Tonight there will be a fireworks
display illustrating Pioneer days and
the siege of Fort Detroit" There
will also be a horse show. which has
been one OF the leading features OF
former exhibitions.
