The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-08-30

Enormous expense has been under
taken by the Michigan State Fair
management in putting on the most
elaborate fireworks spectacle ever
seen In Detroit or in Michigan and
undoubtedly the most complete ever
seen at any State Fair of the country.
Newton & Duffield, who put on the fire
works for Cadillaqua, have agreed to
Guido their efforts at that time with
the spectacles entitled the Fall Of Old
Mexico" and the Battle in the Skies"
The Mexican piece shows a panorama
of Old Mexico with the Castle of
Chahultepec and Mount Popocatapel.
For twenty minutes the troupe Of 800
people enact scenes or Old Mexico on
fete day including a Mexican bull
fight, ten thousand square feet of can.

of the view. Correctness in every de-
tail will be found. AS the perform

the drum and fife corps sounding the

location of the midway has given over
to the children who will have mid
way of their own with the riding pom
les and with merry-gorounds and
many other attractions including a
play ground. Another innovation for
1912 is the Free Soil Test in charge
of the Professors from the Michigan
Agricultural College, who will test
from $50 to 200 samples of soil free
every day. And the management has
added also a real restaurant where
meals equal to any to be obtained In
the city will be possible and where
the service will be first class. But one
of the most radical of the innovations
is the Progress Building in which
every exhibit will be one of actual
manufacturing, showing the manufact-
uring of goods made in the State.
There are many other features of in
terest to be seen this year and which
were not seen last year and all in all
the Michigan State Fair of 1912 is
already attracting the attention Of
other Fair promoters who will watch
every move and If successful, will
adopt many of the innovations at this
Fair.

Twiggs and Pillow opposing General
Santa Anna, of Mexico, and the Amer
leans outnumbered five to one, but
well entrenched behind the walls of
the fort. Fifteen minutes of actual
warfare Is seen with huge mortars
and guns throwing bombs into the fort.
BY means of scaling ladders the walls
of the fort are gained and the Amer
lean flag is raised over the fortress.
Mount Popocatapel, just at this time,
has an eruption and 400 pounds of
powder, blowing off the top of the
mountain, assists the spectacle and
gives realism to II. Streams of lava
pour down the mountain side. At the
conclusion of the eruption sixty fire.

lowing that the spectacle entitled the
Battle in the Skies" in which two
aeroplanes are seen In actual warfare,
one being put out Of business by the
explosion of an aerial bomb which
strikes ii and explodes electrically.
The program will be changed nightly,
the entire performance taking over an
hour.

Horse Racing as Seen at the Michigan State Fair

Michigan's Great State Fair to be
held this year from Sept. 16 to Fl, in
elusive, has always been noted for it's
horse races. The Grand Circuit meet
ing brings together the very best in
horse flesh and the contests every year
Isurpass those Of the previous year.
The entry list for this year leads to
the belief that the Grand Circuit
meeting of 1912 will be one Of the best
ever given at the Fair grounds track.
In connection with the horse races
will be the Night Horse Show which
is an annual feature of merit and
very important. The efforts Of the Of
ficers IN charge have been rewarded
every year with an attendance that
has been considered wonderful and
the shows have steadily increased in
interest. The number of stables this
year again exceeds the previous year
Practically all classes for harness

With one exception all of the aero
plane drivers who performed at the
Michigan State Fair last year have
been killed in following their calling.
The dangerous sport takes it's tolls
regularly. The management of the
Fair was this year fortunate, in be-
ing able TO book Lieut.. Mestache, of
the French army, who will bring his
monoplane to the Fair. The Lieut.. is
a man of the utmost nerve, a man ad-
mired in all countries for his daringly
successful fights. His wonderful trips
in Europe when he made the first
fights successfully accomplished
from Paris, France to Madrid, Spain,
endeared him to the hero worshipping
French people and to the Spainards
also. When the Lieutenant added to his
great renown by flying from Paris to
Rome, Italy, feat thought impossible

and saddle horses are covered. 1t is
invariably the rule that there is a big
show in every class from the brilliant
tours and tandems to the pony classes
for the children. The money goes to
the horse that wins and the rivalry
is intense. The spectators have a
show provided every minute until the
ribbons have been placed. Every effort
has been made this year to make the
show better than former shows and
w. c. Morgan, the manager, has been
successful in obtaining a splendid en-
try list
This night horse show is the real
genuine article at the Michigan State
Fair and no so-called Nancy affair"
Last years competition was keen and
interesting every minute and the
splendid feats of horsemanship and
magnificent animals shown created
the utmost enthusiasm.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-08-30

owing to the high mountains to be
crossed. Europe went wild over his
prowess. Gaining a furlough from the
army Lieut. Mestache decided to come
to America and at New Orleans he
became Americas first aerial mail
carrier. Transporting the mails from
New Orleans to Baton Rouge gave
him an even greater reputation. At
the Michigan State Fair he will not
only make flights at the Fair grounds
but leaving the grounds he will travel
to Pontiac and return, will fly over
Detroit and will even go to Port HUI
ron, Adrian and farther points, max
ing one trip across the waters to
Canada. While he has had some falls,
the Lieutenant has lost no nerve and
he has promised to give the gasoline
city, as he calls Detroit something
to talk about.
