THE MIDWAY SHOWS.

The midway exhibitions are located
affectively this year, being near the
tunnel entrance, and on the side near
the track, on each side of a wide
street, leaving the rest of the grounds
open and unoccupied by shows of any
kind. There are quite number of
shows, wheels, restaurants, etc, some
of them of doubtful propriety. How
ever. in the absence of any free at
traction, merry -go-round, these
shows were we'll patronized.
In the afternoon there were two
'races-a trotting race and half
mile dash running race, which af-
forded the only real attraction for
the crowd during the day.

MRS. WALDRON SUR
PRISEO ON BIRTHDAY

July 26 marked another milestone
in the life Of Mrs. Elvira Waldron.
Her husband invited the members of
the G. A. r. and w. r. c. to spend
the afternoon with them. Twenty-Five
accepted his invitation and surprised
Mrs. Waldron. Her health has been
very much impaired for sevral months
and it was quite treat to her to have
eight of her old schoolmates and one
Sunday school teacher present. A
very jolly time was spent, followed
by picnic supper, which her friends
prepared. Mr. Waldron was most IL
beral with the ice cream which GER
tainly was Mr.. O'Bryon's "real vel
vet" The W. r. c. president, Mrs.
r. B. Strong, brought the cake Gift
for the Gods) even if it was DEVILS
food. Before leaving a nice purse of
money was presented to Mrs. Waldron
with the sincere wish that she may
live many more years.

CAPT. D. C. CRAWFORD
WILL BE ON TICKET

David c. Crawford went to Ionia
Monday. He is a candidate again
for county surveyor on the Republi-
can ticket and is circulating his Pc
tition for the primary election.
Mr.. Crawford has been county
surveyor for so many years that a
county election ballot would look
strange without his name on it for
that office. 1t is proposed so long
as he is able to carry a tripod and
squint through the field glass and
give orders for the setting of stakes
to keep him on the job. His many
years of faithful service in the past
is a guarantee for the future.
Mr.. Crawford, although "not so
young as he used to be" can still
tramp through fields and marshes
and over rough country, lead and tire
out many younger man.

WORKERS IN THE
MICHIGAN DRY GAM
PA|GN WERE HERE
SPOKE IN THE CHURCHES IN
EVENING. UNION SERVICE
IN AFTERNOON

Sunday was Anti-Saloon League
day in Belding. Speakers were here
from the state committee and spoke in
all of the churches. State Superin-
tendent Grant NJ. Hudson spoke in
the Central Methodist church and al
so at Green's church. Edwin Row
den was the speaker in the Congre-
gational church, w. V. Waltman was
at the Baptist church and Mr.. Gra-
ham spoke to the congregation at the
Church of Christ. Rev. Johnson of
Greenville was also in the city and
assisted in the services. During the
hour of morning services in the
churches one of the visiting party,
Mr.. Carroll, made the rounds and
sang to the different congregations.
Mr.. Carroll has a strong and we'll
trained voice and possessing a strong
Irish physique. he throws his heart
led the singing at the union meeting
at five o'clock in the afternoon, when
all of the churches combined in the
songs prepared by the Michigan Dry
Campaign committee were sung to
the tune of old familiar songs and a
very eHJOydDle idll 1OuI was given
over to this part of the services.
At the conclusion of the singing Mr..
Waltman took charge of the meet
ing and introduced Mr.. Rawden, who
is the attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League. Mr.. Rawden urged the nee
essity of every one getting out to
vote on election day. He stated that
the dry majority in Michigan was
much more than enough to vote the
state dry, if every voter got out to
the poles. He said it was a lament
able fact that on the average only
about sixty-five per cent of the peo-
pie interested in a moral question got
out to the polls on election day while
those on the other side turned out al
most TO a man.
Mr.. Rawden was followed by Mr..
Waltman. who told something of his
work at st. Ignace in an effort to get
the local option vote before the peo-
pie of Mackinac county.

CONTINUED WINNING
BLOCKED SATURDAY
BY ST. JOHNS SPORTS
AFTER WINNING 15 STRAIGHT
GAMES IN SEASONS PLAY
LOCALS DROP 10Th

Belongs fast Independents took
their first defeat of the season on the
home grounds Saturday after having
won fifteen straight games this sea-
son, not including the preseason
game staged by the boys of the team
with Ionia which was also a winner.
The defeat came in struggle with
st. Johns, after having gone to st.
Johns and trounced them 5 to l on
Thursday.
1t was bad day for the locals when
Voss hit the first visiting slugger up
to bat, gave the second first ON balls
and allowed the third man to single.
Hoolehan, the third batter, scored be-
fore the side was retired. In the fifth
course things went bad again. The
same end Of St. Johns battery was
up. Smith and Tyler got on and Hoo
lehan pasted a home run over the
fence at extreme right, bringing in
the two ahead.
In two instances it looked as if the
locals might nose in run and save
themselves a clean shut-out, but at
both times Rynerson steadied down
and pitched unerring ball. During the
game there was the usual number Of
breaks, but always in favor of the
visitors. Rynerson famed fourteen,
over half the outs required in the
battle.
Saturdays game was the second of
a series to be played with the Clin-
ton county aggregation. The third
and fourth game of the series will be
played in st. Johns the first of Aug
ust with the last game to be played
here. After the conclusion of the SER
les another one will be staged with
the same troupe, three of the five in
the series being held there. Score:

COMMERCE BOARD
ENTERTAIN NED BY
LOCAL MUSICIANS
EX- MAYOR A. nj. HALL PRESID-
ED. SEVERAL MATTERS OF I'M
PORTANCE CONSIDERED

The noon hour luncheon of the
board of commerce was held last
Thursday and the attendance was
good. One of the pleasing features
70 the meet and which met the hearty
support of all was the singing by
Miss Winnifred Evans during the ta-
BILE services. Miss Evans sang a
number of songs accompanied by Bert
Rummler at the piano which were
heartily applauded. Miss Evans has
a wonderfully fine voice and she
sings her selections with excellent
expression. At the close of the feast
she was presented with silver col
lection and rendered a vote of thanks.
Ex-Mayor A. NJ. Hall presided and
during the half hour conference sev-
eral important matters were called
up and discussed, one of them being
that an effort should be made to es-
tablish a green house here. The fact
was brought out that hundreds of dol
lars GO out of the city every month
for green house products. A COM
mittee was appointed TO investigate
the proposition. There is no question
that an industry of this kind establish
ed here with up-to-date equipment
and handled by expert labor and ef-
ficient management would succeed
and yield a handsome revenue. There
are a number of locations in the city
which would be an ideal site for a
green house with plenty of land and
water conveniences available. To
the right party who desires to help
establish and manage such busi-
ness communication with the commit
tee of which G. f. Wortley is chair
man or with the secretary of the
board of commerce would result in
getting answers TO any inquiries
which might be made along that line.
Favorable progress was reported by
the committee relative to the new
depot and station grounds with as
surance from the officials of the rail-
road that some action would soon be
taken in the matter.
The question of boosting for the
Chautauqua and pushing the sale of
tickets which opens here the first day
of August was brought up by Fred
A .Washburn and Secretary of the
Chautauoua Association G.. Z. Wort
ley. Tickets will be placed on sale
and it was conceded that a general
boost all along the line will be given
the 1916 Chautauqua.
The Belding band under the direc-
tion of Bert Rummler came in for
many complimentary remarks for the
excellent concerts given and the ad-
visibility Of providing substantial
aid for its continuance during the
season.
