About TOO people assembled at the
fair grounds last Sunday to witness
the motorcycle and automobile races
given under the auspices of the Ma
tional Racing Association. The races
began at $3.50 o'clock and were pre-
ceded by q parade through the
streets of Donaldsonvle, which led
to the fair grounds and in which the
Vigilants' auto fire truck and many
motorcycles took part.
The races proved exciting and in
teresting. "Tiny" Miranda of Baton
Rouge, established new state record
for Louisiana and won the Landry
loving cup for the fastest time. His
time was "a seconds fiat to To lap;
the previous record was 81 seconds.
The two-nile race was won by

seconds. Green came in second, Rous-
sell third and Butler fourth.

Mayor Gisclard Optimistic.

Mayor Joseph N: Gisclard is no
pessimist. Decidedly he is an opti-
mist, and. he spells it with a capi-
tai "O."
'@Do I think trade conditions are
improving?" he repeated in answer
to query from a representative Of
The Chief. "Sure they are. Re-
ports from all over the country indi-
Gate that there is an upward tenden-
Icy in business. Lam of the opinion,
in fact, am sure that the low water
mark was reached some time ago and
that it is now thing of the past.
I am not speaking about the. busi-
ness in which I am engaged, but the
press all over the country reports
better trade conditions. You know
conditions cannot remain at stand
still very long. Either they must go
forward or backward, one Of the
two. And no man or business con-
Germ possessed sof spirit and pluck
will tolerate a backward movement.
/ am looking forward to busy fall
and winter so far as trade conditions
are concerned"

Getting Ready For Big Fair.

A force of about fifty men, con-
sisting of carpenters, roof paint
ers, bricklayers, whitewashers and
ordinary laborers, under the su-
pervision of E. C. Hanson, are at
work at the fair grounds getting
things ready for the big fair which
opens October 2. The dancing pavil-
ion which was too near the track
fence has been moved back several
feet. The roof is being extended
and a gallery added all around for
the greater comfort and convenience
of the dancers as well as the on
lockers.
A floor has been laid in the big
automobile display building and sew
eral glass transons have been in
stalled so as to afford ample light
to the interior. The several buildings
and fences are being whitewashed
and a general cleaning and polishing
up is going on, SO that everything
will be "spic and span" for the open
ing day.

GOOD WINDOW DISPLAYS.
Splendid Showing Made by Big
Local Concerns.

The Fashion Store has two par
ticularly attractive show windows
this week2one devoted to fall styles
for women and misses, the other for
mems ,ands boys furnishings. The
window in which the styles for la
dies are displayed is especially at
tractive. In it there are two models,
both wearing costumes of the latest
design, and surrounding the models
there are numerous other articles of
wearing apparel attractive to the eye
Of the fair sex. In the other window
the one devoted to mems furnish
ings, there are hats, caps, shoes,
gloves and many other articles ar
ranged in tasty display, all Of them
of the very latest fashions. The man.
ner in which the windows are dressed
would be a credit to stores in much
larger cities than Donaldsonville,
and they reflect good taste on those
who arranged the display. There is
art in dressing a store window the
same as there is art in painting,
writing or modelling from clay.
Something equally as good must
be said about the window display
at METERS. This store also has
magnificent display of fall and VIM
ter goods both for men, women and
children, and the arrangement is such
that it is attracting a great deal of
attention. It requires genius to
make good window display, and
it is evident that Meters has some
one in charge of that work who un-
derstands his business. The windows
are we'll worth seeing.

A New Delicious Beverage.

delaware Punch" is the name of
the new delicious drink being turned
out at the big bottling plant of Mon
tero & Brande. This beverage has
a flavor peculiarly it's own, which is
very pleasant to the taste and salts
flying to the thirst and sprang imme-
diately into popular favor. The ever
increasing demand for this partlcu-
lar drink shows how generally its
good qualities are appreciated.
Coco-cola, root beer, cherry blossom,
crushed fruit and other refreshing
drinks manufactured by the plant, are
holding their own. There are none
better made and none made under
cleaner and more sanitary conditions:
The big plant is kept running full
time to meet the big demand.

TAD'S IlD-BI TS
THE HEAOLOCK HAS GONE TO
 HIS HEAD

Do you think there's a wrestler alive who would have chance with Jack Dempsey in rough and tumble light? Sounds good Yes, II does if you don't care what you say A rough and tum. ble fight is nothing more than hitting while down and so forth
 Anyway. Stranglcr Lewis Was inter- viewed by someone out West recently and here is what he let go.
 "I believe | could go into back room with Jack Dempsey. where every thing went and could make him quit. In the courso of my training | roughod it with fighters and never saw one tNW couldn't throw about as pleased. It was only year ago that l had big heavyweight in my camp told him to cut loose in his style and lick me if ha could. and | would tear away in my style He never hit me hard enough to hur, Inc. and before he know it ] had him flat un his back and ! could have given him terrible drubbng. Not only do | believe that I could whip Dempsey in a rough and tumble but believe any good heavy weight wrestler could do the same thing
 "Of course, in regular boxing neith- CT nor any other wrestler would have a chance. Dempsey would lick us easily But in a rough and tumble Dempsey or any heavyweight boxer would have fine time reaching my jaw or any other vulnerable point I, would go into him all doubled up like a howknot and once got my hands on him he would be at my mercy"
 We remember one night at Madison Square Garden when Zbyszko buttod . Lewis with his head and the latter went to the floor and stayed there . fully two minutes. He didn't look as though he's ever get up It wasn't such tough bump either. Game guys these wrestlers. Wonder what he'd do if DEMPSEY EVER HIT HIM ON THE CHIN WITH 4 RIGHT2 A BULL SAYS THAT'S THE BULL Dear "Tad":
 Will you kindly give the sporting public an oycful of the following.
 Ever since Jack Dempsey knocked the Frog for a row of fur lined bath houses We have been reading lot about Henry Darniellc. the Washing on cop. who cleaned mp twenty hoboos n one shot
