Visitors are generally ciassed BY the
inclinations they display once they
get within the grounds. The automo-
bile fancser gocs to the building where
| the latest model cars are displayed
and gloats over them for an hour or
more. The farmers are found down
In the big tents where labor saving
implements are displayed or up in the
big structure where the farm products
are on exhibition. The women go TO
the booths where the sewing and pre-
serving exhibits are TO ba found and
50 on, each according to their favorite
interests. All of course are keen about
the amusements and the riskSer these
are the better they are enjoyed and
the more they attract. The showmen
say II is remarkable how people win
risk their own necks Just TO see some
one else take chance and possibly
run perilously Close to being killed.
But there is always the ono big and
universal attraction and this is the
horse. The thoroughhreds on exhibit
ton at the horse show arc always
sure of big gallery for men women
and children apparently have an in
born love for the noble beasts. The
show ring is always circled by row
after row of keenly attentive and
admiriug faces and when it comes to
the races on the half mile tract a pop
ular and universal cord seems 10 be
touched for they never fail to draw
the thousands of visitors. Other ex-
hibitions or shows may appeal but
after seeing them the visitors are
satisfied. Men women and children will
sit all afternoon To see the blooded
animals strive with might and main
in the exciting races around the oval
and after the last race has been fin
ishcd they viii be ready to return the
next day to see the additional con-
tests Of this kind. THERE they viii
have the double attraction of seeing
something everyone loves and I'm adj
dition they find the excitement and
thrill furnished by the racing which
they are seeking.
After the rounds have been made, all
the shows witnessed and the last race
over there is the mad rush for the
cars, everyone for himself or herself,
none caring for his fellow man but
good natured withall and always
ready TO laugh at the slightest provo
cation, The big trait of the American
public the show people say.
