BY WALTER ]. VINCENT

The Interstate Fair ground at
Springbrook park will take on the
aspects of the international live
stock show today when all the live
stock on the grounds will be lead in
review around the half-mile track.
At 1890 o'clock the parade is sche-
duled 10 start and persons who ad-
mire purebred live stock should then
have an opportunity to feast their
eyes on some Of the most perfect
specimens of beef and dairy cattle
ever assembled in one group in this
locality.
This feature is one which other
fair associations have been employ
ing for a number of years, and the
plan is expected to meet with as
great favor from local fair visitors
as II has from the attendants at fairs
in other places.
Wednesday Mishawaka Day.
Wednesday was Mishawaka day
but that didn't seem TO hinder thous-
ands of South Benders and other St.
Joseph county people from fiocking
to Springbrook park 10 see the splen-
did live stock exhibits, visit the in
dustrial booths, watch the fast
horses and linger for the style show.
Many brought their lunches and
made a day of il and -eVen stayed
until the park closed at the con-
clusion of the fireworks. Through
out the entire day the grounds were
well filed with pleasures seeking
crowds and everyone appeared TO be
enjoying one of the best conducted
fairs St Joseph county has had in
many years.
Strange as il may seem. however,
where one would expect TO see the
largest exhibits at a fair of this kind
| one sees the least. That is the agri-
cultural department Many persons
who have visited the fair are sur
prised at the exceedingly small num-
Der Of farm products exhibits.
Live Stock Exhibit Praised
The live stock department exceeds
even the expectation OF the most
sanguine Of fair officials. but there
are very few potatoes. corn. grains.
fruits and vegetables on display. Dry
weather and poor growing con
ditions are the chief reasons as
! signed for the paucity of the agri-
cultural exhibit.
The live stock exhibit is without
doubt the outstanding feature OF the
fair. considered from an agricultural
standpoint. Some OF the finest blood
