The Detroit Exposition

The Detroit International Fair and Expositlon Assocation has appolnted Mr. T. F. B. Sotham, of Pontiac#manaiLer, and, guided by the past three years' experience, bas decided npon changes and additional attractiona, whlch will make this year's expositton ( Angust 23 to September 2), not only superior to any previously held ín Detroit, but superior in many respects to any yet held in the country. One of the improvements which, as mach as ny other, is calcnlated to popularize this intituüon is a vast amphitheater, the arena of ■which ii one-fifth of a mile in circumference and ioatinir 40,000. At on Bidé of th bandstand. In the arena, cattle wUl be Judged, on the opposite fde draft horses, and in the outer círcle saddle and harneas horsen. The Detroit Exposition has in previous years brooit ogether the flnest displays of stock ever een In t Is country. There is every indication that this year's exhibition in thnt line will excel any that have preceded it. With the method proposed for judging animáis, the stock eihibits will be prought before thousands of people wlio have heretofore paid but little attontioa to this importi.nt branch of the country's wealth. In this arena, at stated hours daii there will be a series of special attractions, such as the Roman htppodrcme. cbariot races with four horses driven abreast, midget chariot races, mule races over hurdlos, atbletlc voocests, lilliputian circus, interapereed with popular and classic music by the best bands an.l a great number of other attractions. The general admission to the grounds will also adiuitto the amphitheater, where, cotnfortably seated, all visitors can enioy these varied attractions. The exposition will be not only a pleasant entertainment but an educational lnstitution. As one ineans to this end, the association will invite some of the best speakers iu this country aad Canada to address the peoplo on subjects appropriate to each ol the ten days. The music stand on the lawn in iront of the main building will be ntilized for speakers, and seats provided bo that listeners can be seated within hearing of the spcaker's voice. Th ground floor of the main building will be devoied ezclnsively to the exhibition of manufact;ring in actual ojwration. In previous exhibí tions, this idea has been cnrried out to a limited xtent and the crowds which gathered about the alcove in which these were conducted furnished eidence of the intense interest which attaches to them. Their scope this year will be greatly enlarged, so that visitors will have aliundant opportunity to Bee how .rticles of necessity, comfort and luxury are made. In the women's department the classiflcation has been broadened, so that it is safe to say that household work from parlor to kitchen willbe more intelligently encouraged and illustrated by this exposition that has ever before been attempted by any associaiion in this country. The races on the reinilation track near the south end of the gronnds, which were a popular feature last year, will be continuad, with purses to the amotint of $10,01. Xlany ol the best horses in their several classes will appear in these speed trials, and few meetings offer equal attractions. There will be an unusually good display of agricultural machinery, the protlucts of the farm, otchard and gnrden, ül classes of marrafactured products and articles of household and dome8tic use. Altogether, the Fair of ]S2 will be the grandest in the bistorv of permanent agricultural and industrial exhibilions and will be of such magnitude and varied attractiveness aa to make it proïitable for visitors to remain in atteudance the entire tendays. Itseducational features are such as to commend the aasociation tq every patriotic citizen and to inaure bis active support.
