THE STATE FAIR AT PONTIAG SEPT. 22-26

The present outlook for a large fair is most gratifying to the management. The success of last year surprised everyone and gave the fair an impetus which will be felt  in the improvements which will be added this year. Several new features will be introduced and special attractions added.

There will be no lack of transportation on steam railroads this year. Trains will run every hour from Brush street depot. Detroit, and from country points enough trains will be run to carry all passengers direct to the grounds.

Arrangements have been made with the state fish commission to make a magnificent display, and one wing of the main building has been set aside entirely for that exhibit. More space Is being sold for the exhibition of agriculture and kindred displays than ever before. The state highway commission will make specimen stone roads during the state fair week, giving everyone interested an opportunity to see how good the roads in Michigan can be made. The Agricultural College will make a large exhibition. A fancy military drill company from Jackson will be an unusually interesting feature and one never before undertaken.
