GRAND CIRCUIT RACES AND GREAT
CATTLE SNOW, FEATURES OF FAIR
Atlanta. —(Special.)—It is a for
tunate thing for the lovers of
good sport throughout the South
east that the famous Grand
■Circuit races will be brought to At
lanta by the Southeastern Fair As
sociation this year for the first time.
| In its very beginning the Southeast
ern Fair has been able to secure the
best racing of the entire United States,
and this will be seen upon a magnifi
cent mile track during the entire week
of the fair from October 14 to 21, 1916,
Inclusive.
The Grand Circuit races are the very
(highest type of events seen on any
race track in the world, and the char
acter and quality of them may he
judged when it is known that it was
i. -V / * v < * W * jßgjf / I \ J

Trotting Track.
necessary to raise purses aggregating
$25,000 as prizes in order to get them
here. This is horse racing purely for
the sport’s sake and from which all
«f the objectionable element has been
eliminated. The Southeastern Fair
Association has given the Grand Cir
cuit races a foremost place among the
amusements prepared for the week.
The races will be run every after
noon during the fair on the new mile
track built around the beautiful lake
at Lakewood. So far as is known,
there is no other track in this country
built around the banks of a lake upon
which there is every opportunity for
boating, bathing and water sports.
The racing events are in charge of
Scott Hudson as superintendent, one
of the South’s best known horsemen.
The six big events of the week will
be:
No. 1 —2:08 Class wotting, “The
Georgia Railway and
Power Cup” $2,500
No. 2—2:15 class trotting, “The
Devereaux” 2,000
For horses that have
never won $2,000 gross
on a mile track with no
record faster than
2:14*4.
No. 3 —2:12 class pacing, “The
Piedmont Hotel Cup” . 2,000
No. 4—2:00 class pacing, “The
Coca-Cola Cup” .... 2,000
No. 5 —2:15 class trotting, for 3-
year-olds, added money. 500
No. 6 —Twmyear-old class trot
ting, for all 2-year-olds,
added money 500
Fifteen More Big Purses
Fifteen purses, nothing less than
$1 ,000 each, for class races to suit ev- 1
erybody will be announced later, the
entries to close September 19. Rec
ords made on or after September IS j
will be no bar. The money will be
divided 50, 25, 15 and 10 per cent.
The Devereaux special, early clos
ing event will be raced in three heats; j
S4BO for the first heat; S6OO for the
•second heat, and $720 for the third j
heat. A horse entered in these events
shall be eligible to start in them until
he has won $7,000 gross, whereupon
he becomes ineligible to start again,
and all entrance money in the stakes
in which he has become ineligible shall
be refunded.
The Coca-Cola early closing event
will be raced in three heats; S6OO for
the first heat; S7OO for the second
heat; S6OO for the third heat, and SIOO
to the winner. The purses in each
heat will be divided as in the Dever
eaux special.
As big and important as are the
Grand Circuit races, they are only one
of the many large and interesting fea
tures of the fair. There is, for in
stance, the horse show. Throughout
the fair horse shows will be featured.
Each day before the grand stand there
will be an exhibition of light harness
horses, standard breds, draft horses,
saddlers, combinations, stallions and
brood mares. The Percheron Society
of America has offered thirteen med
als as special prizes in the events of
this class of horses, in addition to |
which there are premiums aggregat-;
ing $1,586.
Then there is the night horse show
■which will be the social feature of
the fair, and in which will be included
contests in riding and driving for
■which premiums amounting to $2.654
have been offered. There will likewise.
I be provision for exhibition of harness
horses and ponies.
Big Features Numerous
While the Grand Circuit will bring
to Atlanta the finest horse racing ever
seen in the South, the Southeastern
Fair Association has arranged at the
same time to present to the farmers
and people of this section the best
and most complete cattle show ever
seen in the southern states.
Of the $60,000 in prize money of
fered in the various departments of
the fair, more than SIO,OOO of the
amount will be given for displays of
fine cattle.
In the showing made will be the
famous American Royal Live Stock
exhibit which will come direct here
at the close of the cattle show in Kan
sas City. The magnitude of this single
; exhibit alone will be appreciated when
it is known that it comprises eighty
| solid freight cars loaded with cattle
and divided into four trains. In the
cattle exhibit will be seen an even
more extensive showing of famous
Herefords than was presented here for
the first time last year. The Ameri
[ can Hereford Cattle Breeders’ Associa
tion is in charge of this particular ex
hibit in connection with which $5,000
in prizes have been offered.
Other exhibits of high class pure
bred cattle will include Shorthorns,
Aberdeen Angus, Polled Durhams, Red
Polled Cattle, Jerseys, Holstein-Frie
j sians and Guernseys, for which classes
over $5,000 more is offered.
The Great Cattle Show
The practical side of the cattle in
dustry will be well illustrated in a
model dairy and cow contest, in which
new and modern dairy machinery will
be shown and exhibits of butter and
other products manufactured right on
the fair grounds.
But this is not all of the live stock
display. A special train of thirty cars
will bring one hog exhibit from Omaha
to the Southeastern Fair. Premiums
aggregating $8,419 have been offered
in this department aside and apart
from those for cattle. The American
Duroc-Jersey Swine Breeders’ Associa-
I tion, the American Hampshire Swine
Record association, and the American
Berkshire Breeders’ Association will
guarantee a large percentage of the
prize money for the best exhibits of
these breeds. For the accommodation
of spectators during the judging and
sale of animals huge pavilions have
been constructed on the fair grounds,
and large expensive barns have been
erected to house the stock.
Sheep will constitute a different de
partment in which $3lB in prize money
will be distributed. Mules and jacks
will be exhibited in open competition
for prizes ranging from S2O to $5.
Next comes the Atlanta Poultry
Show, regarded as the foremost ex
hibition of its kind in the South, The
numerous entries received by Mana
ger R. M. StTiplin already Indicate that
this is to be a nation-wide affair. There
ife scarcely a known variety of chicken
which will not be on exhibition, and
fancy and utility chickens will also
be shown. The poultry exhibit has
been divided into two sections, while
separate showings will be made of
turkeys, ducks and geese.
Boys artd Girls, Too
In connection with this exhibit the
Boys’ and Girls’ Poultry clubs of Geor
gia will hold their contests and many
cash prizes, scholarships and so on
will be awarded for the best display.
The foregoing features would make
a great fair in themselves, but they
are only a few of the things which the
Southeastern Fair will offer to visitors
here in October. The Fair, as a whole
will be a magnificent exposition of the
agricultural, industrial and educational
progress of the South. Every known
agricultural product will be featured.
There will be modern agricultural ma
chinery; there will be model cottages;
thA annual Georgia Corn Show; the
Girls’ Canning Club show; an extern
sive and varied showing of woman’s
work in all lines. There will be ex
hibits shown from every county in
Georgia and from many of those in
neighboring and adjoining states.
