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.

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. THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. l)( UCLAS, GEORGIA, Sept. 30 1916. Notice!
