GRAND CIRCUIT RACES AND HORSE
SHOW WILL BE FEATURE OF FAIR
Southeastern Fair Racing Prize List Totals $34,000 —Midway And “Lark
Land” Bigger And Better Than Ever —Free Vaudeville Attractions

Atlanta, Ga., -(Special).—The most I
famous aggregation of horses and j
drivers ever assembled on a race track |
in America will take part in the 1917 ;
Grand Circuit races, at the Southeast- '
ern Fair, October 13-20. Trotters and :
pacers holding w’orld records, and j

The magnificent success of the
Grand Circuit races in 191 G« has made
them a permanent annua! feature of
the Southeastern Fair, which will in
crease in importance and interest
Striking Scenes from 1916 Grand Circuit Races —The Prize Lists and
Entries Are Even Larger this Year.
with every succeeding year, and will
assure tlie people of the South a
yearly opportunity to witness tiie
greatest races on the American conti
nent. It hu- been aptly said that
the Grand Circuit race: represent in
the world of Hport what the annual
season of Mi tropolttan Grand Opera
represents In tlie world of music—
they have no superior in the world.
The Southeastern Fairgrounds at
Lakewood, as people who attended tlie
races last year will recall, afford- an
ideal sotting for the Grand Circuit
races. The fast one-mile track is
built in a wide sweeping oval, around
a lake, nestling among wooded hills.
The concrete grandstand has a seating
capacity of 9,000 people, and overlooks
every point on tlie course. In fact, to
spectators situated anywhere near
the race track, the horses are visible
during every moment, as the track
circles the margin of the lake for its
entire course.
The racing events will be in charge
of Scott Hudson, chairman of the
racing committee, again tins year, and
the eighteen big events will be:

Sharing interest for horse lovers
with the Grand Circuit races, wall be
the daily horse show exhibits, featured
before the grand stand, in which prizes
aggregating $2,500 have been offered
This big feature of the fair is in
I charge of A. C. Congdon, as chairman,
and the, entry list is already larger
i than last year. The exhibits will in-
I elude light harness horses, standard
j brt-ds, draft horses, saddle horses,
I combination horses, stallions, brood
mares, Shetland ponies, and mules.
The Percheron Society of America
ha;- offered twenty-six silver and
bronze trophies and medals as special
prizes in the Percheron class.
in addition to the daily exhibits,
there will be night horse shows
which will be among the big social
features of the fair.
Big Dog Show Feature
The largest dog show ever held la
the South will be another interesting
feature of the fair. The show will be
held under the auspices of The At
lanta Kennel Club, in a fire-proof
building on the fair grounds especially
for the dogs.
In addition to competition among
fine registered dogs of practically ev
ery known breed, a spec al local class
has been arranged in order to en
courage all Georgia breeders and own
ers to enter their dogs in the show.
This class is arranged to include any
dog in Georgia, and your dog does
not need to be registered to be shown.
If your dog lias no pedigree, the only
way it can over be registered is to
show it and win. Entries close Oc
tober 3rd.
Midway And Amusements
In addition to the big Midway,
which will have the Patterson Car
nival Company attractions, the best
and most attractive in the amusement
world, visitors to the Southeastern
Fair will be entertained with a great
variety of brilliant free attractions
every day and night, including vaude
ville shows, spectacular stunts, brass
band concerts and elaborate finew-orks.
Several of the finest brass bands
obtainable will be playing in different
parts of the fair ground at all hours
and the musical features will be of a
nature to appeal to everybody.
The free fireworks exhibits this
year have been gone into on a very
large and elaborate scale, to include
nightly immense spectacular set
pieces of patriotic and military na
ture. These fireworks alone will be
well worth the trip to Atlanta to see,
though they will be merely one inci
dent among the many big features
provided for the amusement and en
tertainmem of the fair ground crowds.
