Drivers Who Smashed Records at Indianapolis and Chicago to Be Seen. GREAT PROGRAM IS PREPAREC J. leo Sloan Makes Plans- Days of Races Will Be Given. -Three The fastest automobile races ever seen at the Illinois State Fair will be given on the two opening days, September 17 and 18, and on the last day, September 25. A program is being arranged by the great automobile expert, J.

Alec Sloan, that IB a world-beater. He has not announced the personnel of the drivers, as yet, but he has his pick of the of the-Indianapolis and Chicago speedways. Some of the old favorites also will be included in the program. The race course at the Illinois State Pair is 'considered the best circular dirt course in the.United States. It has recently been resoiled.

It is full regulation pattern, quarter turns and quarter stretches, and is perfectly tiled. Wonderful time was made on the track by the speed kings who were fcere last year, but the Indianapolis find Chicago races developed startling possibilities of speed. Try for World Records. Owing to the perfection of the track, the auto drivers always try to set world records for circular course when they drive at the State Fair. It affords an excellent opportunity, and spectators at the races this year will see some wonderful racing.

These races are to be held under the rules governing the International Motor Contest Association. On the final day of the automobile races there will be a race between the winner of the races and an aero- plane. 'This will be one of the most interesting features of the fair. The State.Board of Agriculture Is makiug special efforts this year to have all of the exhibits on the grounds when the.fair opens. Those who coma early to see the races will find the fair ready for them.

The exhibits will not be removed until the close of the fair. The opening day is early this year, and the danger of bad weather is lessened, therefore. With a perfect track and some of the best drivers in the world, the races alone will be worth the trip' to Springfield. HAPPY HOLLOW LETTER. ONE ADMISSION FEE TO COVER NIGHT DISPLAYS.
