In the last day’s auto races on the world’s record track, Ralph DePalma in his 60 horse power Fiat broke seven world’s records, all pre¬ viously held by himself, including the mile record in competition and against time, which he lowered to 50 4-5 sec¬ onds, which was 1-5 second faster than the record he made last year on this track. The motor cycle mile record was lowered to one minute flat also.— :en expres; r?L "Si Wisconsin State Pair Greets Enormous Aggregation with Hearty Welcome. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 16.— The Great Parker Shows, as seen at the state fair, have created a profound impres¬ sion. Vast crowds have been surging through the many concessions since the show opened and entire satisfaction has been expressed on all sides. Elmer Wal- ith the shows during . _ Minnesota state fair, _ _ Minnesota State Fair was certainly a thing of beauty. From the showman’s standpoint it was truly the biggest ever. Bert Gregory, the presid¬ ing genius, had a keen perception of what the public demanded and he car¬ ried his end of the burden of the great annual institution to the very heights of perfection. The Parker shows were pitched most satisfactorily and the merry pike was thronged from breakfast until bed-time. It is claimed that the Parker shows broke all previous records as to attend¬ ance. C. W. Parker, Mrs. Parker and baby Louise, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy and incidentally forming ideas for the future. Two unusual men I met last week are Earnie May, chief publicity man for the fair proper, and Henry Warner, a former story dreamer for Sarah Bernhardt and at present on the staff of the St. Paul Dispatch. War¬ ner is the biggest general story coverer extant. Doc. Turner is making good with his characteristic lectures and C. N. Fairley is now operating the Parker Annex with marked success. He who hung on for the big Fairs has reaped his just reward.” Chicago Team a Big Hit. Cecil Dean and Florence Holbrook, who incidentally are husband and wife, are two exceptions who prove the rule that Chicago’s musical comedy favor¬ ites do not generally score pronounced hits in the East. For six seasons the names of this clever pair were as in¬ separably connected with the La Salle theater in Chicago as were those of Hough and Howard, who wrote the books and music of the pieces in which Lean and Holbrook appeared. Their suc¬ cess seems to follow them into what¬ ever territory they choose, due largely to the songs they write and sing so much better than any one else could. Strenuous efforts are being made in Fort Dodge to get a theater erected to re¬ place the Midland which burned nearly two yeprs ago. A. B. Beal of Sioux City and John T. Gleason are co-operating in an effort which may culminate in the building of a suitable house.—TUCKER. '
