midways and horse racing at fail fairs provided they are of the right ldnd this seemed to be the conclusion reach- ed by the four speakers who took part in a debate orr this oftdlscus sed subject at the annual meeting of the ontario association of agri cultural societies m toronto in early february in addition to this debate lhe several hundred dele gates from all over ontario consi dered every phase of fall fair op eratron leading off for the affirmative on the resolution that too rmibh stress is being placed on midway and horse racing at fairs mrs alex anderson of stratford stated that she felt these features were no longer needed at the fairs in the early days when transportation wa more difficult the tjaces and mid ways were thrill attractions and helped provide funds for bigger ptilzes however modern transpor tation has made it possible for patrons to see such attractions else where and she felt they no longer were a major factor in attracting patrons to back up her viewpoint mrs anderson mentioned several fairs where little use was made of the races and midway at stratford the fair has become an expression of community spirit they have combined with the junior chamber of commerce to put on a combi industrial show agricultural and with excellent results the teeswater fair is known far and wide as a great agricultural show which has greatly increased attendance by concentrating on their agricultural exhibits they have no races and only rides for chil vdren at mckillop they have made handicrafts a specialty with the women s institutes and junior far mers tplaylng a big part success without races she concluded that as the show window of agriculture a fair should put first things first this would mean emphasis on the agricultural program if the fair is well organ izid exhibitb arc well displayed and the show is well advertised it will be successful without the ra ces iiid midwjy mrs anderson stated miss charlotte mccullouth of georgetown leader for the nega tive showed a very different view point she agreed the agricultural show should be good but telt the races and midway were an essen tnl part of the fair people want pleasure as well aa education at their fair even in getting the pleasure the young people learn things too as an example she pointed out it was worthwhile for the young lad to lose a little money at a booth it was often a cheap lesson tory gregg of wlngham well- known in wjestern ontario as a starter of harness races was second speaker for the affirmative his viewpoint was simply ghat there was no place at any fair for either a broken down midway or poor race horses many of the midways appearing at small fairs were a disgrace they set up at the gates of the shop gypped the patrons and gave everyone a bad impression of the fair instead he felt service clubs would be glad to set up am- usements wich wo bg worth while at the smaller shows he felt much the same about the race horses many of the horses appearing at smaller fairs should never be allowed on the track when people came to see a race they were entitled to a good one as he put it this is the sport of kings lets keep it on a high plane to do this mr gregg felt strict ad herence to rules putting out hor ses which did not meet the stan dards was the first step then pro per facilities for the horses and strict enforcement of having the horses ready for proper starting would help ray wilson of avonmore as the second speaker for the negative led off with the point that while fairs are educational you must get the people out if they are to be educa ted he felt the midways and races brought ourmuelrof the attendance then while at the show they see the agricultural exhibit and get their education too he added that the increased attendance caused by mid ways and races helped finance the fairs and made it possible to pay good prize money without them many fairs would fold up accord ing to mr wilson while some clahn light horses are not agricultural he said he had heard it stated there was more farm income in canada from raising standard bred horses than from raising of heavy horses while the debate drew a crowd of some five hundred the delegates gave attention to many other mat ters w r walker of fort william had some interesting points on keeping out of the red a fair is like any sound business the first thing to develop is a strong organ ization headed by an active board representative ol the various inter ests of the community next the condition of the plant is of vital importance buildings and alt fac titties must be kept in good shape exhibits must be attractively dis played ahd judges of high calibre employed finances irc all important he felt admission was frequently too low no one appreciated
