Exposition plans feature prize races and grand light displays
The article describes a vast exposition with a racing track for international speed and harness events, a two year old trotting race with a $25,000 purse, stock and livestock pavilions, and a government life saving display. Illumination uses purple and gold tones, with giant searchlights and colored effects over the palaces. It also recounts a London court incident where a box of toilet powder caused a scare amid suffragette activity.
