THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

Well-known Detroiter Wins Merited
Promotion

Jacob G. Brown Elevated to Position of State Mdnager
of Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company

The announcement has been
made by the central offices of the
Fidelity- Mutual Life Insurance
Company of the promotion of Mr.
Jacob G. Brown, hitherto assist-
ant manager of the local office, to
the position of general manager
of the company for the state of
Nlichigan.
Mr: Brown has long been prom-
inently identified with local Jew-
ish public affairs. Ile was espe-
cially active in the recent cam-
paign for war relief funds, which
resulted in the collection of over
a hundred thousand dollars, the
third largest amount raised by
any American city. I le is also
well known as the vice-president

Pretentious Program Marks Blue
Ribbon Meeting

With an entry far in excess of
that announced by any other grand
circuit track the annual Blue Ribbon
meeting of the Detroit Driving Club
promises to result in the best racing
ever held on the state fair track.
For the first time in many years
there is not a weak spot in the pro-
gram. Strong as are the stakes they
arc no better than the classes, and
the events for the untried or slow
class trotters and pacers are no
better, proportionately, than those
for the fastest horses.
All of this is a tribute to the
wisdom of the club in aoulid„,,ing
the old and rather tiresome style of
racing and adopting what is known
as the every-heat-a-race plan, races
limited to three heats. As the
money is distributed after each heat
there is an incentive to the drivers
to do their utmost to win a place
among the first four, hence there
will be no lack of contests.
Racing begins on Monday, July
24, when three late closing events
are to be decided. The first of these,
named in honor of the D. A. C.,
like that organization is a record
breaker, for it has 36 entries, and
probably will be raced in divisions.
The 2:18 trot that day has two
dozen and the fast 2 :10 trot lines
up with ten.
Tuesday is Board of Commerce
day, for on that afternoon the fleet
pacers will battle for the $5,000
prize in the classic for their gait.
With the known speed of the party
it promises to be a notable renewal
of this great stake. Flanking it are
the Wayne sweepstakes for three-.
year-olds, in vhich futurity colts
will parade, and the 2:12 pace with
a herd of side-wheelers.

The world famous M. & 11. stake
comes on Wednesday, other attrac-
tions that day being the 2:14
trot and 2 :14 pace, each with
an unusual field. Never has
the M. & M. given promise of
greater speed and harder fought
heats. From ten to twelve will
start and the event bids fair to add
an illuminating chapter to the his-
tory of the American horse—the
trotter.

On Thursday there are two
stakes and the great free for all
pace, in which no fewer than ten are
named, the largest field of all times
as well as the fastest. The Pont-
chartrain stake is for 2:15 trotters
and from ten to fourteen will accept
the issue, while the Griswold stake
for 2 :10 pacers will have about as
many. Each of these should prove
a sterling contest.
