THE FAIR.

alive to, and every effort quickened for, producing the greatest show on earth. The annual fair will this season be worthy of the considera- tion ofevery exhibitor; every lover of manufactures and of art; of every one interested in the progress, wealth and fame of New Mexico.
 A premium list of $10,00O.0O. Think of it, ye who may be alive and able to reach Albuquerque on the 29th day of September, 1885; ye who have horses to speed or min erals to show; thoroughbred cattle to exhibit, beefcattle to sell or cows for the dairy; horses for labor or mules to kick jacks to exhibit the various stages of melancholia, or burros for sweepstakes; ye who have affinity for division D, owned and occupied by Gutierrez and Daggs, wool pullers and mutton raisers for the million, just opposite the Berkshire hog pens in class 13 and IA, and think of it all chicken hearted men and "big geese" of the standard variety, also all 'little ducks" that here is your opportuni- ty for raise of reputation and for tune. Sight seers and admirers of the feathered tribe don't fail to beam upon division F, and espe- cially on class 15.
 Go to the fair, all ye who would enjoy the luscious pear and the juicy apple, the distracting peach and sentimental grape. All Arizo- nians and New Mexicans should go to the fair; all trades and occupa- tions should contribute toward it's interest. Bring out your wheat. corn, rye, broom-corn and alfalfa ;; fetch along babies, pug-dogs and mocking-birds, anything to fill up, most anything will be enjoyable by Q. D. (quill-driver) Newcomb and Louis Tuning.
 And what more shall we say? time would fail us to tell of the carrots, beets, rum and onions, parsnips, caulifower and half a dozen heads of green peas, who through the superintendency of Capt. Vose and the assistance of Mrs. L. B. Prince, will stop the mouths of the yelping hash-house feeder, quench the violence of the gin and milk iend, and will put to flight the army of the growlers.
 The gem of the fair will be the class 20, under the guidance of those embryo dudes Manzanares and Torlina. They don't propose to have on their lists any thing over 14-clever chaps they-wo'nt they be daisies on the award.
