FAIR UTAH ABROAD.
Buffalo Bidding to Boom Our
BOunteOus Resources,
FREE, GRATIS, FOR NOTHING.
The Proposition Under Consideration by the
D.. A. and NJ. Society to Send an
Exhibit to Buffalo.
FREE, GRATIS, FOR NOTHING.
All are talking of Utah.

At least it is fair TO assume that Utah is
receiving large percentage of outside at
tention, and fortunately the attention is not
of the same disadvantageous sort it for
merly was, but of directly the opposite
character. Below is a letter received by
the secretary of the Deseret Agricultural
and Manufacturing society, which gives ex-
preston to the views of the Buffalo Inter
national Fair association of Buffalo, New
York, relative to the resources of our ter
ritOry and which explains ITSELF
! Dear sir-I d9sire to call your attention
to the Buffalo international fair as a very
favorable place for your territory to pre-
| sent its resources to the people OF the east.
| The geographical location of Buffalo makes
| il at once very deSirable-lOcated at the
foot of Lake Erie on Niagara river
twenty-five miles from Lake Ontario
touched by twenty two lines of railroads
! the trading point of a large part OF Canada
the metropolis of a country of 200 miles
radius all of which is tributary to it, makes
| it unequalled as centre OF trade
and commerce. Not only is Buffalo
noted for its retail business, but it is the
great wholesale centre between New York
and Chicago. The coal and grain business
is immense and the lake traffic large and
growing The prosperity of Buffalo and
the public spiritedness of her citizens has
| placed her head and shoulders above all her
sister cities The population is 900 and
! growing steadily.
THE BUFFALO INTERNATIONAL FAIR
! is stock company backed by the leading
business men of the city and has capital
of $450,00O. The cash premiums last year
amounted to 100000. The average attend
ance for the ten days was over 10000. The
grounds are situated in the geographical
centre of the city and contain ninety-hve
acres. The main building is the largest
| fair building in the world. Besides the
main building we have large art gallery,
club house, hotel, grand stands, poultry
house, blood horse stables, cattle stable,
sheep and swine building and speed horse
stable LOCO feet long. Five mile track for
horse racing and fast one-haf mile bicycle
track.
| | have above briefly outlined the facili-
! ties afforded at the Buffalo fair, and now |
want to make you proposition:
If your territory will make us a fine dis
! play of grain, fruits, vegetables, minerals
! and resources generally at our next fair,
September Sd to 18th, and will put them up
! in attractive shape, we will furnish yon
| free in our main building all the space
necessary for you to do it in properly. Be
sides this
We WILL BOOM YOUR EXHIBIT
as one of our leading attractions in go of
the leading papers of the east with which
we have contracts.
The usual charge for space in our main
| building is 10 cents per square fOOt-we
charge you nothing. Taken altogether
think You will find it hard to make an ex-
hibit in any place that will do you as much
good as here. The prosperity Of the people,
the growing dissatisfaction of Canadian
farmers, the large territory tributary to
this city the great success of the fair last
year and the brilliant future before it all
point to u grander success for 1889.
If your department has no appropriation
for carrying on work of this kind and you
think favOrably of exhibiting here l will
gladly correspond with your legislature,
giving them an idea of the magnitude OF
this institution, thereby making 1t much
easier for you to secure money for makinga
display.
Under separate cover today send you
COPY of the souvenir edition of the Express
and file of the Journal published by the as
ISOLATION, that will be of interest 10 you.
Please consider the matter Of coming
here and showing with Us. It IS grand
opportunity for you.
Awaiting your reply, l am,
Yours truly,
B. F. TAYLOR,
Genl Supt.
Alta meeting of the board of directors Of
the Deseret Agricultural and Manufacture
ing society last evening a full quorum
failed to put in an appearance and though
the above letter was read and informally
considered no definite conclusions were ar
riven at
As previously noted in THE HERALD the
Buffalo international fair is no small con
Germ. The daily attendance at its expoSi-
ton of 1888 was larger than that OF any eX-
position ever held in America, the centen-
NAL alone excepted. 1t opens on Septem-
ber3. and closes on September 13 next It
is asserted there is no place in the world
where an exhibition from this territory
would be viewed by as many people IN so
short time and with as little expense, as
at the international fair il Buffalo. What
will the harvest be:
