A meeting of the board of directors of
the Deseret Agricultural and Manufactur-
ing society was held at President Law
rence's office last evening, and the ar
for the coming fair were fully
discussed. Many new and attractive fea
lures will be added this year. Besides the
special features of marriage on the
grounds, to which application has already
been made by one youthful couple, and the
baby show, arrangements are being made
for balloon ascensions and parachute leaps.
The secretary has beengin correspondence
with several 8ronauts for the past few
weeks, aud definite arrangements will be
made before long.
A large number of special premiums
have also been offered by a number of our
merchants and public spirited citizens.
Among them f. Auerbach & Bro offer so
each for the largest and best cultivated
piece of ground devoted to strawberries,
grapes, peaches, plums and pears, $50 in
all.

UNION STOCK YARDS
The Stockholders Have an En-
thusiastic Meeting.
FOR THE UTAH FAIR
Perfecting Details for the Irrigation Congress
at Which Thousands Of People
Will be Present.

A year ago the proposition to establish
stock yards in the close proximity of Salt
Lake evoked considerable interest among
some of our most prominent citizens.
Since then, however, it has fallen into a
lethargic sleep.
j. W. Rodefer, who was the active spirit
in the enterprise and whose solid business
qualities enlisted the support of a number
of wealthy men in Kansas City and Omaha,
together with the prominent railway Off
Gals, has been on the ground for several
weeks and gathered up the lost thread,
which he held, waiting an improvement in
the money market.
The financial stringency is letting up and
Mr.. Rodefer has began moving on the
works. The surveys of the tracks have
been completed and the grading of a spur
nearly mile long is nearly done.
An enthusiastic meeting of stockholders,
at which two thirds of the stock was rep
resented, was held yesterday afternoon at
the chamber of commerce. The outside
parties are ready to put up $50, 600 II Salt
Lake will come up with S21 900. A resolu-
ton pedging to give the enterprise the
necessary financial aid was passed. Among
| those present were: j. M. Stout, president
of the Utah National bank, Hon. w. H.
Irvine, E. b. Wicks, w. H. Remington,
r. c. Chambers, Rudolph Aft, Sam Nc
Intyre, Robert Burton. A. E. de Ricqles,
| H. p. Mason and ]. w. Rodefer.
This looks like business, and is not only
calculated to make Salt Lake the centre
cattle market. but the great entrepot for
the sheep and wool industry
The articles of incorporation were
changed so as to make seven instead OF
thirteen directors quorum for the trans
action of business.

SPORTING SPLINTERS

Nothing but the forthcoming battle be-
tween Williams and Morrison was talked
OF in sporting circles yesterday, and the
authorities all agree that it will be the
greatest contest that ever occurred in this
territory. Williams has been in training
for nearly two months past, and he has
been receiving his finishing touches under
the direction of Slade at the old race track.
de is now IN perfect condition and in the
language of Colonel Kelley lis fit to fight
for his life" Williams, although modest
fellow, has plenty of confidence in his own
ability, and is confident that the title of
champion of Utah, which be has held for
year past, viii remain with him. He is
under thirty years DID, aud will weigh
about one hundred and sixty five pounds
when he enters the ring. He has haG many
hard fights and has never suffered defeat.
The best work ever done by him was when
he put Mike Sullivan to sleep in
/ limited number of rounds q short
time ago. Morrison has been prominent
figure in the ring for some years. He is
now 81 years old and will tip the beam at
l65 pounds. He has been training under
the direction of La Blanche who will sec
ond him. He has good reputation as q
| fighter, is a hard hitter and a good general.
The opera house in Ogden has been Sc
cured Tor the encounter and every arrange
ment has been completed. A big delegation
from this city will be at the ring side, and
both railroads will run special trains for
their accommodation. Williams, accom-
panied by Colonel Kelley and some personal
! friends, will go up TO Ogden on the Union
Pacific train leaving here at 1925 Tuesday
morning. Another crowd will go up on the
train leaving here at 3 80 p M, and the
Union Pacific will also run special train
| leaving here at p. m, which will take the
bulk of the crowd. A special will leave
Ogden directly after the fight. Round trip
tickets are being sold at $3.50.
The Rio Grande Western will also run q
special, leaving this city at p. m. and re-
turning after the fight, and rate of 81 sc
for the round trip will be charged. This
road will also sell tickets to go up in the
evening, with supper, room and breakfast
at the Reed house, for those who wish to
remain over night and return in the morn
ing, at s. each.
OF course there will be a great many who
are interested in the result who will not bt
able to 60 up, and for their accommodation
Colonel Kelley has arranged to receive bull
letins of the rounds at both of his houses.

The Irrigation Congress.

The general committee OF arrangements
held an important meeting last night. The
committee has ex tended invitations to $40
mayors in the states west of the Missouri
river, to appoint delegates, the mayor of
each city TO be eX- officio chairman of the
respective delegations. Two hundred and
fifty receivers and registers of land offices
and surveyor-generals are also appointed
delegates. Two hundred boards of trade,
cham bers of commerce, agricultural and
mechanical fairs and scientific societies
have also been asked to name delegates
The governor of each western state and
territory has appointed 30 delegates, him
self to be chairman, and, in all, there will
be about 1000 delegates named.
AS the railroads have made rate of one
fare for the round trip open to the general
public, the indications are that Salt Lake
city will receive several thousand visitors
during the week of September 10 to II.
Every prospective delegate has received
personal letter enclosing prospectus of
the congress, together with carefully pre-
pared pamphlet setting forth the attrac-
tons OF Salt Lake city and the advantages
of Utah.
One thousand FIVE hundred and sixty
newspapers, located in the cities from
which delegates have been requested, have
been furnished with the prospectus of the
committee and special articles on Salt Lake
city and Utah
East of the Missouri river 9, 900 agricul-
tural and other societies interested in the
congress has been arranged with for
special articles. The several railroads in
terested in bringing people to the congress
have distributed thousands of posters call
ing special attention to Salt Lake city and
Utah.
Every effort possible will be used to in.
duce the attendance of every delegate
named and to attract as large number oil
people as possible who are not delegates
1t is not yet distinctly known whether
the congress will be held in the theater or
the Exposition building.
For the entertainment of visitors the
railroads have agreed to give one-third
rate for side trips from Salt Lake City and
return. The beet sugar people at Leht
want them to visit their factory and see
the operation on the first beet sugar crop
raised entirely by irrigation.
Members of Congress and all depart
mental officers of the government inter
ested in irrigation have been invited, as
also representatives from the leading daily
| and illustrated papers.
The railroad rates are one fare for the
round trip, good three days coming anG
three days returning, with stop over priv
leges, while the limit will be to September
30th from the starting point. Tickets
from Colorado and western points will be
on sale September ID.
