meeting OF the WORK ingmen's delegates
held in this city last night letters were
read from Lord Salisbury and Balfour
saying that they could not promise to
receive the deputation to set forth their
claims for the establishment OF eight

from Gladstone. In it he said ne would

he considered that the question was not

REMARKABLE EXHIBITS.
Even at that early date, only nine years
after the pioneers arrived here, the ex-
hibition was remarkable, and different
to the fairs of later years. The products
of the domestic spinning wheel were
abundantly shown. Home made
hats, boots and shoes, leather,
soap, etc., were on exhibition.
Fingers then did the work now
accomplished only by machinery,
and it is said that the handmade quilts
exhibited at that first fair have never been
excelled at any subsequent fair. A display
of dressed beef by Jennings & Winder,
according to the DeSeret NeaoS, tsent the
epicures into ecstacies.'' Homemade
nails, costing 81 pound. and homemade
guns and pistols, cording machine and
a steam engine, were also exhibited. The
kennel show consisted of two shepherd
dogs, Aexhibited by w. Rydalch, and for
which he received premiums. Four
awards were made for sheep, and three
for chickens. There were pencil drawings
by Bethsheba W. Smith family tides and
ladies' work by Mrs. L. w. Hardy, Mrs.
Sutherland, Mrs. j. Squires and Mrs.
Joseph Horne; raised work ottomans by
Mrs. M. A. Hooper; oil portraits by Sarah

ermore, every cent received is paid
back to the people in premiums, and
reaches every branch OF industry. The
horse and cattle raisers, sheep owners,
poultry and dog fanciers, manufacturers,
miners, artists, needle worl1ers-all get a
share of the receipts, which are thus dis
tributed to aid in the advancement of do
nestic industry. In the first fair the
membership fee was two dollars and that

statement is not made to depreciate the
labors of the old board, for their labors

are now enjoying. 1t shows, however,
the reason for making the changes in the
ticket system.
The attendance for 1892 was good, but
notso great as in 1891, owing to, no doubt,
to the change in rates. The amount re-
ceived for admissions was 81, 697 .35, and
the amount paid in premiums upwards of
81 900. Fifty new stalls were erected to
accommodate the great live stock show
and even then fifty more exhibitors had
to be turned away. A new addition was
also built for the mineral display. The
fair last year received its light from the
Salt Lake City Railway company free of
charge, but this year a few days before

What Should Be Done to Secure the Con-

Been Successful in Past
Years.

1t is unnecessary to make any argu-
ment in favor of national, state or terri
torlal fair. The benefits to be derived
from them are unquestioned, their educa-
tional importance is acknowledged. The
great nations of the earth are fully aware
OF the advantages to be gained by them,
as attested by the mighty international
exhibitions so frequently held in differ
ent parts of the world. Our own nation
las certainly shown a belief in them as
educational factors, and the centennial
exhibition of 1876 was but the outgrowth
of that sentiment. The Worlds fair of
1893 is a still greater acknowledgment and
a proof of this usefulness. 1t has already
opened the eyes of the world to POSSIBLE
ties undreamed of, and if any misfortune
should stay its progress it stands today a
triumph in architecture, design and
workmanship, unique, original, grand
and awe-inspiring.
FAIRS INAUGURATED.
What is good for the world and nation,
is also good for state, territory, county
or any community. Early in the history
of this territory her citizens, Governor
Brigham Dung in the lead, decided that
lnt DOSb way 10 SHOW 1DQuSCTla1 progress
was to inaugurate fairs and award pre-
miums for meritorious manufactures; and
that society should be formed to offiic-
tally take charge of these exhibitions and
foster in every legitimate way the young
Industries of the territory. On Jan. II,
1856, the Deseret Agricultural and Manu-
featuring society was formed and char
tered at the session of the legislature held

the society to be that of promoting the
arts of domestic industry, and to encour-
age the production of articles from the
native elements of this territory The
act further provides for holding an an
nual exhibition in Salt Lake city or in
such other place as the directors may
deem advisable, of all agricultural pro-
ducts, stock and domsitic manufactured
articles best calculated to stimu-
late the people in industrial
persuits, and best subserve the
cause of domestic industry, and for
awarding premiums and publishing the
annual premium list.
The first directors were elected by the
joint vote of the legislative assembly and
they We're empowered to elect their own

THIS YEARS SHOW.
The fair of 1892, as whole, was in adj
vance of any of the Utah fairs. While in
some departments the exhibits were not
quite so extensive as in 1891 yet in others,
notably the live stock, educational, and
Horticulture departments, the expectations
of the directors were more than realized.
Some anxiety was felt on account of rails
ing the price of admission to fifty cents
and the membership fee to g, but an ex-
cess of receipts over 1891 of upwards of a
thousand dollars has shown the propriety
of the move from financial
standpoint. True, SO many people
did not see the fair, but many stayed

ing, until. finally, in 1888, the Utah Ex
position building, the history of which
is known to all, gave the fair permanent
home, and successful exhibition has
been given every year since-the last and
twentieth occurring Oct 4, 8, 6, and s,
1892
EssS THE MEN WHO MANAGED THEM;
The members of the board of directors
changed very little in early years. Will
ford Woodruff succeeded Edward Hunter
as president, and John R. Winder sue
ceeded Wiltord Woodruff. Mr.. Winder
was elected member soon after its or
ganization in 1856 and served from that
date until 1888. He served longer than
any other man and was its president from
1873 to 1859. In 1888 the charter was
amended so as to provide for a president
and eleven directors and to make the Of
ficers elective by the joint vote OF the
legislative assembly instead of by the di-
rectors themselves.
In 1890 w. IL. Lawrence and new board
were appointed and in 1892 the presiden-
tial honors were bestowed upon Curtis P
Mason, who had served one term as di-
rector.
THE MEN NOW AT THE HELM.
The board and its officers are now as
follows: President, Curtis P. Mason !;
vice president, William H. Rowe; secre-
tary, Heber NJ. Wells; assistant secre-
tary, George D. Piper; treasurer, Harry
T. Duke; directors, Nelson A. Empey

might be given and one branch of indus
try thereby encouraged.
1t has been suggested that mid-sum-
mer flower show or chrysanthemum ex-
hibition in the fall be given. This idea
seems to strike the board of directors
favorably and will be discussed and acted
upon one way or another early in Jan
uary. 1t would certainly be new in Utah
and a low admission fee, say Is or %
cents, would no doubt tempt all the peo-
pie who live anywhere near the city to
visit it. The increase OF fiowerists in
Utah, the love Of Horticulture by home
makers SO manifestly shown within the
last year or two, would insure an exhibit
of which the territory could be proud.
Whatever may be the action of the
board on this point 1t can be said in adj
vance that an exhibition of some kind
