THE FAIR OPENS TODAY
EVERYTHING is IN READINESS
FOR THE OPENING CEREMONIES.
Grand Military Display and Other
Attractions-The Exhibits In Va
riety and Numbers Exceed Those
of Any Previous Territorial Fair.

of Any Previous Territorial Fair.
Today, at high noon, the formal open
ing of the Territorial fair will take
place There is no doubt that this fair
will prove the most comprehensive ex-
cultural and Manufacturing society,
and the public will doubtless show its
appreciation by large attendances at
the grounds.
The president and directors, ever
since it was decided to hold fair this
year, have been untiring in their eXer-
tons to make it a success in every re-
spect. To these efforts the public have
responded in a way that shows they
have been appreciated. Every inch of
space is taken and nearly twice as
much could have been let had it been
at the disposal of the society.
Utah has more varied resources than
any other state in the Union, and this
year every department is well repre-
scented. The live stock exhibit is some
thing unprecedented in it's proportions
and excellence.
The agricultural department is mar
vel, and the machinery in motion and
otherwise is alone well worth the price
of admission to see.
Under the able management of Mr..
James Cushing, of Sandy, the mineral
wealth of Utah can be seen to better
advantage than ever before.
The same is true of the art section.
The display of canvas hung by our
Utah artists, is such that every Utoni-
an can be justly proud of the ability
and genius evidenced by the home tai
ent.
In fact, the heads of all the depart
ments seem to be endowed with more
energy and taste in arranging their
exhibits for this exposition than ever
before.
The entrance fees were made as low
as compatible with the expenses,
which have been absolutely necessary
to SO large an undertaking. The popu-
lar prices of admission are such as
cannot fail to strike the public in the
right way. The educational value, to
both old and young, of a visit to the
exhibition cannot well be overestimat-
ed, and the people can be depended
upon to show their appreciation of so
praiseworthy an undertaking.
The building presented a very lively
appearance at a late hour last night.
There was much hurrying to and fro,
much hustle and excitement.
| For an opening day everything is in
a forward state. Most of the exhibits
we're completed last night, and work
will go rapidly on until by noon most
everything will be in readiness. Gov
ernor West is expected home in time to
take a share in the opening ceremonies.
