ABSOLUTELY PURE
NEW MEXICO FAIR NOTES

Johnny Keegap, of Gallup, knews how
to play base ball according to the modern
methods of "de game"
The fruit exhibits from the various
counties are not alone wonder-they are
holy wonder.-Albuquerque Citizen.
Yes; and Santa Fe county seaded the list,
but the Citizen forgot to make note of
it.
The school exhibit at the fair attracts
the attention of all visitors. So much
has been said about the lack of proper
school facilities in New Mexico that this
exhibit is a revelation to persons from
abroad.
Supt. Stamm selected his five judges
on fruit from California, Kansas, Colora-
do and Missouri, and their decisions have
given better satisfaction than is usual
no such occasions.
Over 100 Plymouth Rocks were on ex-
hibition. G. Lowenberg, of Pena Blanca,
and Talcott, of Denver, took blue rib
bons. Prof. Chase, of Albuquerque, took
first premium on breeding pen.
The drill of the Black Horse squadron
was a splendid exhibition in cavalry
applause of the visitors. Say what you
will, Uncle Sans troopers are strictly in
it.
The finest single display of Bartlett
pears at the fair was furnished by ex-
Gov. Prince. There were ten pears, the
largest of which weighed 1sA ounces,
and their combined weight was eight
pounds four and half ounces.
Notwithstanding that the Santa Fe fruit
exhibit was awarded the sweepstakes
prize, the Citizen makes no mention of
such an exhibit. Possibly in the rush
and excitement of the moment the Citi-
zen has forgotten the existence of Santa
Fe county.
The bicycle races yesterday afternoon
resulted as follows: One-fourth of mile,
AL. Codington, "a seconds; three uarters,
Henry Young, of Denver, 2:1o15; five-mile
race, j. NJ. Moore first, Tom Scott second,
and AL. Codington third, time 14:29.
During fair week Albuquerque is taking
vote on naming the city park. Thus
far 476 votes have been cast, of which 317
are for Miss Julia Lee. The lady is the
sister of Hon. John A. Lee, and the vote
is compliment to her progressive spirit
as citizen. She is great lover of flow
ers and has done much to arouse interest
in the native fora of New Mexico.
The exhibit from San Juan county at.
! tracts as much attention as anything else
on exhibition at the fair. This section
of New Mexico has been coming rapidly
to the front as fruit district, and the
samples of its products now on exhibi-
tion abundantly verify everything that
has been said on the subject. There are
certainly no finer fruits shown from any
where. But the potatoes attract the N ost
attention because the fruit growing sec
tions of this county are not generally very
successful with potatoes. But San Juan
has shown that her potatoes are fully
equal to her apples, and not to be sur
passed in any portion OF the west.-Al-
buquerque Citizen.
Pandemomium reigned ON the race
course yesterday afternoon. The horses
Green Prewitt, Rye and Joe Bale were
started, but the latter ran away, as usual,
and winded himself 80 that he was unfit
when the word to start was given. Baile
came in third, Prewitt second and Rye
won by neck. This wasn't in accord
with the program. The book makers
had it "fxed" so that Prewitt was to win,
and the judges calmly gave the race to
Prewitt. Then the crowd yelled fraud"
and for while there was ruuch excite
ment. As compromise, the judges
declared the race and all bets off. This
is sample of the management which
has characterized the whole weeks racing.
Merit of the horses had nothing to do
with the victories. The book makers
have simply fixed the game and played
it to suit themselves.
