Commenting on the coming meet the
Albuquerque Citizen says:
Santa Flo has responded to our call to
visit us during the territorial fair for
about thirteen years, and she has never
failed to come to time with a rousng big
crowd. Let us reciprocate this time, and
surprise the Santa Fe people by sending
up on the excursion train several hun
dred happy e1cursionists. Again, the
Fourth will be the big day of the third
annual convention and second annual
tournament of the New Mexico Associa-
ton Volunteer Firemen. The wet test,
for the championship belt and purse of
$75, will be run, and the president of the
association has information which
prompts him to state that half dozen
running teams will compete. Hose coup
ling contests, foot races, hook and ladder
races and many other exciting events are
down on the program for that day."
