Arranging for the Fair.

The Horticultural Society directors
held a meeting last evening. Hon. L. b.
Prince in the chair and Hon. J. d.
Sena, secretary. Reports as to the COM
ing fair all showed satisfactory progress.
The premium list is just printed and ar
rangements were made for its thorough
distribution by the society. 1t is a neat
and comprehensive pamphlet and re-
fleets credit on the society.
c. w. Dudrow was appointed super
intendent of buildings at the fair, the
position held by his partner, Mr.. Davis.
last year. The Woman's Board of
Trade was invited to act as the decora-
ton committee, as it did so satisfactorily
last veal. 1t wa decided to have n
large reception committee similar to
that which made the first fair such a
pleasant occasion. Everything augurs
well for the coming exhibition.

New Mexico Day at Omaha.

New Mexico Day" at Omaha is fixed
for September 20. The commission
asked for a day near the end of Septem-
Der so as not to interfere with any of
the fairs etc, the dates of which are
fixed.
1t is to be hoped that there will be. a
large attendance from the territory. 1t
will be remembered that at the Chicago
exposition the day was very successful.
There were addresses by Governor
Thornton, and Hon. L. B. Prince, and
a poem by Captain Crawford, and a
magnificent lot of New Mexico fruit
was distributed to all who were present.
The program for the day at Omaha has
not yet been prepared, but the territory
should put it's best foot forward and
make it a notable occasion.

Princes History of New Mexico.

Ever since Governor Princes history
of New Mexico has been Out of print,
there has been an increasing demand
for a new edition. Within a few months
copies have sold as high as S. in this
city. Unfortunately the clectlotype
plates were destroyed by accident in
Kansas City, so that the work will have
to be entirely reprinted. This, how
ever, gives a better opportunity for re-
vision and am%plification than would
otherwise exist, and it is understood that
the work is now in progress and that
the new edition which will be published
in the fall will contain a considerable
amount of additional matter as well as
corrections on points which have been
made clearer by the historical researches
of che last Is years.
There is no history more romantic and
interesting than that of New Mexico,
and it will be Il general cause of con-
graduation when this graphic record
of its more important points is again OBJ
tainable,
