Huge pumpkins. mammoth squashes
gigantic potatoes, fruit galore fat
stock, growing ROSTERS, splendid horses
and Utah's home industries tastefully
arranged are not the least of the at
fractions which were thrown open to
the public at / o'clock this afternoon
on the occasion of the Twenty sixth
exhibition of the Deseret Agricultural
and Manufacturing society. From now
on for a solid week the show will I'M
doubtedly be patronized by thousands.
The opening ceremony was very
brief President Empey simply walk
ing into the manufacturers building
at the time indicated, and declaring
the fair TO be opened.
Despite the threatening weather the
crowds began 10 arrive shortly after
1870. with indications that there will
be close upon 5000 visit the grounds
providing the weather docs not become
too threatening Most OF those who
came this afternoon had the horse
races in view, with whlrl around the
Midway to follow. While there Is still
lot Of work to be done In putting on
finishing touches to the exhibits every
thing will undoubtedly be in place by
p. m.
AS 1t Is, the fair this year is a good
one aside from the attractions that
have been furnished by the manage
ment for the entertainment of the Wis
itors. owing to the rain the grounds
are free from dust and everything looks
green and fresh. The exhibits. too,
show marked Improvement over those
of last year and they are displayed
with taste and in some cases in novel
manner.
The erection OF building for the
fruit and vegetable displays also is a
step In the right direction, while words
of praise are heard from the poultry,
sheep and swine owners for the manner
in which the accommodation of the
stock Is this year provided.
There is plenty Of room In which to
show of the points OF the animals,
while the stock, owing to the new
buildings erected, are kept out of the
heretofore risky draughts and generally
protected from any cold breezes that
may come up.

JAPAN SENDS

Move is Regarded as Relating to
Russia's Proposition to Vacate
Manchuria Oct. s.

In View of All the Conditions il is
Looked Upon as a Most Sig.
niilcant Step.

Paris, Oct. l..-According to reliable
information received here japan has
decided to send two regiments OF in
fantry to Corea. This is regarded in
authoritative quarters as being most
important step as affecting Russo
Japanese relations and as likely to ac-
centuate the possibilities OF war
crisis. Japan's decision is considered
to be directly related to Russias prop
osition to evacuate Manchuria Oct s.
IL Is now accepted in the highest quar-
ters mat this evacuation is impossible
OF accomplishment as China has not
signed the terms on which Russia con-
ditloned her evacuation.
The advlces received show that China
declines to continue the present Russ a
status quo In Manchuria rather than
commit herself to finally signing the
proposed agreement. In view of thes
conditions, Japan's decision to send
troops to Corea is regarded a sbeing a
most significant step.
The advice further show that the war
spirit in Japan has materially aug
mented during the last fortnight.
