BIG EXCURSIONS COMING FROM
SANTA FE AND LAS VEGAS
Visitors to Fair Have Already Begun to Arrive And
Present Outlook Points TO Record
Breaking Crowds

The largest crowds that have ever
made the trip to Albuquerque to at
tend the annual territorial fair are ex-
pected in this city next week. Hun
dreds of visitors are arriving on every
train and by Monday morning, the
first day of the big fair, it is expected
that the city will be crowded.
Every day of the far will be big
day. Tuesday, September 19, is San
ia Fe day; Wednesday, September 20,
is Las Vegas day, and Thursday, Sep
temUer 81, is Albuquerque day; while
Friday, September %, has been set
aside as Southern Rio Grande valley
day. Secretary Sellers has received
assurances that each of these towns
will run big eXcm sions to Albuquer-
lue on their respective days.
Big Crowds from Santa Fe.
On Tuesday, Santa Fe day, that city
will send between 500 and 1000 visit
ors, as will be seen from the follow
ing article in the New Mexican:
The Santa Fe railway has made ar
rangements to run a special train to
Albuquerque next Tuesday, that being
Santa Fe day. The train will leave
here at o'clock in the morning, ar
rive at IL and returning leave the
latter town at II at night. 1t is sug-
gested that the merchants of Santa
Fe declare a holiday on Tuesday next
in order to take advantage of this
first class chance to visit the Duke
City in day time and also to give
their clerks an opportunity to attend
the fair on Santa Fe day. 1t will
IA he % 10
city to be represented by as large
concourse of people at Albuquerque on
Santa Fe day as can possibly arrange
to go. The fare is merely nominal and
the trip will be made going and COM
ing at $2.65 per ticket Everything
that can be done to make the journey
comfortable and to make the visit an
enjoyable and pleasureable one will
be done by the Santa Fe railway Off
cials, by the Albuquerque fair man
agement. and by the people of the
Duke city. Not less than five hundred
people should attend from here and
the number should be much larger if
possible. If the merchants and busi-
ness men of this city look at the mat
ter in the right light they will follow
this suggestion. A visit to the fair
and to the Duke City at this time will
in many ways prove of benefit, as
first, it will show that the people of
the Capital City have none but the
best of feeling for their fellow citi-
zens, and secondly, that the people of
Santa Fe county will do what they
can to make the twenty-fifth terri
toria affair what it ought to be to all
concerned.
The live stock show will be inter
esting as high grade cattle and sheep

SORRY WE CANNOT ATTEND

The Citizen acknowledges a com
plimentary ticket to the San Juan
county fair and carnival, which opens
at Aztec September 10, and continues
for three days.
In extending the invitation 10 at.
tend, c. S. Bailey, a member Of the
executive committee, says:
1T is hardly expected that news
paper man ever finds time to take a
vacation but it would pay you to oc-
casionally take the rest you need and
empty your brain of its daily task by
getting rid of your business trials for
a few days. One way to rest your brain
and strengthen your body is to visit
our fair and carnival and spend your
time watching the sports and flirting
with the rosy-cheeked apples, golden
pears, yelyety peaches, purple and
pale green grapes and yellow aud
crimson plums."
Albuquerque evening citizen., 1905-09-16

from Iowa, Kansas and other fine
stock raising states will be on hand.
The sporting events have always been
noteworthy and will this year be the
very best ever had by the fair The
fruit exhibit will be extensive and
will come from many sections of the
territory. and therefore will be very
good to look at as illustrating what
the different sections of the Sunshine
territory can do in that line. Fleeces
from all over the world have been
sent to the fair by one of the largest
wool dealing firms not only in the
United States but also in the world,
and these will also be shown there.
Take it all in all, few hours at
the fair in the Duke City on Tuesday
next will not only constitute a very
pleasing and pleasant time, but will
also be instructive and interesting.
The New Mexican hopes and trusts
that the merchants of Santa Fe will
heed the suggestion made and will de-
clare a holiday next Tuesday so they,
their families, their clerks and other
help may attend the fair and do honor
and credit to Santa Fe.
Las Vegas Will Be Here.
Las Vegas will see that its day,
Wednesday, is one of the biggest of
the fair. On that day the Blues of that
city will meet the Mcintosh Browns of
Albuquerque and the Meadow City will
send a mammoth excursion to this
city to cheer its team to victory. The
Optic says:
The tickets for the Las Vegas ex-
cursion to the Albuquerque fair are
good until Sept. 25. Very low rates
are available for the entire week. but
the 81 tickets for the excursion train
may be bought now at any time and
used Wednesday morning going and
until Sept. 25 returning. This offers
much more advantage than usual The
committee that was out selling tickets
yesterday met with good success and
it is quite certain that a big crowd
will go to the Duke City for Las
Vegas day, as well as for other days
of the fair. Every Las Vegan is ex-
pected to get a burgee, flags, buttons
and literature advertising the North
ern New Mexico fair to display to the
thousands from all parts of the ter
ritory. Albuquerque will be good ad-
vertising ground during the territor-
ial fair.
The Las Vegas team plays in Albu-
querque for the first time Tuesday
morning, but the big game with Albu-
querque will be Wednesday afternoon
1t is certain that Albuquerque is re-
tanning Starr for this game. 1t is
likely that Nash will pitch for Las
Vegas in the Tuesday game and that
Cable will be in the box Wednesday,
though nothing definite has yet been
decided.

but it is here-a mourning hat on the

these are two rows of festoons or uul
