ureS of Week.
VlSlTOR> RETURN TO THEIR HOMES

The Twenty-nnh New Mexico fair
Is over Tho fair closed with carni-
val night on saturday and everything
went off I'm au orderly manner, moth
ing occurrine TO- mar a week of plea
sure. 3 the opinion of many it was
the most orderly carnival night in the
history of territorial fairs in Albu-
querque.
The fair just closed was in more
ways than one a remarkable fair. Dur
ing the entire week there was not
one serious accident reported. Much
credit is due the police department,
which preserved order at all times
and reduced the operations of crooks,
pickpOckets, etc, to a minimum.
There was i'm no ease a serious dis
turbance of any kind and the arrests
were few and of little consequence.
On all sides there is heard nothing
but praise and everybody seems well
satisfied. which should suffice.
Troopers Return to IT. Wingate
Lieutenant Lewis, commanding
Troop II, of the Fifth United States
cavalry. located at Fort Wingate, left
yesterday afternoon for the fort. The
boys broke camp at 1880 o'clock yes
terday morning and the special train
left for the west in the middle Of the
afternoon.
It can be safely said that the troop
ers this year gave better exhibitions
than ever before and too much credit
cannot be given both Lieutenant Lew
is and his men for the entertainment
they afforded the visitors at the fair.
All of them made many friends in AL
b~uquerque and the moral discipline of
the troop is excellent.
1t is generally conceded that the cav.
airy was one. if not the chief feature
of the many events on the fair prog
ran and the daily drills of the troop
ers always drew a large crowd.
Closing Races Were interesting.
The last days racing card on the
fair program proved quite interesting.
The feature was the ladies running
race, in which there were three en-
tries. The race was five furlongs
and was won by Mrs. e. Lindow, o.
Minneapolis, Mimi, with Miss Udel
second and Miss Black third. The
finish was a close one and the granC
stand was in an unroar.
Master Delmar won his second race
Of the present meet on Saturday
when he finished an easy first in the
2:16 trot. r. H. Greenleaf's McGinty
was second and Emil Mann's Boone
third.
Jeffries and Party Leave.
Champion James j. Jeffries and par
ty left on Saturday night for Califor
MIA. The big man expressed himsel.
as having had a good time, but hi
said that umpiring in the hot sun wai
a little too strenuous for him. Thu
champion said that he did not believe
he had made much of a hit as a base
ball umpire.
The exhibits of fruit from various
parts of the territory were either sol,
or packed up and shipped home OF
Saturday night. Most of the frui
found a ready market here, while
good deal was given away to tn,
friends of the exhibitors.
NaVaios Return to Reservation.
John Wetherill, the great whit
chief, who is worshipped by the Ma
vajo Indians alike as the creates
paleface alive, accompanied by hi
wife and brother, left yesterday TO
the reservation in charge of the twelv,
Uavajo bucks that he brought to tn,
fair. The party travelled overland AM
expect to reach home in a couple o
days. The Indians brought to Albu
querque this year gave the best ex
hibitions ever seen here. Their ap
pearance either at Traction park o
on the streets at night guaranteed
some fine entertainment and thu
crowd was always glad to see the rel
men turn out.
The Indians were tired after thei
weeks pleasure and according to MI
Wetherill all were glad to know the
were going back home. They will g
back and tell their brother buck
what a great time they had in Albu
querque and make their trip last then
until another fair rolls around wheI
they hope to be able to come bacI
again. The Indians took many trinR
cts home with them, some which the
purchased and some which were gift
from admiring friends, who were er
