TERRITORIAL FAIR TO BE A BIG
 SUCCESS.
To the Public:

To the Public:
 The Territorial Fair Commission in assuming the duties of its office ear nestly desires the cooperation of ev- cry citizen of the territory in making the first meeting great success.
 The last Legislature appropriated Sl5.OOO to be used in the erection of exhibit buildings, and the plans for these are now being prepared. They will be erected on the grounds of the Territorial Fair Association, one mile northwest of Phoenix. This assOcia tion has rais, d $3O,OOO, which will be used in paying for eighty acres of land purchased, building a regulation mile track with an inside one-half mile track, with grand stand, stables, and other buildings, and for all pur- poses necessary to make success of the enterprise. Work is now com menced on the grounds, and will be vigorously pushed until everything is finished, and as the funds are ample we anticipate as complete and attrae- tive grounds as could be desired.
 The appropriation of $75OO annual ly will enable the commission to offer some very attractive premiums, and it is proposed to make the fair so general in it's nature as to embrace every in- terest of our great territory. To that end we want every individual and ev- cry community to exhibit any produc- tion they wish, and the best possible premiums will be offered.
 We will devote one section to min ing exhibit and wish we could get ev- cry mine in the territory interested to make display of it's ore. This be- ing our greatest industry should be one of the leading features of the fair, and we will endeavOr to arrange for this display to be cared for permanently. We hope to hear from mining men generally as to the exhibit they will make and the space they will require.
 Another leading feature will be the display of live stock. Premiums will be offered for cattle of different breeds, and so elassed that all can find a place to enter, no matter what kind they are raising.
 We hope for an especially large dis play of horses. Some time ago a local horse show surprised everyone who attended, and we expect the sIr- prise will be still greater when thP entire territory makes an exhibit. % let every man be on hand with the best
 The sheep interest should he vel! represented, and premiums will oe of fered in all the various classes. In fact, the live stock can be made orc of the most interesting and ;nstrue- tive exhibits of the fair, and we hope every stockman who can will a.lvise us at as early date as possible that he will enter.
 The agricultural and horticultural ex hibits will be attractive features, and we want our farmers to come right in and show what can be done all tke way from pumpkins to oranges. We want especially to get into eommuni- cation with all fruit and vegetable growers associations, in fact, we want to hear from everyone who has any thing for exhibit and we will endeavor to arrange classes to suit.
 One of the attractive features of this first meeting of the fair will be the harness and rnnning races that are now being arranged for. There will be one running and three harness races each afternoon and as st2, 1000 is being offered in purses and stakes, there will undoubtedly be plenty of good and ex- citing races.
 The date sf this first aoeeting has been set for December 4tf ito 9th, in elusive, and as this is one of the most attractive seasons of the yesr in the Salt River Valley, we hope for a splendid meeting, and that everybody in the territory will atteud in person or send a representative.
 Remember the date, December 4th to 9th.
 Territorial Fair Commission,
 J. c. Adams, President.
