WILL BE RUNNING RACES
And SOraetAins For Everybody at the
 Arizona Fair.

A little ripple of disappointment and dissatisfaction has been expressed during the last two days since the first anpouncement of the fair association concerning the racing program, on the part of those whose interest in racing is confined to running horses. Their fear was that there were to be no running races at the fair and therefore nothing of a sporting nature that ap pealed to them. Secretary Tiffany was seen yesterday in regard to the matter and said that the criticism was needless as it is the intention of the association to have everything and ca ter to the pleasure and profit of all. The fair is to be too big a thing to be told all about in one breath and the subject of running races as we'll as many other things not yet mentioned, has been given due consideration. There will be at least $12O0 offered in purses for running horse and there will be at least six races, one every day and perhaps more. The details of this feature have not all been worked out but will be in ample time.
 Something had to be mentioned first and the work of arranging for the har- ness races involving more details and
 
 tion. To begin with there is more work in securing the entries for har- ness races and more missionary work has to be done abroad. MT. Tiffany has already sent out two sacks full of circulars to places east and west where early meetings will be held and this will be followed up as the season advances by more and similar Htera- ture which will come before the same hoTsemen as they proceed along the various circuits and at the same time each installment will be placed before some new local horsemen that perhaps have not yet heard of Phoenix It is a campaign of education among horse men, designed not only to get a fine at tendance at the fair but to get as many as possible to remain for the winter.
 Announcement has to be made of the various entries and the conditions so the horsemen will know what is re- quired of them and make their plans accordingly. These entries usually have to be made sometime before the whereas the running entries can be filled up later on. In this con- nection it is especially noted that the fair management wants to do all it v high bred stock at home. To that end there are no purses offered to outside yearlings and two year olds for fear of frightening away the home breed CTS who are urged to enter anything they have of merit. These entries must be made by Aug. l and the Arizona horsemen are urged to note the date and get their horses on the list at the earliest possible day. Attention is also called to the fact that there are to be other harness races announced later as mentioned in a paragraph of the story In Sunday mornings Republican. That was tie first announcement made of he races and the most important things only were referred to.
 But the running horses will be taken care of and undoubtedly will prove one of the most entertaining features of the weeks program. It is proposed 10 build a half mile track inside the mile track. both finishing at the same wire in front of the grand stand. This track will be used for matinee races during the year and for other pur- o-e-s when desired but it will be fin ished in time for the fair and will be eady then for the especial use of the horses For the truth is that O get the best results two different
