NOGS were the whole thing at the
state fair yesterday Today, be

ry off first honors. The dogs have had
their day and have two more coming
now let them step aside this afternoon
for Utah's best crop. There is no
limit Babies of every kind and color,
disposition and appearance may enter
none are barred.
OF course, there is some difference
between the standards which govern
the awarding Of prizes in baby shows
and in dog shows. In the latter the
homeIiest brute will carry off first hon
ors as often as his better looking
neighbor. In a baby show no one
sees mothers scrambling for prizes for
homely yOungsters-and besides. there
are no homely babies on such occa-
siOns.
The fair management gave out last
night that there would be no dearth
of entries, so the afternoon promises
to be an interesting one. The baby
show will be held in the Manufactures +.

dog wasn't trying to swallow his next
door companion, a pound puppy was
trying TO bark a giant Newfoundland
into activity. The NeWfoundIands
were really the only sober dogs OF The
lot. They took about as much inter
