 HASsAYAMPA DAY.
 Today will be distinctively Hassa- yampa day, and it is expected that all the old timers will get together and swap yarns. There are a number of novel exhibitions expected and several prizes have been offered for old timers, for big families, and for nu- merous other features, among them a fine prize for the couple that will get married on the grounds today and start life right. How many of these features will materialize can not be predicted, but it will be great round up of the old pioneers, and everybody should go to the grounds early pre- pared to stay late.
 FINE ART DIVISION.
 The fine art division of the womans department has been left until this time because the judging was not completed until yesterday and partly because there was so much that was pertinent that had to be told as the days went by. The art division is un- der the direction of Miss Caroline Trowbridge, and fully merits a great deal more space than can be given to it in a general write-up. It has sur prised the visitors to see so much to delight them in the way of art, way down in little old Arizona. An oil painting of camel back mountain is fine picture, and those who don't be- lieve it can walk to the door and com pare it with the original The painting and the original can both be seen on and from the fair grounds.

The following letter is only one of many thousands which are on file in the Pinkham office, and go to prove beyond question that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound must be remedy of great merit, otherwise it could not produce such marvellous re- suits among sick and ailing women. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 About nine months ago I was great suf- ferer with womb trouble, which caused me severe pain extreme nervousness and ire quent headaches, from which the doctor failed to relieve me. l tried Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and within a short time felt better, and after taking five bottles of 1t l was entirely cured. therefore heartily recommend your Compound as splendid uterine tonic. It makes the monthly periods regular and without pain and what a blessing it is to find such remedy after so many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased to recommend 1t to all suffering women. "- Mrs. Sara Wilson, q East Sd Street, Cincin- natl, Ohio.

The Flag staff people who were looking on said Fannie would win, but all others were wondering what there was to recom- mend her. It transpired that her prin- cipai recommendation was speed. At the start Baby Rock baked and played around without getting nicely under way until after the other two horses had finished. Skeeter had the pole but Fannie took it away in a twink ling and led him a merry chase to the wire, winning easily. After it was all over, Baby Rock came around in a pretty good exhibition run. Fan nie's time was 25 3-4.
 OTHER INCIDENTS.
 The Kilties band appeared on the grounds early in the afternoon and for d couple of hours furnished excellent music to the large gathering of people between the races, making a very en- joyable free concert. At an appropri- ate time Dr. Stone announced the ap- preciation of the mana cement and wis itors of the band music, and also told the audience that the band would play again at the fair today and at the Oar ris opera house Friday and Saturday nights.
 A mile bicycle race was won by Rhodes, the time for the half being 117 IA, and for the mile 2.31. There were three contestants, the other two being Robinson and Jones.

They all re- turned and tried it over again, Rob- inson coming in second, but all three were close together.

reader should remember that it is only in a general way. Particularly in the main exhibition hall are there so many small articles of real merit that 1t is absolutely impossible to see them all, much less write about them, during the brief space of a week But this isn't all of the show, for there are 2 number of things in the open that de- mand attention.
 One is the Iowa concrete block mach inc. It is being exploited here by Holde- man & Egly, agents, No. r North Cen ter street. It is a machine for the pur- pose of making concrete building blocks. The product of this machine is said to be but little more expensive than brick, and would be cheaper only for the high price of cement here. And it is claimed the blocks make a much finer building. The machine is not an expensive one for a person who has great deal of building to oo.
 Another feature is a solar motor, of a different pattern from the one that was given a successful demonstration here a year or so ago. The office of the exhibitor of this machine is In the Lewis block, room '.

 SHEEP AND SWINE.
 The exhibit of swine this year Is not as large as might have been expected but there are few pens of mighty fine stock. Superintendent Baum has not seen fit to parade his department in front of the gand stand, so the grand stand, if it wants to see, will have to parade itself to the pig stys. But most everybody has been there already and the rest will go today There ars but one or two pens of sheep shown, but they are nice ones. There was some disappointment in this exhibit being so small, but another year there will probably be a larger showing. There ar hundreds of thousands of sheep in Arizona, but most of them gre in the far north. and it was considerable Oi an undertaking to get them here this year.

The fact that $120.000 has been invested in the grounds and buildings shows the magnitude of the enterprise. No fair in the South has been planned and executed upon such m elaborate scale. Every foot of space in the ex- hibit halls has been contracted for. The pure food show, poultry show. live stock exhibits. the agricultural exhibits. the machinery exhibits and :he amusement features of the fair will make it the greatest panorama in the history of the South.
