EIGHT ENTREES FOR
 THE BISBEE STAKE
EXPECTED THIS EVENT WILL BE THE FASTEST OF THE
 FAIR.
Track Is Speedy and May Break Rec ords of the Country With Fast Ones That Are to Team Over lt-DriIling Contest Prizes.

The racing program at the Territo- rial Fair promises to be the equal of any program ever given in the west. and the Bisbee stake of s1,000, will be the fastest of them all.
 < telegram received in Bisbee yes terday from J. c. Adams, of Phoenix, says
 The Bisbee stake closed today with eight entries Six of the horses have records below 209, including Hazel Patch with a record of POP and Zo- lock with a record of 2.05. The Bis lee stake will probably be the fastest race that will ever be seen in Arizona" |"
 Hon. B. A. Packard, while here last week, stated that the racing program at the First Territorial Fair would equal anything to be seen at the State Fairs in the east, and in some in stances would be the equal of any races to be seen in the world. Sev- eral eastern thoroughbreds, en route from the east to California, have been persuaded to stop over at Phoenix for the Fair, and most of them are already on hand and in training on the AriZo- na track, which is said to be one of the fastest tracks in the west.
 Work at the Fair grounds is being pushed ahead with every assurance that everything will be in readiness for the opening on December 4th.
 Announcement of the exact amount of prizes for the Miners drilling con test is expected this week. The first prize will not be less than SS0000 and in all probability will be S10O0.
 This contest is strictly an Arizona miners contest and to be eligible TOT entry, a miner must have resided in the territory for at least ninety days prior to the meeting of the Fair.

CONTRACTOR TALKS ON
 PAVING AND SEWER
CONSIDERS THAT THE CITY MADE WISE MOVE IN ADOPT
 ING BRICK.
Fl Psso Likely to Use Same to Extent Of s175, ,ooo-Sewer Feasible If Town Has Money to Pay for it-Visitor Thinks Cost Will Exceed $1oo,o0o

Z Ward. president of the Mississippi Valley Construction Co. with head quarters at Little Rock, arrived in the city yesterday He will remain until tomorrow, and perhaps longer. He came here to look into the sewer mat ter, with expectation of making a bid for the work. Finding that the city may do some paving he is looking over the specifications for that, and may as a result be one of the bidders tomor- row night. Asked yesterday as to his opinion regarding paving in the city, M- Ward said:
 There is evident need of paving here, and in my opinion an exceeding ly wise step was taken when the city determined to put asphalt aside and use brick The latter have proven a great success wherever they have been used, and I believe are particularly suited for your uses here, climatic ana all other conditions considered. Fl Paso is now figuring on s175,000 worth of paving, and though they have not decided as to the material they will use. the general expression appears to favor brick The money for the paving his been voted. We expect to have bid in for the work when it comes up. Just at present we are erecting a new high school building in the city"
 Yes. a sewer is entirely feasible here" said MT. Ward, in response to a query in that regard. Tt is merely q matter of expenditure of money that you face. If you have that to spend 10 get a sewer you will secure it with no great difficulty. AS to whether s1OO. 0OO will build sewer for Bisbee, I can not say. My off-hand opinion would be that it would cost consider ably more than that amount. How ever. I have seen no plans nor am I familiar with the ground or the pro- posed route. had hopes when I came up of finding the plans ready for inspection, but it seems that there is as yet nothing prepared from which an intelligent idea can be gained as to what will be required

AMUSEM ENTS.
Britt-NeIson Fight Coming This
 Week.

The battle that created the most in- terest among followers of the ring, and the public in general, was the battle between Jimmy Britt, of California, and Battling Nelson, the Chicago Dane, at Colma, California, Septem- Der 9th. It was a whirlwind fight from start to finish. The pictures taken during the fight are among the best If not the best) that were ever taken of a fight; not detail was missed from the time the fighters ea- tered the ring until the knockout, which shows plainly in the pictures. One imagines himself at the ringside. You see the crowd moving about mak- ing bets on the fight, and if you or any of your friends were at the ring side their faces can be plainly seen. There are nearly one mile of films, and it takes almost two hours to run them through the machine. All the prelim- inaries are fully shown, including Jim Jeffries' speech giving up the cham pionship (you can almost hear him talk). Also Billy Jordan's announce ments. and Eddie Graney's instruc- tions to the principals and seconds just previous to calling time. Alto gether the pictures are the most per feet ever shown. The Britt-Nelson motion pictures will be shown at the Opera House Friday, November 10, and Sunday, Nov. 12, and matinee on Sunday, Nov. 12. Prices 75, 50 and 25c.

SOME REASONABLE ADVICE.

It may be a piece of superfluous ad- vice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in a supply of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It is al- most sure to be needed before the winter is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are obtained when taken as soon as a cold is con- tracted and before it has become set tied in the system, which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is SO widely known and so altogether good that no one should hesitate about buying 1t in preference to any other. It is for sale by all dealers in patent meii. cines.
