The State Fair.


An entirely new feature OF the State
Fair Of 1905 at Salt Lake City from
October to October Z, both inclusive,
will be bench show Tor dogs. Never
before has an exhibition OF this cbarAc-
ter been attempted IN Sail Lake aud It
Is proposed, II the coming show meas
ures up to expectations, to make il
an annual feature. That IL will be u
success there now seems little reason for
doubling. With the fair nearly three
weeks distant more than 250 blueJlood-
ell dogs have been entered for the hand
some prizes offered by the Desere: Agri-
cultural & Manufacturing Society
directors.
There are no limitations as to breed in
making entries Dogs may belong to
any class but it is specified that they
must be OF noble canine lineage. The
brilling at the fair grounds that WIS
used last year for the poultry show
has been turned over to the dog ianciers
and the best Of Accommodations will he
afforded to all corners
Mention Of the poultry show serves rs
reminder of the lact that The Utah
Poultry Association aud the Dcseret
Agricultural & Manufacturing Society
are working together tins year harder
than ever and the result is going TO be
the finest exhibition of high grade fowls
that has ever been gathered together in
the state. The importance of the poul-
try show may be understood from the
fact that the entire Horticultural and
agricultural building OF last year is this
year to be the home Of the chickens.
The new building is closer to The main
entrances aud therefore the poultry will
be more prominent. Another advantage
will be better quarters for the fowls.
One hundred new patent coops have
been arranged for. Fifty Of these are
TO be furnished by the Utah Poultry
Association aud 80 by the Fair Associa
ton. Ia addition are the coops used a
year ago. Indications are that every
Que Of them will he fully occupied
The free entertainment features this
year are worth separate story. No
pains or expense have been spared IN
securing attractions Of the highest order.
One OF the unique daily events during
the fair will he Madame Lceions' fire
dive. This is the only way Of describing
marvellous act. Madame Legions
saiurates her garments with oil, applies
amalch and, when the flames enyelop
her, leaps from high platform into d
tank Of water How she dnes it and
escapes with Ter life ia one Of the mys-
teries, but fqf some months she Las
been giving performances in other cities
and she will Ave them here.
Direct from New York City comes an
other tree attraction in the person o
Msdan,e Adgie, and her widely renowned
company OF educated lions. This irai
little woman has the liking OF beasts
several OF him, under complete control
At n word OF command they go through
number OF acts that incicaie intelll
gence OF high order as well as the mos
careful training Fitzpatrick, the dare
devil rider who invented the 'loop tn
loop" will also be an attraction daily.
IL will be source OF satisfaction I
many TO know that Held's band Ia
been engaged TO furnish the music
The baud will be divided into Two sec
fions, one for the manufactures buillln
aud one for the grounds outside. Bot
bands will be recruited from the rank
OF the best musicians in Salt Lake an
Director Held promises that they wi
give some high class concerts.
The horse aud livestock shows will b
better, say those who know, than the
ever were and the exhibits in all 9th,
lines OF Utah endeavor Will snrpa'
every previous effort. But description
OF these features can be withheld unit
another day
