 Requested 10 Lend Their Aid in
 Making the First Territorial Fair a
 Big Success.
 The Review is in receipt of letter from J. C. Adams, of Phoenix, Pres ident of the Territorial Fair Commits sion. ia which he outlines in brief the objects Of the Territorial Fair and the program in general for the big terri torial event which will occur at Phoenix on December 4-9.
 Mir. Adams says:
 The Territorial Fair Commission. in assuming the dulles of it's office, earnestly desires the hearty eo-opera- ton of every citizen of the Territory in making the first meeting great success.
 The last legislature appropriated $15,O00 10 be used in the erection of exhibit buildings and the plans for these are now being prepared; they will be erected on the grounds of the ! Territorial Fair Association, one mile northwest of Phoenix; this Associa- ton has raised s30,oOO, which will be used in paying for so acres of land purchased, building a full regulation mile track. with an inside One-half mile track, with grand stand, stables and other buildings, and for all pur- poses necessary to make success of the enterprise. Work is now com mencing on the grounds, and will be vigorously pushed until everything is l finished. and as the funds are ample we anticipate as complete and attrac- tive a plant as could be desired. ! The appropriation of s7.50O annual | ly will enable the comission to offer some attractive premiums. and it is ! proposed to make the Fair so general in its nature as to embrace every in Iterest of our great Territory. To Ithat end we want every individual and every community to exhibit any : production they wish. and the best , possible premiums will be offered. 1 We will devote one section to a mining exhibit, and wish We could | get every mine in the Territory inter- ested to make a display of it's ore. This being our greatest industry should be one of the leading features
 
 l arrange for this display to be cared flor permanently. We hope to hear Ifrom the mining men generally as to i the exhibit they will make and the space they V I iCgn:;-.
 Another leading feature will be the 1 display of live stock Pr=n.u-fs will be offered for cattle of the different aT- find Q place to enter. l. latter what kind they are raising.
 We hope for an especially large dis play of horses. Some time ago a Ilccal horse show surprised every enc who attended, and we expect the sur. prise will be still greater when the entire Territory makes an exhibit. So | let every hcrseman ',e on hand with his best.
 The sheep interest should be well ] represented. and premiums will be of 1 tfered in all the various classes-in fact the live stock can be made one of the most interesting and instructive exhibits of the fair, and we hope every stockman who can will advise us at as early date as possible what he will enter.
 The agricultural and horticultural exhibits will be attractive features, and we want our farmers to come right in and show what can be done lall the way from pumpkins to oranges. We want especially to get into communication with all fruit and vegetable growers associations; in fact, we want to hear from every one who has anything for exhibit, and we will endeavor to arrange classes to suit
 One of the attrac i've features of this first meeting Of the fair will be the harness and running races that are now being arranged for. There will be one running and three har- ness races each afternoon, and as $12,- 000 is being offered n purses and stakes there will undoubtedly be 1rlenty of good and exciting races.
 The date of this first meeting has been set for December 4th to 9th, in- elusive. and as this is one of the most attractive seasons Jf the year in the Salt River Valley, we hope for a splen- did meeting. and that everybody in the Territory will attend in person or send representative.
 Remember the date-Decem5er tth to 9th
