SOMETHING FOR ALL
 IN THIS STORY
The Opening Of the Fair and the Chief Events in the City During the Week.

The big show is on and everything is ready for it. Next to the exhibits and the races, the main thing is to have the people, and lots of them arz here. Every train brings an additional excursion party and all Arizona is falling over itself in an effort to get a front seat at the fair.
 Secretary Vernon Clark. who is di- rectly in charge of the details of the fair, announces that everything is ar ranged for that he can think of. and that there is nothing in evidence to mar the success of the fair The weather is fine and promises to be good all week. The town is pretty well dec orated though there are still a number of business houses which it is expected will throw their colors to the breeze this morning. The fair colors predom- mate, red white and yellow, but the national cOlOrs are also prOrusely dis played. Not only Che fronts but some of the show windows of the larger stores, have been specially dressed for this occasion and are pictures of beau ty and good taste. Phoenix as a whole has her glad hand extended, ready to welcome one and all. The information bureau at the board of trade. corner Adams and First avenue, under the di-
  to direct all visitors who apply to ad- dresses where they can secure rooms. It is probable the hotels will be full by this morning and this information should be generally disseminated by all Phoenix people. There is no charge for the service of the bureau of infor- nation.
 The admission price at the fair ground is fifty cents, though season tickets can be secured for two dollars. These are also on sale at Miler's drug store, corner of Center and Washing ton streets and at the Hotel Adams Pharmacy, corner Center and Adams streets.
 Today will be chiIdren's day. when all the school children will be admitted free to the grounds, and it is hoped they can all attend. Following the usual custom. it was planned to have the big live stock exhibit on the morn ing of opening day, but the arrival of stock on Saturday and Sunday fore noon was so great the management feared it would be unable to get it all placed in time for the parade and judging Monday morning. For that reason this event has been postponed until tomorrow morning, and it may be confidently imparted that the pa rade will be well worth seeing, one of the big things of the fair.
 The mining building is in pretty good condition for the welcoming of the wis ttors. but there is yet some finishing touches to be placed on the arrange ment of the displays in the general exhibition hall However, the exhib- it's are there and will be well worth
