A TURF CARNIVAL
 FOR ARIzONIANS
Quiet Tip on the Racing Feature of
 the Third Territorial Fair.

The time of the year has arrived when the uppermost thought of all Phoenix people should be the terri torial fair. All other Arizona peOple should have the same thought as near the top of the pile in their mental storeroom as local conditions will per init and there is no AriZonian that should not have the matter in mind a little bit, if it is no more than to wish he could attend the big show even when he knows he cannot. But the niost of them can come by hook or crook if they try hard enough and Phoenix will be disappointed if the at tendance is not far greater than at either of the two most successful pre- ceding fairs.
 There will be a lot to write about from this time on and it is hoped the territorial press will be liberal with it's space for if ever there was an all territorial enterprise it Is this one. This particular story is about the horses. The racing attractions this year will far SurpasS those of the preceding fairs and take rank along with many of the fairs in the older states where the attendance will naturally be much larger.
 There will be fourteen stake races each one named and guaranteed by some particular town in the territory. That means two stakes every day and some days three, and several heats of course to each stake. Of the fourteen stakes nine are filled. The five not ,II fr. for all pace. 2:l6 pace. 2:0S trot and 2:29 trot. Speed Superintendent Shir- ley A. Christy said yesterday that the five thrilled stakes were reopened as purses, races and entries for them will be closed on November 1st. It is now up to the horsemen who have good steppers to get busy and break into these classes.
 Thus far over a hundred good horses have been entered in one race or an- other and they come from all parts. With a hundred good harness horses on the fair grounds (and more are ex- pected) there ought to be some fine entertainment for the people who like to see fast travelling.
 Though the names of all the horses and their owners are not yet available for publication announcement is made that there will be several national celebrities present both with four feet and with two feet, the latter of course in charge of the former. To begin with there is assurance of the pres ence here of Bud Doble the dean of the American race track if such a term may be applied to the racing business More NyorId's racard. have baar hrokef under the leather pulling of Bud Doble than any other man living or dead. He is not alone a driver and trainer but a fine old gentlemen and author of book published sometime ago giving his story of thirty-fite years eXperi- ence in following the race track
 As long ago as when most of those who will attend the fair were either children or young people. Doble had charge of the stables of Robert Bon ner then the most famous string in America and Mir Bonner a well known newspaper man and editor of the New York Ledger. IL was Doble who drove Dexter to the then worlds record of 2:17. IL was Doble who encouraged Goldsmith Maid into her record stunt of 2:14. When Maud $ decided to trim the record down tO 2:0Sii it was Doble who sat in the sulky. When Nancy Hanks further reduced it to 2:O4 it was with the kindly aid of Bud Doble who put her on her mettle. Doble also travelled with Sunol and scores of oth CT famous horses and he now has a fine stable that will be represented on the Arizona fair grounds track. One of them will be Kinney Lou a McKin ney mare that has shown her merit.
 And there will be others. Charlie DeRyder who furnished a large part of last years entertainment here and who has been setting things afire on the Grand Circuit this year will be on hand with nice string. Delaney will be here again with his famous stallion Zolock which played in hard luck here two years ago against the renowned Hazel Patch but nevertheless gave a fine exhibition. Zolock was then suf fering from cracked feet but it is said to be in fine shape this season and De laney himself is modest and clever gentleman everybody will be pleased to see again.
 The Esterbrook stable which has been doing things all summer on the Grand Circuit will be represented and many individual horses of merit will be here from Montana, Utah. Califor- mia and Iowa. In addition the Greene string which makes it home in Phoenix more than anywhere else. Altogether there will be as fine bunch of horses as ever got together anywhere in the west unless in some California town and until after the show is over PhOe- nix will not consent to take her hat off even to the Golden state. Perhaps she won't do it then. And the racing is only one feature of the territorial fa fir ,s-bi icb .uiiI cartainI,- b.
