.BATTLEsHIP FLEET
SAILS FOR JAPAN

Manila. Oct 10.-The 16 big battle
ships OF the Atlantic fleet are now en-
route to Japan. Sailing orders were
given by Rear Admiral Charles n.
Sperry for the fleet to depart two hours
earlier than the time announced yes
terday and at 6 o'clock this morning
the flagship Connecticut got under
way. Half an hour later all OF the great
ships were in motion and followed the
Connecticut down the bay.
In the brilliantly sunlit morning the
majestic line of warships presented a
magnificent appearance, their white
sides glistening as they moved slowly
out to sea.
The public had not been warned of
the hour OF departure, and few wit
messed 1t. There was consequently no
ceremony or demonstration of any kind
save the dipping of flags by the mer-
chantmen and the whistling salutes by
the launches in the bay.
AT S:45 o'clock the long line had
cleared Corregidor island, at the mouth
OF the bay and headed north into the
China sea.
simultaneously with the departure
of the feet. the authorities of Manila
started a new campaign to eradicate
cholera. The police were ordered to
make two house, toulouse inspections
daily, and the constabulary which has
been reinforced, Will perform ordinary
police duty and guard infected houses.
The disinfecting force has been IN
creased and the general scope of the
work broadened. The number of new
cases reported averages 10 daily.

TWO COUNTIES TODAY.

Today was Sanpetc and Davis county

cations to show their appreciation Of
the honor OF having the grand final day
named after them. The crowds We're
large from the start and by noon the
grounds We're swarmine Tonight's
crowds are certain to break all records.
While no final information could be
obtained. today the total attendance
is placed at about 123,SoO. Last years
estimated total was much larger than
this and it was far too high. This
seasons attendance Will be Just as
much greater as today contributes, for
last night saw the total attendance for
1907 tied. Conference came to a close
early in the week and this threw the
last half of the week entirely depen-
dent upon Salt Lake and Immediate
neighborhood. But at this the records
will be broken by a handsome margin.
SPECIALS TODAY.
While no special program has been
arranged for today. all shows and at
fractions are wearing brightest col

pecially sensational and fireworks kept

day afternoon and any attempt to
start something will result in a ride
TO the uptown police station.
The horse races this afternoon drew
a tremendous crowd as the card in
cluded races among the fastest horses
seen during the week. Special car
service and special police service as
well as special arrangements have been
made to keep the last-day crowds in
good humor and on good behavior. Or
der has been noticed throughout tho
week despite the throngs every day,
so no cause for worry is presented to-
day. The wind-up of the fair will be a
fitting climax to the greatest show in
the history of the state.

We're unusually large, but they failed
TO tell us the whole story. These
buildings and grounds are more thor
oughly covered by exhibits than ever
before. The interest displayed in this,
the thirtieth annual exposition, sur
passed all previous movements and the
result has been a wonderfully success

good thing we did. Had not unusual

this fair would have doomed UP so large
all: of sudden that we would have
been unable to maintain the smooth
ness and thoroughness which have
made utah's fairs such successes. But
even with the great preparations the
show suffered because of lack of neces-
sary buildings and other arrangements
which must be added during the COM
ing year The fair business in Titan
has assumed ponderous proportions.
as we watched it grow we gave the
public a tip to expect the biggest fair
