sounded to the rumble of machinery,
the cries of the barkers and the lowing
of cattle for the past week Will again
resume their wonted condition of in
nocuOus desUetude until next October.
when they viii again resoUnd to the
plaudits greeting an even greater
show than that of the past year. Ev-
eryone who attended the fair went
home enthusiastic over the magnificent
showing, but the directors are already
celebrating their plans for a still
greater show than was given in 1908.
Anyone VINO expected a et-down in
the attendance at the fair yesterday,
or who expected that the shows and
eXhibit would be curtailed because it
was the last day of the fair, vas dis
appointed. The fair closed in a blaze
of glory with a record OF attendance
which has never been equaled in the
history of the state. When the gates
. closed Friday night the best previous
record of had been equaled,
and the 1910 0 people who passed
through the gates yesterday represent
the increase of attendance over last
year. All of the exhibits were kept in
tact during the day, ard not even any
OF the livestock was removed from the
stalls until it was too dark To see
them. To Salt Lake City alone is due
the increased attendance of the fair of
1908. Weber county day, Utah county
day and Davis and Sanpete county
day attracted little attention from the
people of those localities. 1t was the
people of Salt Lake who supported the
fair as far as attendance was on
cerned, and who made it the financial
success which II has been.
Special Race Program.
The special race program arranged
for yesterday afternoon drew most of
the daylight crowd. The stands were
filled to overlooking, and the free at
fractions presented within the race
track were received with even greater
evidences of approval at any day
during the fair. Under the able direc-
ton of Lester D. Freed, the races have
been a complete success, and ave af-
forced better racing and more genuine
enjoyment 10 lovers of fast horses than
any races ever given in the state.
There was a minimum of delay. n
the tricky practices which nave made

by their absence. Mr.. Freed received
many congratulations on his choice OF

The midway has been more satisfac-
tory in every respect than ever before.
and the throngs at the last night of the
fair were as liberal Of their patronage
as at any time during the fair. 1t is
a remarkable fact that the shows
given on the midway, both free and
those at which admission was charged.
have served TO keep the race crowds at
the grounds over the dinner hour, and
fully as per cent of those who have
paid admission during the afternoon
have remained for the evening shows.
Free From Rowdyism.
There was not a single accident dur
ing the fair. and the crowds hav been
surprisingly orderly and free from row.

a single arrest, not a single lost child
or a report of any attempt at theft.
The crowd consisted almost entirely of
grown people, and the police force was
relieved Of the anxiety for the safety
of children TO a great extent.
The decision of the fair management
that no confetti would be allowed dur
ing the closing night of the fair was
received with approval by the people
who planned to attend the fair Satur-
day night. 1t is almost impossible to
allow the throwing of confetti without
subjecting the patrons of the fair to
r~owdyism, and the directors were de
termined that there should be no blot
upon the magnificent record made dur
ing the week. The fireworks display,
which has been a feature of the even
ing entertainments. was largely aug
mented last night and vas thoroughly
enjoyed by the immense crowd which
filed the stands n the ace track.
The car service. which has up to the
present year been most sca~ndalously
inadequate, showed a splendid i'm
provenIent over past performances,
and the crowds were handled without

Plans for Future.

In the midst of receiving congratulations
over the success OF the present fair and
its enlargement and Improvement over all
fairs held in the past, the directors of the
State Fair association began planning for
even bigger and better fairs in the fu-
ture. The principal difficulty which the
directors nave had to contend with during
the present fair has been lack of accom-
mOdati0ns. Exhibitor after exhibitor had
entry fees returned because there was not
room to properly display the exhibits. This

WADSWoRTH REGION SAFE FOR TAFT.
Speaker Says Upstate Neighbors are Enthusi-
astic Over Republican Ticket.

Speaker James W. Wadsworth was at the Man.
haitian Hotel yesterday with Mrs. Wadsworth but
he said his visit town without political
significance. Asked about the Republican situation
in the western end of the state Mr.. Wadsworth,
who owns and runs farm OF 1.a0 acres. said:
The situation out way is just about as Re
publcans would expect it TO be. Republicans are
enthusiastic over the nomination of Taft and sher-
man. and they will roll up oldtime for
them The ticket seems to suit Republicans of all
shades OF political opinion The conservatives like
II because they believe Judge Taft is the very high
type of Republican, standing for business pros
perity. and integrity of the courts. and for all the
best things that Repubcansm means. The radi-
Gals like Taft because they believe he will carry
out Roosevets policies just he has promised in
his speech of acceptance
His speech OF acceptance. by the way, suited
everyone. Sherman is liked because he is New
York man, has made a most excellent record in the
lower house and represents the militant spirit in
the Republican State organization. Organism is
not whit stronger in the western end of the state
men what there Is of them, show disposition to
stand I'D and be counted, and of course the Re
pubIcans can stand good deal of that, as Hearst
will draw more largely from Bryan than from us.
The feeling prevails generally that business will
,rprove right through the fall, and that with the
election of Taft and Sherman shall have a long
continued period of prosperity.

MITCHELL SURPRISES LABOR MEN.
Absence from Campaign Will Hurt Gompers
They Say-Blame for Bryan.

There was some surprise among the labor men
in this city yesterday the announcement that
John Mitchell. who has taken charge OF the trade
department of the Civic Federation, will not take
any part in the campaign. Mr.. Mitchell the
right hand man Of Mr.. Gompers, and. member
of the executive council of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. is bound by it's decisions
In case Mr.. Mitchell continues in his decision to
lieutenant at time when he most needs help. and
men at the action of Mr.. Gompers IN urging the
support of Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic party
this is looked on as q great blow to him. One
son for this is that Mr. Mitchell, being sparing of
speeches his utterance would have weight
than otherwise.
In some cases the dissatisfaction of the la Dor
men is not with Mr.. Gompers but with Mr.. Bryan
Among these is President Young of the New York
branch of the Lithographers International Pro-
tective and Beneficial Association. who said: II
believe bad the part of BRYAN to
force himself as the candidate of the Democratic
party after being defeated twice. There
in the party who would have stood better chance
than he has, and if he had the interests Of the
party heart he would have stood aside and sup
ported a who would have had a better follow
mig Bryan has his personal ambition at heart
and the grandstnnd methods by which he forced
himself the head of the ticket will ALLEVIATE
votes than anything else. The eighty-seven min
of cheering for him at the convention will
fool any intelligent voter No with any sense
would suppose that there could be such a thing as
