Crowds Of Them Expect to At-
 tend Arizona Fair COAST HORSES COMING
Fen s. Hildreth Returns From a Most Successful Fair Boosting Trip Says All Los Angeles Is Inter
 ested in Territorial Show.

Ben S Hildreth, superintendent of speed for the territorial fair commis- sion. returned yesterday from Los An geles, where he went for the purpose of boosting the fair and especially in teTViewing the horsemen relative to their plans for coming to the Arizona fair this fall. He returns more en- thusiastic than he ever was before about the Arizona fair. He says the California people are greatly interest ed. Almost every horseman he met, and he met most of them, said he was coming to the fair, and most of them will bring horses. They have made careful note of the fine purses offered and those of them who have been here before cannot say too much in praise of Arizona, her fair and her people. Even the stable boys and swipes are all loud in yelling for Arizona and in sist that they will make it their special business to boost for Arizona during the entire racing season in California this sumner.
 The first California meeting was in San Rernardino, the second was pulled off in Los Angeles while MT. Hildreth was there, and the horsemen will all work north to Portland, the last meet ing, then ship their stock to Phoenix. All who have been here are loud in their praise of the climate. the people. the track and plant and the manage mcnt cf the fair from President Adams down. saving they never received bet ter treatment.
 But the horscmen arc not alone in tcrested; everybody who has been watching things is yelling for Arizona and the fair A friend took Mir. Hil- lreth in te see the famous Jim Jef- fries T5raC Ce.--sIfld -fntroduccd him to Manager Keppler, who at once warm ed up over Arizona. He told MT. Hil- dreth to save him a box for himself and friends and their wives. for they would sure be down here to fill it, and he believed the big slugscr himself would be one of the party.
 Frank Jones, owner of Carleton, a horse that was seen here to good ad vantage last fair, ordered a box re- served and said he was coming with his wife and friends and hoped while here to enjoy some quail shooting for which Arizona is justly famous
 The automobile people are likewise enthuscd. Mir Hildreth says that while they are a little tied up over technical matters, good feeling pre- vails among them and he believes that before fair time all will be straight ened out and there will be a fine list of entries for The Republicans trophy as well as the races at the fair. One enthusiast told him that while he was not d racer, or had no car to enter, he is coming down to see the sport. Man ager Mitchell, of the Hollenbeck, says he is going to try and be here, and, in fact, it looked last week as though all the Los Angeles home people were. looking PhoeniXward.
 The big copper stake has attracted a great deal of attention. Mir. Hil- dreth feels sure that there will be many entries. The Los Angeles Times

THE BOY CHOPIN.
A Gifted and Lovable Child Who Early
 Showed His Great Genius.

From St. Nicholas.
 Frederic Francis Chopin was a bright happy little lad, over-flowing with fun and good spirits, but, while still mere baby, if he heard music everything else was forgotten and he would listen eager ly. his big brown eyes slowly filling with tears, not of unhappiness, but of pleas ure so exquisite that there seemed no other way of expressing it.
 Almost as soon as he could walk he would climb up on the stool before the piano and try to make music for himself. His parents seemed to take it a mat ter of course that their son should inherit their own love of music. and one of the best masters in Warsaw was engaged to give him piano lessons. which he shared with his older sister.
 Little Frederic not only made surprisr. ing progress. leaving his clever sister far behind, but soon the tiny hands sought and found lovely new melodies and chords. and he would beg his teacher to write them down for him. As he grew older he would make up stories on the piano." as he called it. All his life, even after his fame became worldwide. he ex ercised this wonderful gift of improvis- ing and many who were priviliged to hear him have said that beautiful as his written music is, only those who sat near him in the twilight and listened in rapt silence to the divine sounds which the slender fingers sent pulsating through the stiffness knew the greatness of his gen. ius.

that sort of thing, the same as with the men. He made an appointment with the women to be at the side door about an hour after the time he agreed to meet the men there. and then he hurried off and fixed 1t all up with friend of his who lived out in Kapiolani Park, little ways out of town
 This friend had a big wide porch to his house, what they call lanai over there. and it was divided across the mid dle with a screen partition. By lighting up one half of the porch and placing the lamps in the right position. nobody in the light half could see anybody in the dark half, no matter how close he looked You've seen the same effect on the stage with a screen drop curtain. you know This chauffeur and his friend hired three girls to do the dance and an old gray haired native to thump the gourd that serves them for an orchestra, and then they went and got the Shriners. They ushered them into the light part of the porch and seated them with their backs to the screen partition just to play doubly safe, and then the driver hustled off and brought their wives out. The man that owned the place was a good piano player and he kept the men entertained and also kept the native girls under cover. until he was sure his pal was ready to slip in with the ladies.
 "Then he introduced the native girls and when the Shriners were busy watch ing the first movement of the dance their wives stole into the dark half of the porch and sat watching the whole show They could see perfectly plain, of course, though nobody could see them at all
 "The idea of the driver was to sneak away with the ladies just before the dance was over and then come back and take the men to the hotel later. but he
