Jonn V. AuduS ot tuS icffitotsei Fair commission stopped off in Bisbee yesterday on his way east from Phoenix. He was met here by B. A. Packard. also of the commission. ani the two spent busy day boosting for the Territorial fair and especially for the Copper Stake which will t'e the greatest racing event ever run in Arizona. MT. Adams left on the eve ming train east and Mir. Packard re- turned to his home in Douglas on the same train.
 { Mir. Adams was seen by a Review reporter yesterday afternoon, after he had spent a busy day in the city. and he talked enthusiastically of the fair and it's prospects for this year.
 We have had a most encouraging day" said Mir. Adams. Here in Bis bee we have had quite as much if not more encouragement than has been offered us elsewhere and you can put me down as saying that the success of the fair is assured.
 The Great Cooper Stake.
 The Copper Stake" continued Mir. Adams, will be the greatest racing event ever pulled of in the southwest. The original plan was for a single purse of 5000. but it has grown be- yond those proportions and we will have two events for 5000 each. one for trotters. eligible to the 2-l9 class and one for pacers eligible for the POS class. With such purses as these. we are assured of having the greatest horses and the richest horse owners with us at the fair. We are in the Greatwestern Circuit which takes in all the greatest cities of the west and whose season commenced on the third of this month and will continue until after our territorial fair. November l5 to IS. with week stands at each track. This and the prizes, assure us of the best horses and l belle 'e territorial and southwestern records will be broken at the coming meet For instance. Denver is eligible for and entered in the trot and this great horse recently did the mile in Louis vile in POS flat. Other owners oi horses will include George Estabrooi; of Denver who has the most costly stable in the country and who within the past few months has purchased a dozen horses at an average cost c: $10.o00 each He will enter horses not only in the Copper Stake. but also in the other events the card will contain.
 Leads in Large Purses.
 And right here let ne tell you. added Mir. Adams. that the Arizona fair will this year hang up largei purses than any state fair held in this country except Wisconsin alone This means we shall have the entries and that the visitors of Phoenix will have the greatest racing treat in the way of harness matinees that has ever been offered in the southwest
 On his trip east Mir. Adams will ar ange for further entries in the fai races at Phoenix and continue boost ing the fair He said yesterday tha' the purses for the track events were not the only improvements to be founC this year, but that the premium list had been increased all along the linz which means excellence in all depart ments. There is no friction in th. | board and Mir. Adams declared tha he and his colleagues. Messrs. Pack ard and Campbell would, if necessar. | sacrifice their private business q | make this years fair the succes \ which they have determined upon. Wont Talk Politics
