BEST YET SAYS MCDONALD.
Taking every department into con-
gideration separately and collectively,
this IS the largest, most complete and
most interesting fair ever held IN
Utah" said President Mcdonald. and
"A fgnNfnpaH that ~ has Interested
the people OF the entire state to such
an extent that they VIII combine TO
make next years fair greater still.
The fair of 1909 has been splendid
criterion of the states progress during
the last year. Tho separate depart
ments are so varied and extensive that
a detailed statement concerning the
fair az a whole Is impossible at present.
But a few salient points may be made
now For instance. though we built 30
new stalls. besides a new corral for
jacks. we did not have fourth of the
room needed 20 accommodate the mum
erous entries I'm the horse department
There were 225 entries. but we could
only give them IS stalls. and / ana
ashamed 70 admit that We were COM
PEELED to ask many horsemen TO stable
their best hoods In places over Salt
Lake city, for lack Of room. We were
unprepared for the large number of
draft horses OF superior breeds that
came into the fair. We had 255 entries
in cattle with only 1856 stalls In the
speed department. we mad to insist on
many Of the owners quartering their
horses elsewhere. And so II went IN
other lines of exhibits.
NEW BUILDINGS TO COME.
But this has taught as a lesson. and
oil thine 10 No
cur again. Our experience IN this fair
proves TO ms that Utah has grown won
derfully within the last year. Indeed
the exhibits were beyond our widest
hopes The state will progress even
faster In the coming year than she did
in the last T. months. This means that
we must provide new and larger build
ings for tho exhibits in several depart
ments We must have more stables, 50
that in the next fair every horse may
have suitable stan. We must have an
other building TO take care Of the over
How of manufacturing exhibits from
the present building.
Already. the merchants of tho state
are clamoring for space in the next fair
We must see that this needed space is
provided.
In this connection. hhope that next
year We shall have sufficient space and
colleges and universities Of Utah We
want the University Of Utah and the
Brigham Young university to make as
big displays as the Utah Agricultural
college did this year

VERITABLE REVELATION.

and have experience I'm such matters.
! must SAY That the showing made by
Utah's home industries 40 the fair this
year has been a surprising revelation
10 me II is tangible proof of Utah's
swift growth and wonderful progress.
Many visitors from the outside have
Informed me that the manufacture

most varied collection of manulac-
lures that Wc have ever seen displayed

looking over the manufacturing ox-
hinits. that hc had not hoped 10 sec

Leading authorities have told me
that uo better specimens in the yari-
ou- breeds shown could be found any

among thc winners in the grand live

"Thc perchcrous. imported direct
