STARS OF TWO CIRCUITS
And a Large Majority of Most Noted Trainers of United States Will Be Drawn to Phoenix Next November.

Commissioner J. C. Adams of the territorial fair returned yesterday after an absence of more than six weeks, in which he visited almost every point on both the Grand and Great Western racing circuits. He brought back with him enthusiasm regarding the racing department of the fair, the entries for which he says will be more than double the number of those at any previous that there will be a bigger meet in Phoenix next November than was wit messed at any point on either of the great circuits.
 A majority of all the noted trainers and horses in the United States will be here. The following is a catalogue of the trainers mentioned by MT. Adams:
 Ed. Geers, the dean of trainers, fam ous on the track when many middle aged men were small boys, will have a carload of horses, among them the Harvester, who, as a three -year-old, last year made the record of 2:0S%, but he had to do it to beat the Arizona colt, Justo, the property of Mrs. Adams. This year, the Harvester re- duced his time to 2:O6A. Another not ed horse in the Geers string will be Sterling Mckinney with a record of 2:O5 A.
 Another trainer will be Gus Macey, the driver of the most expensive stable in the United States, that of George EasterbroOk of Denver, which will in- clude five horses of $1O,0OO each. Tommy Murphy will be here with a big stable whose bright particular star is George Gano, the winner this year of the Chamber of Commerce stakes at Detroit. w. L. Snow will come with Star Patchen, second in that race with a record of 2:O5.
 Charlie Dean will be on hand with some phenomenal horses, among them Minor Heir, which raced with Dan Patch, and Fleming B.
 Another famous trainer who will be seen at the fair is Dan McMahon, who took one of the best strings over the Grand and Great Western circuits.
 Dick Wilson will be here with Hedgewood Boy and Lady Maud c, full brother and sister. They have been entered in the 2:05 and free-for- all pace at the territorial fair. They are the most sensational pacers that have appeared on the American track for years. They have been racing in the east and appearing in exhibition racers. Until this season the worlds record for team pacing was 2:O5H. HedSewood Boy and Lady Maud c. re- duced these figures to 2:02h. Mir Wilson informed MT. Adams that he had been informed by many hOrseman that the Phoenix track was the fastest in the United States and he said that he hoped to cut the record a little deeper. These horses will appear in exhibition races here with the expecta- ton that they will set a two-minute mark.
 One of the most noted trainers of the country, Lon Mcdonald, will be present. MT. Mcdonald has the dis tinction of winning the biggest stake ever offered. This capture was made at Boston with Allen Winter. The amount of it was s30,OO0. Mir. Me Donald won the M. & M. stake with the roan mare, Margin, in 2:06A, she and other horses of a famous string will be seen at the fair.
 MT. Adams said that the Arizona Copper stake for trotting and pacing would bring in practically all the famous horses on the two great cir cults.
 Speaking of racing officials, MT. Adams said that no definite arrange ments had yet been made. except as to the official starter. Before the appointment last spring of commits sioners, Adams and Campbell, Com missioner Packard had entered into a contract with Dr. Stone.
