MANY FINE EXHIBITS
The Territorial Fair To Be
the Best Yet Held
in Arizona

| PHOENIX, ARIZONA, Nov. 4
Phoenix was never so eiaborately
decorated and gorgaously iIiumi-
mated, nor in a happier frame of
mind all in anticipation of the big
1910 Territorial Fair. The fair
management says it will be the best
Fair ever held in Arizona. Ger
tainly the preparations are on a
grander scale than ever before.
Exhibitions for the mineral de-
partment have been arriving for
the past two weeks. Colonel Epes
Randolph, superintendent of this
department, has made several trips
to encourage exhibitors in all parts
of the Territory.
In the horse and mule depart
| ment, one stable in Maricopa county
will show thirty-six colts, all of
them prize winners wherever they
have exhibited.
The morning parade of blue rib
bon cattle has always been a feature
of the Fair, and this year will be
more than worth while seeing.
The superintendent of the sheep
show has been so successful this
year that over nine different breeds
of sheep will be on exhibition. All
Of the larger sheep outfits of north
ern Arizona will have exhibits at
this years Fair.
AL Tyler, who last year was
judge in the poultry department,
upon completing his work said:
There never was better all-round
exhibition of ducks, turkeys, pigeons
and ostriches in any show l have
ever attended, and l have worked
continuously as a judge for the
past ten years in different States
from the Atlantic to the Pacific"
This year, the show Al Taylor was
speaking of, will far surpass that
of any previous year.
In the past the apiary and dairy
departments have been small, this
year there is keen rivalry and the
dairy exhibit in particular will be
one Of the most interesting on the
Fair grounds.
The woman's department, with
its various branches, culinary, fine
arts and textile fabrics, is always
interesting and special premiums
have brought an increased number
of exhibitors.
1t is to be expected that following
last years contest for the banner
agricultural county prize, that this
year more concern will be paid by
the county commissioners to this
department. AS one agriculturalist
put it: The county that wins first
prize this year will know that they
have been in some fight" Yuma,
Cochise, Yavapai, Pima and Mari
copa are all going after it and will
have big exhibits at the Fair.
The exhibits for the educational
department have been 60 carefully
planned that with but few exceptions
every school district in Arizona will
be represented.
Of course the speed events on the
race track, both horse and auto
mobile, are the principle part of the
afternoon program. The automo-
bile drivers are some of the best
known men in their line in the
country. While of the horses en-
tered fully 70 per cent. have per-
formed upon the Grand Circuit,
The Phoenix Board of Trade have
opened an information bureau con-
tanning lists of several thousand
rooms which can be secured at
reasonable rates. Visitors to the
Fair should write or telegraph to |
Harry Welch, secretary of the Or
ganization, for reservations. This
will be open day and night.
