departments there was a bigger an,
better showing than last year. Th'
cattle and swine exhibits were ap
proximately twice as numerous and al
these superintendents saw the resul
of special work. The poultry show
was ably conducted by C. E. Conners
! There were not quite so many bird:

the exhibit nevertheless was a fine
one. A w. Galpin had charge of the
bench show in connection and hat
many more entries than the year be-

the apiary and had good show
though as heretofore commented upon
| there are more bee-keepers in the
country who ought to be represented
at next years fair The superinten-
dent cannot force them to bring their
exhibits, but those who did make ex-
hibits surely did themselves proud
The same is true of the dairy ex-

Superintendent Ernest Hall. His hon
or is divided with the commissioners
of the various counties, most notable
among them are A. A. Johns of Pres
colt, o. j. Ames of Jerome, J. II.
Coleman of Yuma and Elliot Evans of
Maricopa.
In this connection it should be noted
that Secretary Harry Welch of the
Phoenix Board of Trade and his assis-
tants, not only contributed largely to
the Maricopa exhibit but Mr.. Welch in
looking after the rooming of strangers
in the city and in score of other
ways, served the town, county and
fair, very notably. Though not with
the fair he was of it,
The mineral department as hereto
fore was under the superintendent of
Col. Epes Randolph of Tucson, J. c.
Goodwin as heretofore, representing
him in spirit and in the flesh and
preparing an exhibit that added to the
permanent display made fine i'm
preston both on home people and
strangers within the gate. The min
eral display has outgrown the building
assigned for it and Mr. Goodwin says
that if the commission will provide
him a larger building he can get from
the Copper Queen, the United Verde
and other big companies permanent
display that will be standing adver-
tisement for Arizona throughout the
in addition to the countless
smaller exhibits. 1t has been the
hope heretofore that the mineral de-
partment building might be given over
to some other department for which
it is particularly adapted, and larger
one built for the mineral display. |
The superintendent of admissions
was James e. Bark who organized
that department with such system
that not a hitch occurred and some
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars
was handled with the carefulness and
accuracy of a bank. while the numer-
ous gate keepers and others engaged |
were at all times courteous. polite and
accommodating.
To George Purdy Bullard, president |
Of the Maricopa County Automobile |
