Magnificent individual racing events have been witnessed at every Ari- zona fair but never before in its his tory and seldom on any fair ground has there been such a beautiful dem onstration of equine athletics as was presented in yesterdays program. One worlds record broken by Lady Maud c. a pacing mare; the track record for speed, which is only three quarters of second behind the worlds record of speed with out a pace maker. equaled by Minor Heir who previously made both the worlds racing record and the track record; a fine exhibition by George Gano who failed to beat his own time but nevertheless slit the air wide open; comprised the sen sational incidents of the day. There were three other good harness events, three running events and burro races, and Mrs S A Echlin's trained trick horse performance, which made up an incOmparable menu of track revels.
 The weather was ideal and the crowd immense, one Of the largest that ever assembled on the grounds and excelled only by the big Dan Patch and Minor Heir day of a year ago. The fair grounds were alive with people, the midway was whOop- ing things up all the time, the ex- hibiton halls were features of attrac- ton and the balloon played to a full house, that is to say it went up and down so frequently the nervous peo- pie on the ground were afraid it would wear out the string that held it cap tive.
 The Appetizer.
 The three big exhibition horses of the day are all from the Savage stable and George Gano came to the wire first as an appetizer. George is not what one calls a really fast horse in this day and age for his record is only 2:02H But he is young yet and already he can beat a lot of old farm skates throughout the country and is making the most of his op- pDI llilllltS III lAlt NVAAle'AS VII DeNA Patch. Minor Heir. Lady Maud c. and others who are acknowledged to be classy.
 It was hardly expected yesterday that he would beat his own record as it is the last end of a very hard season for him and he has had rath- CT an .overplus of work. having criss- crossed the country while engaged in laying the foundation of a reputa- ton. But the weather and track con- ditions were so good yesterday that it was hoped he might exceed ex- pectations. He was driven by Her sey and accompanied by Gabriel bet ter known as Mag the Rag" the running horse owned by the Savage stable and especially trained to coax fast miles out of fast horses. He is taught to run in a sulky just as the others are taught to pace in one and under Nash's whip he is equally as dependable.
 Gano made a perfect mile and a good one but there was nothing dO- ing in the record business. He touch ed the quarter in 30k. but he could not sustain 1t. The next post was passed in 1:02, the next a triffle faster in 1:33h and the finish in 2:O3%, which was his record at the beginning of the season
 The Banquet.
 The real thing in exhibitions yes terday was Lady Maud c who took a turn at record smashing. Of course Minor Heir travelled faster a little later on but he didn't break rec ord and yesterday was Lady Maud's day for doing things, clipping her record two seconds which is worth as much to her owner as all it costs to bring her out to Phoenix. It is frankly confessed that the ambition of her driver was to place her in the two minute class. If which there are only eight in the world. and he fa.l- ed yesterday by half a second There is no fault found with results and
