There Is nothing too good for the peo-
pie of Utah, if IL can be enjoyed by
the citizens OF other states, and 1t is
my desire and intention to make
Utah's state fair one of the most IA
nous in the country.
THE directors of the fair have
proven, at least to their own salts
faction and pleasure. that horse rae
ing is a success without pools and
initials. and they are borne out I'm
this belief by the fact that the gate
receipts TO the race course have COW
cred the entire expense of the speed
department for the year. To us this
is very gratifying.
