President J. G.. Mcdonald Says
1t Will Be Greatest
Ever Held.
ASSOCIATION IS WORKING
OUT COMPLETELY NEW IDEA
One Will See Features at the
Exposition Without Grand
Stand Fare.

"Ctah's Slate fair this year will he the
finest exhibition ever held In the state,
said President j. c.. Mcdonald or the
association Saturday. II am not saying
this bonstfu!ly because much OF the
merit Of the fair Will be due to the ad-
vance OF the state and much more TO the
splendid efforts OF all the members OF the
association. But II Will certainly be
magnificent exhibition and one OF which
every citizen OF the state may well be
proud We are having satisfactory CO.
operation on the part OF great many OF
the leading men In Utah everybody Is
helping, and the result | am sure. Will
be OF kind TO crafty all who wish well
for the state
Though the fair dates. October to S,
are nearly n month distant, q large num-
Der OF entries has already been made.
The entries already In and the inquiries
which are daily reaching the office OF tho
dicate that the exhibits Will far surpass
In number and quality those OF the 1909
fair. Last year these exhibits reached q
hitherto unprecedented fgure, being con.
siderably In excess OF 10 300, exclusive of
250 horses which were raced during the
fair.
Some idea of the variety OF articles on
which prizes will be given Is afforded by
the premium book, which Is Il substantial
volume of 1872 pages. Exhibitors will re-
ceivc more than $4,000 In cash prizes;
twenty-four cups and seventy gold
medals
Working New Idea.
new idea is being worked out this
year in connection with the fair. or.
rather, an amplihcation of an old idea.
II is that the fair is u public institu-
tion. II should be made as easy as possi-
bic for the public to see 1t. In the past
there have been free features in the form
of entertainment. but the greater part
OF the entertainment has been given In
front OF the grand stand. SO that the
association was able to depend on IL large
admissions. This year all OF the free en-
tertainmcnt Will be given In the open and
VIII be visible without necessitatinG a
seat In the grand stand. AS $4,000 Is be-
Ing expended for these features-and
more will be expended II a satisfactory
airship can be secured-the directors feel
That they are taking chance. though
they feel confident that the public will
respond TO the better and cheaper enter
tainment by attending In greatly in
creased numbers. At any rate. the di-
rectors say that they will have the salts
faction of having given the best possible
at tho lowest possible price
priatlon Of $4,000 has been made, which,
1t Is believed, Will assure satisfactory
racing during the entire fair.
Horace 5. Ensign, who has been sec
retary of the association for four years
is hoping for better weather than was
accorded the fair management for the
1903 exhibition. Last year the air was
tendance OF 10000 In 1908, the aggregate
dropped TO 10000. With fair weather. it
is expected that tho 1908 figures win he
far surpassed.
