THE NIGHT BEFORE
FINISHING TOUCHES ON FAIR
WEEK EVENTS
The Hour CT Jubilation Gives Way to
That % Con9ratulation

Yesterday was the goodbye day OF
the fair, for with that wonderful in
stitution as with some other things
the morning after is Il le. jtimate part
of the day before. The street decora =
lions still fluttered in the breeze. the
sidewalks were still full of visitors and
tair officials and others We're still busy
with the details of fair week business
The horsemen or most OF them are
still in the city but will begin the re-
moval of their stock today 1t is
! hardly likely that Messrs Geers OF
Durfee will go at once as their valua-
| bic horses are not yet i'm good cOndi-
ton for making the homeward jour
neys.
| The automobile men who were par
! ticularly Interested in the racing have
most of them faded away from view,
scattering east and west but princi-
pally west. Those who came chiefly
with view of future business, the
establishing of agencies. etc. remain
to till the field that had attracted
them here. Harris Hanshue. who was
hurt in one of the races on Thursday,
is still confined To his bed in the Sis
tiers hospital and will be for some time
but he is doing nicely and will make
good recovery in due season.
Speaking of automobiles. To that
part of the weeks entertainment is at
tributed the glory of the only new
speed record of the week In one of
the races on Thursday a five mile lap
was made in 4:46, which it is said is
a new world record for five miles on
circular track.
The greater part of the live stock
exhibits We're taken away from the fair
grounds Saturday night and yesterday
and many exhibits were taken from
the exposition halls. though a lot OF
things remain for removal today.
The fair commission is quite well
pleased with the result of the week.
show The paid admissions were
greater than ever before. but so also
were the expenses. 1t is too early to
determine how the commission will
come out financially. but there is GER
tain to be deficit for. there always is
During the week there were many
annual meetings of one sort or an
other i'm the city. all of which were
fair features in way, for they
brought visitors to Phoenix and the
fair i'm turn was an inducement to peo-
pie all over the territory TO come to
their annual meetings Most notable
among them We're the Cattle Grow
ers association. the Postmasters con-
vention. the Pharmacists and Board Of
Pharmacy. the Dental association, the
w. e. T. L. Also there were fraternal
society doings of more than passing
interest that signalized the week.
The fair commissioners. Messrs. r.
f. Campbell, +. r. Pirtle and w. c..
Foster, are entitled to a great deal of
praise for the close attention they gave
the big show and its successful direc-
ton during the week In large part
the latter duty fell upon subordinates
of whom too much cannot be said i'm
praise. Secretary Shirley Christy and
Assistant Secretary Ned Creighton
were always on the job, and they had
many competent helpers The track
was presided over by w. p. McNair of
Douglas. as starting judge. Mr.. Nc
Nair is a horseman himself. or was i'm
other days. a fact that is quite ap-
parent in the knowledge of the game
he exhibits. He was at all times good
natured both to the public and to the
horsemen except when it became nee
eSSary for him to exact restrictions i'm |
the interest of discipline and good or
der Mr.. McNair was ably assisted by !
set Of capable judges and timers !
and track men. all of whom did their
utmost to make the week a success |
full and an enjoyable one for everybody !
