THE HUMMING STATE FAIR.

The strenuous efforts by the Stat
Fair Association to make the cominS
fair record in every respect are bear
ing good fruit. One of the great ele
ments that go to making real State
Fair is the co-opcration of the differ
ent counties in sending their best prod
ucts of every kind for comparison anC
competition. We notice that mum
Der of the counties, including the
largest outside of Salt Lake county
have given notice of their intention to
exhibit as counties, and to make q
showing of county products such as will
make the State Fair fairly competitive
and show a representative exhibit of
the best that the State affords in all
departments that may be put on view
and in competition at such function.
The private exhibitors will by no
means be ovcrshadowed by these county
exhibits; for, individual exhibits of SUI
perior excellence are sure of recognl-
ton. And the county exhibits will be
each unit besides the admirable spe-
cialties competing for superiority; for
each will compete as to completeness
of exhibit and thoroughness of repre-
sentative showings from the different
portions of the State. Some counties
will show very large lines of exhibits,
others will be more limited, but the
least limited may prove to be Just as
meritorious as the more extensive ones,
by reason Of the superiority of special
articles in various lines, And this idea
applies also to individual exhibitors in
equal degree.
Besides the exhibits, the managers of
the fair have arranged for various
some of these quite out
Of the ordinary, as the details printed
from day to day have shown.
The annual State Fair should be q
source of great pleasure, not only to
the exhibitors who enter the compcti-
ton, but to every citizen of the State. |
Besides, 1t will be instructive and at
tractlve to strangers. Strenuous efforts |
should be made to obtain the attend !
