 But there are enough grand ccr- tainties for the fair, already arranged for. to make it one of the best eyer held in the territory or even else where Perhaps one of the greatest of these certaiuties is that the show of fast horses. this year. will un- doubtedly be the greatest ever seen here; also the show of other horse ard cattle, as we'll

Dorothy DeVonda, young and | fair who will make a balloon ascen- sion every day to the height of 20O0 feet, and drop from the balloon at l. that altitude by means of a para chute, performing on a trapaZe as she goes up by the balloon.

There will also be the team of hay wagon rube' acrobats who charmed the people in this part of the United States at the fair of 1909. Patrick l. and Francisco; they have been pos itively engaged. Rush Razee, the shooting popularizer of Y. c NJ. cartridges and other powder ma terials, will also be here and he may have some company in that line Hon. Paul Burks of Prescott. for in stance.
