EVERYTHING READY FOR
TCDAY'S EVENTS AT GROUNDS

The Fair grounds presented scene
of animation yesterday quite differ
ent to that 1t has shown during the
long summer months. the rains Of
last week having soaked tho ground
somewhat, 1t became necessary to
have both the track and baseball
diamond IN shape for running the
races of the meeting and playing the
ball games of the tournament. In or
der to do this many men and teams
were necessary, and these were EN-
pioyed to the best possible advant-
age. nv
Early yesterday morning Manager
Chadbourne of the Street Car COM
pany had men out ,bailing the wa
ter from the baseball field while an
other gang of men under the super
vision of Ed Hanes and w. l..
Trimble were fixing up the race track.
This helped matters along pretty
we'll and by the time the ball game
was called at 2 o'clock the track and
diamond both were in much better
condition than yesterday.
Art Building.
Within the buildings all was bust
ness. The ladies in the art building
were so crowded with exhibits that it
seemed almost impossible to get
everything in place. Admirable tact
and cleverness in arrangement, how
ever, soon brought order and neat
ness out of chaos. By the time the
Fair opens again for business this
morning. the exhibit which is without
doubt the largest ever gotten togeth~
er for a New Mexico State Fair, will
be in readiness for the influx of Wis
itors. Splendid exhibits have been
sent in from Curry, Valencia and
Torrance counties for the art work
department, and the Sisters of ST
Vincent's School have an elegant dis
play of painted china and art work.
A large number CT water colors, and
other paintings have been submitted.
Mrs. George f. Albright Is the su-
perintendent of this department. and
she is being ably assisted NY Mrs. 3.
S. Rodey. Mrs. Rodey has special
charge of the domestic science depart
ment, and she has amassed an exhi-
bition of preserves and dainty cook
cry that positively makes the mouth
water.
The Poultry and Pet Stock Show
IN the poultry and pet stock de-
partment, under the superintendent
of John Rueb, pens of chickens were
being put In place while the young
cockerels were making the welkin
ring with the crows of defiance. A
large number OF pens of ducks are al
so being exhibited. 1t is expected by
noon today that the complete exhibit
of poultry and pet stock for the fair
will be in place,
Agriculture.
The Agricultural building with its
exhibitions of the products of the
dry and irrigated farming districts of
New Mexico will doubtless attract
more attention than anything at the
Fair unless 1t be the flying ma
chimes.
Guadalupe county has a number OF
splendid exhibits in place already, as
have also other sections of the dry
farming country. The Agricultural
building is going to be crowded this
year to its capacity The Texas OH
company was yesterday exceedingly
busy installing splendid display of
their products.
The livestock exhibit has Just be-
gun TO arrive. The first on the
ground were Colonel Buffalo Jones
famous Persian sheep. About rs Of
these animals from the famous ranch
of the equally famous colonel were
driven to the Fair grounds and af-
ter the baseball game they were used
to tramp down the race tack Four of
the famous Catalo were also driven to
the Fair grounds and will he on cx-
hibition today. In addition to this
Colonel Jones has promised a fine ex-
