FINE EXHIBITS AT
THE CAMP VERDE FAIR.
(Ffom Wednesdays Dsny.)

OF Prescott made trip to Camp
Verde yesterday to attend the initial
fair given by the people OF that
prosperous section of Yavapai Coun-
ty. Although II was long and ar
duous trip all felt we'll repaid for
they were afforded the opportunity
Of viewing products Of the soil that
were simply marvellous in size and
quality.
The fair lasted two days, yestcr-
day being the closing one. The at
tendance was large. particularly on
Monday but the crowd was OF a size
yesterday to cause wonderment as
to where all the people came from.
But they were there and looked
at their own achievements and OF
their neighbors and contrasted them.
There was not an exhibit however
but was worthy of praise.
Both days there was a sport pro-
gram. Monday being devoted to
feats Of horsemanship and Tuesday
to a baseball game in the forenoon
and racing events in the afternoon
The ball game was between teams
of single and married men, and the
youths with no matrimonial yokes
around their necks got away with
the long end OF the score.
Tho feature of the race program
was a running event between a bay
and a black marc. The bay was by
long odds the favorite in the betting
and it looked like easy pickings for
her. There were few game sports
however who riskcd their shcckels a,
the tempting odds offered and to
the surprise Of everyone. even the
owner. the old black buggy horse
beat out the thoroughbred by a nose
thereby causing great joy to we'll up
in the hearts OF the game sports
who had taken forlorn chance.

pie arc going to outshine themselves
