not except any of them,
There are lots of people here and
more are coming if one may judge BY
the demand for room reservations
and hotel accommodations that have

buquerque, ! must say they are doing
the honors and doing them without
stint If any one can not have a good
time at this fair they could not have

predecessors, is the hustle and vim
that is apparent on all sides. And
those paved streets and new clusters
of street lights, help whole lot. They
give our metropolis real metropil- |
tan air and you can walk down Central
avenue in the evening looking at the
shop windows, and if you have just a

and the spectators will again witness
some of this daring bird mans aerial
stunts.
