GOVERNOR HUNT
 DELIVERS ADDRESS
In Episcopal Church on "What Tn an k s givin g Means to Arizona" " Crowds Get Outdoors i'll Afternoon and at Night.

Thanksgiving passed off quietly and delightfully."- in the city of Phoenix yesterday It was an ideal day, and in the afternoon, after the gatherings requested by the authorities had been attended, and full justice had been done to many luckless Salt River turkey. thousands took advantage of the sunshine and the -<Iorious after noon to get out of doors, either rid ing. driving of walking. The repu- tation possessed by the city for law fitness was well kept up. There was an absolute absence of rowdyism of any sort evidenced during the entire day and night.
 The morning daWncd bright and sunny with just enough briskness in the air to make one wanF to get down town and mix with the fellows. The effect of this was to give the ser vices in the churches an extra large congregation as all the offices and most of the places of business were closed.
 Two good and lasting addresses were delivered during the day to the assemblages of the morning. Gov ernor Hunt in his address printed herewith spoke at the Episcopal Pro Cathedral. "Thc Meaning of Thanksgiving to the state of Arizona while Rev r. C. Reid, synodical mis- sionary of the Presbyterian church preaching at the Union services at the Southern Methodist church drew upon his knowledge of heather lands and the difference between them and this country, and what the people of America have to be thankful for in consequence.
 Governor Hunt said: "The first Manufacturing day under Statehood means much to Arizona. Divine guidance and favor have been in evidence during the past year, and as the citizens of the new state re view the events connected with their civic progress and material welfare, their sense of happiness and con- tentment must swell their feelings of gratitude to Almighty God today Arizona at home and it's friends abroad have been guided aright The human desire for better things along the lines of eqauity, fairness and charity in the relations between man has been blessed and encouraged by the kindly smile of Providence. Thls partnership has been the most po- tent force in building the foundations of a great commonwealth, and today we gladly bear testimony to the truth that it is the only force to be depended upon. Without such part nership man is helpless.
 i In greeting it's first Thanksgiving I as state Arizona will serve the purpose of the day in the highest de gree by noting the gains of common l humanity, the added material well l fare, coming as a reward of correct | living If Arizona people have in the 1 past been restricted in their power to promote the larger field of life, and i to better themselves morally and physically, the barriers have been swept away by statehood. To them | Thanksgiving Day is reminder of the new opportunity that has come 1 for their own progress. It should i fill them with joy as they give l thanks, but not lessen their sense of responsibility. The divine purpose,
 so evident in this gift of self-gOvern- ment must be recognized in the flu
 ture as it has been in the past, by ! applying the test of simple honesty l and justice to all acts which touch
 upon the relations between men. We 1 remember today that the humblest
 citizen has been given a voice to this | end, something for which Arizona has l striven these many years. We feel deep gratitude for this, and if in this hour of appreciation we renew | and strengthen our resolve to apply the Golden Rule to all practical af-
 fairs, large or small touching the
 welfare alike of the capitalist and the | wage earner, we will best serve the meaning of Thanksgiving to Arizona
 as a state, not only this year but in
 the years to come"
 The interest of the sporting frat
 ernity in Phoenix was yesterday cen tered on the Pacific coast where in San Francisco and Los Angeles
 the big four of the lightweight div
 ision of the prize ring were contest
 ing before thousands of bowling fans
 in their elimination contests. There | were a number of recOrts in the city
 receiving returns and around these
 the fight fans gathered to listen to
 the returns as they came in.
 At night the theaters did land of
