"Panama-Pacific Race Meeting Change
At a meeting Of the Executive
Committee OF the Panama Pacific
international Exposition race
meeting held yesterday, com
munications from Ed A. Upton,
president of the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Associa-
ton, H. K. Devereuk, J. @.
Bauer, members of the Advisory
anu OUileES, were
read, urging the postponement
of the fall race meeting on the
exposition track one week so as
to permit ample time for horses
engaged at the Lexington meet
ing in 1915 to race at the eX-
position meeting and take in the
Arizona State Fair at Phoenix.
D. O. Lively, chief of the De-
partment Of Livestock. Division
Of Exhibits, stated the program.
me of events on the exposition
track could be arranged SO as to
permit of the Dostponement, and
it was ordered that the fall race
meeting commence on Saturday,
October Both, running two weeks
from that date. 1t is also plan
ned to make special provisions
for shipping from the Lexington
meeting and to secure a low rate
as the horses are shipped here
for exhibition purposes. The
adoption of this measure har-
monies the interests of all con-
cerned, and the management of
offered to do all in their power
to promote the exposition meet
ing and to help secure entries
for the four big events to close
on Septem Der 1st. There is no
question but the change will be
a popular one with all concern
ed"
The above from the Breeder
and Sportsman indicates in a
measure what can be done to
advertise Arizona if we hustle.
The Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition has offered
1925 900 in two great race meets
for 1915. The summer meeting
to be held in June and the fall
meeting to be held in November.
This meeting will be won
deful help to the Arizona State
Fair and the State of Arizona if
properly taken advantage of.
In 1914 it is the plan Of the
Eastern HorSeman to come West
and winter and be ready for the
June meet at San Francisco.
Then they will return east for
the Grand Circuit and other
meets and return again to the
west for the late fall meeting at
the exposition.
While east Secretary Wood
was constantly asked the ques-
ton, will you western people
give US good meets in 1914 and
1915, we want to come then sure.
1t is the policy of the Arizona
State Fair Commission to en-
courage county and local fairs
as much as possible. 1t is on
the recommendation of the Fair
Commission that a bill was pass
ed by the Legislature authorizing
tho several county boards Of su-
perViSOrS to use not exceeding
81, 500 for county fair purposes.
It is hoped that by 1915 every
large county in the state will
have a strong Fair Association.
The Southern Fair of Arizona,
Tucson, Arizona, is flOurishing
beyond all expectations. The
citizens of Pima county have
raised nearly $4,000 for per-
manent improvements and ex-
pect to raise So, 200 more for
maintenance and premiums.
