ARIZONA FAIR NOTES

The Arizona State Fair commission met on September 29th to take up tue final details in regard to the Ninth Annual State Fair, which from the present outlook will be the greatest in the history of the state. F'
 On September 22 the books we're opened for box reservations. and there were applications for every box in the grand stand, with some twenty or thirty more than could be supplied. Some ten or a dozen boxes will be built, but not near enough to supply the demand. Next year when there will probably be built another addt- tion to the grand stand, the suppy may equal the demand.
 The fame of the Fair is growing. and is not confined to the state. as is evidenced by the following from the Chicago Horse Review: AS veryone knows. this great state fair and racing carnival, the week of Nov. S-S, closes the Great Western Circuit and the season of racing on the firstclass mile tracks. only a few years ago Phoenix was not on the way as a trotting town, but now it is the biggest stop between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains, as it's track is ore of the fastest in the world. some say the fastest; it's weather is famous the world over and the liberal way in which the horsemen are treated has become proverbiaL"
 The Western Horsemen predicted some months ago that the Arizona State Fair track would from now on be the greatest meeting pIance and battle grounds between the eastern and the western hOrsemen. This fight will perhaps reach it's cruX in the Free for All pace, where the great mare "Leatta J." 2:O3, the sensation Of the Grand Circuit this year will meet Don PrOntO," 2:02h2. Joe Patch en IT. 2:O3 1-4, and perhaps Jim To- gan" 2:03 1-4. and King Daphne" @:0Ia. Mimi Chimes" 2:041z, the great sensation of last var is also entered in the State Fair races. Jim mic McVav says he proposes to take the scaIps of all to decorate his dn at Hutchinson, Kansas. Also Pop" Grees has about made up his mind to bring Anvil" 2:O4 1-4, for the purpose of giving him the stallion record for 1913.
 This year the Phoenix Board of Trade has guaranteed a S5O00 purse, known to be the Phoenix Board Of Trade Stake, 2:12 trot; and the differ ent copper companies have contri- buted towards a stake, known as the Copper Stake, this year designated as the 2:1O pace.
 The Calumet & Arizona Copper company of Bisbee. instead of donat- ing to the copper state, decided to donate the Calumet & Arizona Band for Fair week. This is one of the fn- est bands in the southwest. and will be great acquisition for the Fair. The men are paid g. per diem 10 fur nish good music, and will travel In q spcial Pullman to the Fair. All eX- penses estimated to aggregate sl25j will be met by the Calumet Arizona Copper company.
