Notes of the Fair
The schools are not yet all repre-.
sented, though those that are here
make fine exhibits. The report of
this department will be given in de-

The women's fancy goods depart
ment is one of the big attractions of
the fair, the needle work covering a
wide range of work, while paintings
and other artistic work and the can

the exhibit.

New York, Nov. '19.-Ten thousand
tickets to the Army-Navy football
game, to be played at the Polo
grounds here November 20, were put
on sale today. They were quickly
gobbled up. Three times that num-

spectacular athletic event of the year.
Special precautions have been taken
to prevent the usual New York way
of permitting spectators to buy up
great blocks of seats to turn over to
the public at highway robbery prices.

Four rebel officers and forty men

were slain. The rebels took no prisons
ers, but shot all falling into their

The remnants Of the federals took
refuge in the town of Tula, where the
rebels under Villa again routed them
with heavy loss. General Luis Cab

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 19.-It was on
the orders of Gen. Castro, command
er of the federal garrison at Juarez,
that the train carrying Pancho Vii
las 1900 constitutionalists proceeded
from Terrazas station into Juarez
early Saturday morning, according to
Francisco Elias, border representa-
tive of the constitutionalists, who re-
turned here last night from con-
ference with Villa.
"Villa," said Elias, with 5000 men,
comprising both infantry and caval-
ry, made wide detour around Chi
huahua City, reaching Terrazas Fri
day. A small detachment of soldiers
captured the telegraph office before
the operator had an opportunity to
warn the federals at Juarez.
"a train, bound for Chihuahua, ar
rived shortly afterwards. 1t was
captured .by so Of Villas men.
one of the constitutionalists who was
a telegraph operator, took the key.
Calling Juarez, he reported that the
trains engine had gone through
trestle and asked that another en-
gine be sent south.
"That was refused, and orders were
sent to get busy and put the engine
back on the track.
can hour later, Villa ordered the
man to call Juarez and to tell Castro
that the engine had been placed ON
the track again, but that two cul-
verts to the south had been burned
and that it was feared the train
might fall into the hands of the reb-
els. The suggestion was made that
the train return to Juarez.
Castro consented to that move,
and Villas infantry boarded the
train, which proceeded northward. At
each station, four constitutionalists
left the train, which stopped a few
hundred yards south of each station,
and, capturing the telegraph opera
tor, reported the trains arrival and
received orders to proceed to Juarez.
"Thus," concluded Elias, "by Cas-
tro's own orders, the train proceeded
into the center of Juarez before the
presence of the constitutionalist sol
diers was known"
Elias said that Villa had left 1900
men, mostly cavalry, at Terrazas to
prevent any attempt at federal re-
prisals.

Stormy Weather Starts
Fair off Unpleasantly
But it is Big Success


is concerned, there having come on the
valley last night the heaviest rain
for 10 these many moons. Just why
the rain came to inaugurate the fair
is unknown, but sure it is that the
mud and moisture added nothing to
the hilarity of the occasion.
Otherwise conditions were favor
able, for there was a large variety of
products, of live stock and of the
specimens of woman's work and school
work either on exhibition or ready to
bring to the grounds. Then there
were good many strangers present
to attend the fair, while everything
indicated that each day the fair would
be visited by thousands of valley peo-
pie.
This will undoubtedly be the case
in large degree in spite of the rain,
which it is hoped will clear up in time
for the great success which seemed
about to be realized
The crowd that came in this morn
ing included a large number of pro-
fessional fair people, who have had
booths erected on the ground by ad-
vance representatives, and many rep
resentatives of Los Angeles firms
which have exhibits for the fair.
The great tent loaned by Swanfeldt
of Los Angeles and which was erect
ed by Frank Reading and A. Fl. Girls
void, has added the needed space for
exhibition purposes.
Entries of live stock to compete for
prizes offered by the fair associa-
tion and individual merchants broke
the records of all previous fairs, num-
erous entries arriving by freight last
night from coast points in addition
to those already on the grounds The
entries of horses, mules and jacks
outnumbered the other products of the
stock breeders, ,although there are
representative exhibits of dairy stock
and hogs. Considerable competition
is evidenced among the horse breed
ers for capturing the set of work
harness offered by Edgar Brothers
company for the best work horse ex-
hibited at the fair. In fact, Fay
Booher of Calexico stated that it was
this prize more than any other that
caused him to exhibit his Percherons.
In the main show building the north
aisle is devoted to the display of fancy
needlework, which has been exhibited
in profusion by the ladies of the coun-
ty, painting and other art work, and
products of the kitchen, numerous
loaves of bread being entered to cap
ture the driving harness offered by
Edgar Brothers company for the best
loaf.
The Delta Implement company has
had tent of it's own erected to ac-
commodate its exhibit of farming ma
chinery and implements, which is
proving one of the features of this
years fair.
A Great Variety
There is variety of farm produce
that is bewildering to those who are
trying to understand the magnitude
of the production of the valley, and
