| The budget was announced for
the first time, the finance commit
tee authorized to get busy" and
a general idea OF the nature OF the
three days program CLEANED. The
session, though a short one, was
snappy and productive of the impress
sion tina; the initial venture of Its
kind here must ultimately be re-
warded by success.
Elaborate Program.
1t is very unlikely that Chairman
Tom Mix OF the program committee
will have completed his entire pro-
gram until the very last day before
the fair The main features are al
ready agreed upon, but the commit
tee has still to hear from several
sources. In addition existing condi-
tons at the time OF the fair may
warrant either a withdrawal of some
feature upon the program or an adj
dition thereto.
However, the principal work upon
the program Is complete Every
indication would point TO the Selig
| Polyscope Company playing a lead
ing part i'll the program Throughout;
The head OF this popular moving
picture concern has rendered VIII
liam Duncan and Tom Mix free
rein 70 extend the services of the
company gratis to the association.
Those who are in d position TO
know. realize that this absolutely
assures success from the amuse-
ment standpoint Not only will
this company be on the job with
an elaborate program Of wild west
ern features, but it also stands
ready TO furnish any number which
may be lett upon the program by
the failure OF some to appear.
Probably one OF the classiest Tea
lures OF the fair and possibly ever
staged here, will be the wild west
show on Tuesday night, October q,
at the local baseball grounds. The
wild western performance will COM
mence with a grand entire followed
by the introduction OF the various
characters participating. Just how
many will be in the cast is not
known exactly, but the figure may
be conjectured by the fact that
some outside help will be required
in assistance TO the regular Selig
company.
There will be an exhibition in
roping steers and dancing upon
| horseback by cowboys and COW
girls Frederic Remington's famous
painting. The Fight at the Water
Hole" will be depicted by the star
cast as well as the Attack Upon
the Stage Coach The burning OF
four or FIVE prairie ships admist a
blaze OF yellow fire and whoOping
will bring the performance 10
grand finale.
This performance should net the
| association a neat sum. There :
practically no expense attached 20
this program and tremendous
crowd should be drawn to the
scene. A string OF arc lights will
illuminate the park.
Four entries or as many as are
desired have been secured in the
relay horse race. Several good
head of steer for roping purposes
are now available as well as a
number of the fastest horses in
Northern Arizona for the champion
ship races.
Healthy Budget.
President R. n. Fredericks report
ed the executive committees budget
estimate at a figure between $3.50
and $1,000 with 5000 OF this
amount still TO be raised among the
citizens of Prescott. Chairman E.
! A. Kastner OF the finance commit
tee and the other members OF that
body will commence their rounds
shortly before the start of the fair,
making collections at the time the
subscriptions are offered.
Fair Colors.
One thousand yards of purple and
gold bunting, the fair colors, will
float about the grandstand and
other buildings on the grounds.
This consignment has been tele
graphed for by the committee and
will probably arrive simultaneously |
with the tents. etc, from Pueblo /
next week.
In addition special decoration
committee will endeavor to induce
every storekeeper in the city and
many owners of private properties !
to adorn their structures in a gar
land OF holiday attire. a prize for
the best decorated structure and es-
adjustment will be offered
Sell Boxes.
One Of the twenty-six boxes in
front of the grandstand has been
reserved for the president of the |
