 PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct 29 (SpcciaD Some great speed events are promised for the State Fair. The track was never in finer shape, and horses are arriving in great num- bers and being put into splendid con dition. The outlook is splendid, and the way in which famous horses are working-out indicates some more worlds records for Phoenix, 1913.
 Not alone from the horses are they expecting records. The entry of some of the famous drivers in the desert race from Los Angeles and from Fl Paso promises some new marvels. Entries in both races total over fifty, and the roar of the mighty Each day some new race entrant makes his entry into Phoenix after a trip from either Los Angeles or E1 Paso.

 Keen Rivalry.
 Ths general public can hardly con -ceive of the intense rivalry that ex- -ists between certain great drivers and horse owners that will be repre- sented at the Arizona State Fair.
 A week ago the Breeder and Sports published as it's frontispiece cut of Don Pronto 2:O2A over the caption of Champion Pacer On the Pacific Coast"
 Every one who knows anything about horses knew that this was bound to get under the cuticle of R. J. Mackenzie, the multi-millionaire owner of Joe Patchen II, 2:03A. Joe was the sensation of the Grand and Great Western Circuits of last year In fact, he was simply un- beatable, and swept everything worth going after from coast to coast.
 Joe has not been raced this year but has been specially prepared to humble the pride of those who pro- claim Don Pronto to be the champion pace of the Pacific coast. /Joe work ed out a mile the other day on the Phoenix track in 2:05 and came back with a second one in 2:04 just for exercise. He went the last quarter in 29 seconds, a 1:58 gait
 Then there is the eastern end of the game to complicate matters. J. B. Jones of Buffalo, N. Y, the owner of Our Colonel, is on his way out here to show these western horses how to go. Our Colonel got down to his real knitting late in the season and has been going faster and faster every week. It is well known that a horse has to go close to 2:02 to take the pole away from him. Don Pronto and Joe Patchen IT will have to guard their laurels carefully or Our Colonel will take them away from them.
 Then there is that little mare Leata J 2:e3 who has been winning $5,000 purses back east. She has been the sensation of the Grand Circuit and has outstepped the fastest ones. While doing all her racing in the | east, she is owined in California, by | s. Bailey, but as a racer belongs to | no special section. When feeling | right she is a regular little whirl- | wind and the greatest joy that could come to Frank Child's heart, her great driver, and MT. Bailey, her 1 owner, would be to beat Don Pronto and Joe Patchen II.
 To further compHcate matters | there is King Daphne, Said Gold mans black wonder, who gathered in the money at the Minnesota State Fair, Milwaukee and Peoria. While his record is not so fast as some of the others mentioned he has reduced his record three seconds this sea- son, and Sid is coming from Los An geles just to see if King" cannot re- duce it a couple more
 There is no such rivalry between Goldman and the others as exists be- tween the other stables but he hopes to make these would be champions sit up and take notice before the race is over. | This great race is !, for Wednesday and will follow the $5,000, 2:00 trot h It is predicted that the contest be- tween Dick W. Wiley Custer, and Minnie Chimes will be worth going Ii miles and miles to see. The purse : is for $5, 900 and every heat will be {
