high to permit of this practice and the fair commission has decided that the rules and conditions are so diff ferent from what they have been in previous years, it is exceedingly inn portant that an up-to- the minute man should be on the job.
 There are so many noted horses here, and there will be such keen rivalry between the east and the west that the commission did not want to take chances on protests and appeals.
 MT. Updegraff is well known to the horse world. He is one of the leading starters in the middle west. This year he started at the Iowa State fair, Minnesota State fair. and other important race meets
 As has been announced, Dr. Frank Stone will do the starting. pr. Stone is well known in Phoenix be- ing the starter here for some five or six years when the fair was young, and is now recognized as one of the leading starters on the Grand and the Great Western circuits. Dr. Stone is now at Dallas where he has done the starting for the last eight years. He will come direct from there to Phoenix, and his many friends here will give him warm welcome.

 UPDECRAFF
For First Time in History of Local Harness Racing, There Will Be Presiding Expert in Judges Stand at State Fair

In o. P. Updegraff Phoenix is to have it's first professional presiding judge at the harness races this year. Heretofore harness races have been judged by local men, the state fair not caring to go to the expense of bringing a judge to Arizona for that purpose. Practically all the big race meets have presiding judges in the judges stand while the harness rac- ing is going on. The small meets very frequently make the starter a presiding judge as well as starter.

Colonel Chittenden is en- tered in the 2:16, PIP and 2:09 trots and Waynetta is entered in the 2:10 and 2:07 pace, so it is easily seen that his competitors will have to go some to keep him out of the money.

This is about the time of the year when the sporting sheets begin saying that the activity of motor car and motorcycle racers becomes feverish We never did put any thermometer or motormeter on any of them, but we do say that there is lots of rush ing around, putting on strips of iron daubing with shellac brushes, twist ing the knobs on new carburetOrS, and listening to motors turn over, and tightening brakes and adjusting clutches and seeing that tires are in good shape and bragging and banning the owner of that ole tub that can't do fifty down hill," and discussing how the roads will be and cussing the management for not recognizing the high importance of cuddling riders and drivers, and swapping secrets about putting the pip" in her, all the way from etherizing the gasoline to using a different sort of cylinder oil And they also study road maps and wire ahead for supplies of oil and gas and give garage men large, fat cigars to put them next to whe nso and so went through, and also to newspaper men to put flattering things about 'em in the paper, and they tell you that the race will be run in so many hours if they don't have bad luck, but they never tell you how fast anybody else is going to win it. It's a gay pre- season roundup of preliminary hot air and preparation and it is as much a part of any automobile or motor cycle race as the checkered flag that stops it.

The Santa Fe opened it's Colorado river bridge near Topock yesterday to general auto traffic and started a system of river crossing that will be infinitely more convenient and safe than the motor ferry. A classy set of automatic gates protect the autoist from getting caught on the bridge while the trains are coming. Planking laid on the ties provides roadway that is good for sixty miles an hour, only nobody is allowed to go that fast. All the auto racers will pass that way.
