TIIE r,IR AMUSEMENT

M commission upon the nbor-
w olty o. has shown In the
matter 81 providing high class
amuscmcnts Tor the people of the
state at the coming annual fair. IN
the past the chief criticism upon the
state fair has been tba Il ran too
much Go amuscmonts aud not
pnourh Co the development and cx-
hibit side.
70 would not ne surprising should
tho state fair commission. an official
tudy, 20 10 the other extreme IN

conduct tho fair "fur the advance

charged 20 do In the creating act.
Tho commission. however. appears
10 have exercised good sound iudg-
mrnt aud has reached "A happy me
dunn: a balance 81 the amusement
slide against tho exhibit side which
We believe viii mako this years fair
the most successful the state has
ever known.
The commission has secured the
beet carnival Aggregation In existence
IN America al present. II has done
more; u hns assured itself that these
shows are absolutely clean and has
ycn caused two of the sixteen shows
To- be excluded and substitutes made
In the contract. because these two
were open Go some possible charge
81 being off pa Three big bands
OF music have been secured. In ad-
dition 10 two %aeroplane demonstra-
tions daily there are offered several
Of the most sensational "acts' ever
put on at any fair or exposition.
There are other stunts which the
commission II working for and which
win add materially TO the volume
ana variety Of amusement offered to
the fair visitors. II will be a week
Of splendid entertainment.
But where the fair commission IS
showing It's greatest skin IN manage
ment Is In It's handling Of the exhibit
department. Plans have been de-
vised for making every section OF the
exhibits attractive. 4 man who viii
not go Go look at n pumpkin show
will go to the pumpkin show section
to hear an illustrated lecture about
pumpkins or carrots or almost any
thing else. A man who " not inter
ested IN livestock at all will "a out
OF his way 10 wS."J hove Judging
stock for a substantial cash pr.ze.
Through the whole exhibit section
something more han the mere ox-
hibit Is added; something new and
interest-compclling.
These facts assure us OF the hest
and the biggest fair this state has
ever had. IL means n great forward
step In the fair's development. II
means n bigger fair in 1915 and In
each succeeding year. The institu-
tlon Is being developed on all sides,
with a balance which Is bound 10
make 1t successful.
Another and "A most encouraging
feature Is In the great interest shown
In the fair throughout the state.
Manager Binkert says in an inter-
view In the Herald today that east
crn New Mexico II to make a SPLEEN
did exhibit OF It's farm products and
livestock. The demand for the pre-
MUM books Is such. ne says, as 10
assure "A splendid line Of individual
exhibits. In the most prosperous
year the state has enjoyed for many
years past We seem To- have hit just
the right gait with the state fair.
Tho complete success that now seems
certain for this years fair means the
enlargement and permanent ostab-
lishment OF the fair on n basis with
the big annual shows ~ tho older
sattes. Success this year will mean
that the state fair. supported for
thirty-two years by Albuquerque
alone. wiz have arrived as a fun
fedgcd state institution.
