ching day OF the second annual
Northern Arizona Fair. All last
night workers were busy in the va
rious departments finishing placing
the exhibits and decorating the va
rious buildings. electric lights hav
ing been installed yesterday in time
to afford them the opportunity OF a
nights work which was so much
needed to carry out the various de
signs
A hurried scout through the vari-
Gus departments yesterday afforded
an opportunity to gain a conception
of the real proportions of the exhibit
ton, and it is really grand in all its diff
ferent phases, although it could not
be viewed at advantage while in
complete.
The grand stand, as well as the
various department tents and build
ings, have been POLITICALLY decorated
with the fair colors, purple and vel
low, within and without These col
ors are interspersed with evergreen.
giving a very beautiful and inspiring
impression. Just back OF the largest
grand stand is a large tent, open on
one side, where twelve or fifteen OF
the new model automobiles will be
on exhibition. Arrangements are al
ready made for parking all autos
back near the livestock section, so
as not to interfere with the view of
spectators, something which was of
great disadvantage last year.
The superintendent OF every de
partment were on the grounds yes
terday with their assistants, in work
up to their eyes, and had little time
to talk to visitors who were admir-
ing the preliminary activity which
was in evidence everywhere.
Poultry Exhibit Large.
The poultry tent is one of the
cleanest and best looking places on
the ground. Evan A. Bonham, sup
erintendent, assisted by Z. D. Vince
lock, were arranging the different
pens and coops yesterday so far
as the exhibits had arrived. At three
o'clock forty exhibitors were on the
ground. There are 200 Spratt's pat
ent coops and sixteen pens, every
one of which, it is thought, will be
occupied Among the exhibits in
place at that time were five pairs
of carrier pigeons and pen of black
minorcas, owned by Mr.. Wheelock,
white Plymouth rocks by F. J. Corn
well, buff leghorns by John Marx
berry, and many other varieties, in
GLIDING fine exhibit OF white crest
cd black Polish chickens, curiosities
sent from Simmons by Mrs. Joe
Matli. The exhibition tent is large
and roomy and the coops and pens
are so arranged as to afford accom-
modations for large crows at all
times. J. B. \. Fitch, licensed poul-
try judge. OF Lincoln, Neb. with 70
years experience. will place his stamp
upon all exhibits. an assurance that
the judging will be scientifically
done
Mineral Exhibit.
This department will attract as
much attention as any on the
grounds. While all the exhibits were
not in when the writer visited the
tent yesterday, they will all be in
place today and will comprise the
largest and most comprehensive min
cral exhibit ever seen here, which
will be sent to the state fair later

pride in explaining his exceptionally
