Preparations for the Fair.


Durango is showing evidence Of the
preparation for the large crowds that
will throng our streets next week.
While the commencement of the fair
is nearly week away the-work Of
making ready to receive our guests
has been started none too soon as it
will take some time transform the
business section into the blaze of
glory that will give the proper recep-
'tion to the hundreds who have signi-
fed their intentions of coming here
for the festivities. Street decorations
will probably be carried out on more
magnificent scale than ever atempt-
ed here before. Business houses will
vie with each other in decking their
establishments. With these prepara-
tions of course will come the string
ing of colored lights by the Western
Colorado Power company. These
lights will add materially to the eff
feet of the streets at night and will
be necessary part Of the work Of
making the city appear at its best.

During the Fair.
Last night d. R. Mckinney read to
the fair directors the petitions sign
ed by subscribers to the fair fund
and others asking that the directors
reconsider their contract with the
Denver Post band and employ the To-
cal band. 1t was explained to Mr..
Mckinney that the contract has been
signed. and the presence of the musi-
clans widely advertised throughout
the territory tributary to the section,
so to comply with the request was
impossible. When the circumstance
had been fully presented Mr.. McKin-
ney frankly admitted it was impos-
sible to change the arrangements. but
it was thought possible that provis-
ions might be made for the local
band to also furnish music. Presi-
dent Jackson offered to give $40 and
each of the directors. including Sec
retary Cooke, IS each. A sufficient
amount may be raised to make this
arrangement possible. Secretary
Cooke reports that persons having
rooms for rent during the fair, have
been very slow about registering
them, and made special request that
they hasten to do 30 In order that all
visitors may be provided with accom-
modations, without Inconvenience to
the directors, whose time will be full
ly occupied along other lines during
the time the fair Il in progress. It
was announced that season tickets for

During the four days that exhibi-

the aeroplane flights were the draw

The machine used is of the Wrigh,

some who had their doubts at first In
regard to the aeroplane making
flights on account of the fact that q
number Of so-called aviators have re.

to make good. However, they were
ngreeably disappointed. Despite the
fact that the grounds at which the
flying was done were not favorable
for aviation, each and every time
that the machine went up-and il
went up on schedule time each day
the flight was perfect.
