 racing meet was decided on by Arena
 Director C. w. Pardee and the ac-
 tion was sanctioned by the fair com
 mission at its weekly meeting yes
 terday afternoon.
 The track at present is in fairly
 good condition, but it will be neces-
 sary to have the turns and curves re-
 paired and banked Pardee plans to
 charge a small gate admission and
 split the receipts 50 per cent towards
 repairing the track and the other half to be divided into purses for those who enter horses in the events The

 Dr. w. w. Lewis, in charge of the and mining exhibits, de- clared that he would need an extra large tent for his display because he has received definite information that an extra large shipment of ore speci mems from Mohave county will be sent to the fair, besides the big ex hibit that is always to be found repre- senting Yavapai's mineral resources Lewis has written personally to near ly every large owner of mining prop erty in Northern Arizona and he de- clared that he has thus far received replies from over 50 men who have expressed their willingness to ship exhibits.
